You were never meant to figure out all of this alone.

How to care for your body as you age – and cultivate the strength and vitality to live fully, now and for decades to come.

How to trust your own voice and advocate for yourself when the medical system doesn’t listen.

How to make informed decisions about your health and well-being –  when the cacophony of information is overwhelming, and all the answers you find are confusing, conflicting, or feel out of reach.

It’s no surprise that so many women in midlife are exhausted!

Not just by whatever health issues or symptoms you may be dealing with, but by the pressure to “optimize” every part of your life in the name of health and longevity – all without real guidance or community. 

That’s why we are so excited to announce our brand-new workshop: Women’s Health: Reclaim Your Agency, Power & Freedom.


Here’s your chance to gather in community with other inspired women and gain the tools and support you need to make informed decisions about your health, nutrition, and lifestyle that will empower you to thrive for years to come.

Guided by MEA Co-founder Christine Sperber and Women’s Health & Empowerment Expert Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz, this workshop will help you cut through the noise around healthy aging, reconnect with your body, and build a personalized path to lasting vitality – now and in the decades to come.

What you’ll gain

Through a blend of science-backed guidance, experiential learning, and integrative wisdom, Dr. Suzanne and Christine will help you…

  • Understand how your body is changing – and what you can do to support it at every stage, from your 40s to 80s and beyond
  • Find clarity amid the conflicting advice around hormone health, nutrition and exercise, supplements, and more
  • Learn how to discern which sources of health and wellness advice are trustworthy – and which to ignore
  • Start to treat yourself as a “study of one” and identify the lifestyle choices that will strengthen YOUR long-term vitality
  • You want to build the strength, vitality, and mental clarity that will support you in living fully now – and staying strong and clear in the years ahead.
  • Gain the tools and confidence to advocate for yourself in settings where you want the agency to make your own decisions.

You’ll cultivate the clarity, courage, and community you need to make empowered choices – and walk away with a personalized plan to support your well-being now and into the future.

People come for the workshops,
but they stay for the community

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 wellbeing later in life. At MEA, you will make deep and lasting connections and become part of a larger community that will make your life richer and more meaningful.

Many of our alumni cohorts have stayed in close touch for years 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!

Have we mentioned the food?

The MEA experience is designed in part by Chip Conley, a world-renowned boutique hotelier, which means the food is amazing.

All of the ingredients are locally sourced, organic, and made from scratch in our kitchens by hand-picked chefs. The delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners will leave you feeling nourished inside and out – not to mention the 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!

This was a beautiful journey that has come to an end, unfortunately.

The program was spectacular. It really surpassed my expectations. I was really surprised about how the course was curated. There was such a warm intensity and personal touch to it.

MEA is for anyone who wants to live with greater purpose and gratitude.

I experienced MEA as a newly diagnosed multiple myeloma cancer patient, and as a result of the things I’ve learned - I’ve banished the anxiety of being a cancer victim, am in remission, and living with a newfound energy and purpose.
