This is truly MEA’s “secret sauce” and something you can only experience in person: the powerful connections you will make, not only with your fellow participants and the incredible MEA faculty, but also the deeper sense of connection you will feel to your own inner self and the natural world around you.
Research into aging shows that your relationships play a HUGE role in your health and longevity. At MEA, you'll make deep and lasting connections, becoming part of a larger community that will make your life richer and more meaningful.
Our alumni cohorts stay in close touch after their workshop and we have a growing number of local alumni chapters all over the world.
It’s a joy for us to see them continuing to offer each other community, friendship, and support as they create thriving midlives for themselves. So if you have been feeling at all disconnected or isolated on your journey, we would love to have you join us!
The MEA experience was designed by Chip Conley, a world-renowned boutique hotelier, and from the first bite you will taste the difference.
All of the ingredients are locally sourced and organic, and the food is made from scratch in our kitchens by incredible chefs.
The delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners will leave you feeling nourished inside and out – not to mention blended drinks made with fresh fruit and other top-shelf ingredients.
Each retreat center has multiple kitchens that always have snacks and beverages available. At MEA, we believe that thriving is delicious!
