Modern Elder Academy is the world’s first midlife wisdom school—and to a community built on spreading wisdom and navigating transitions together.

Midlife isn’t a crisis. It’s a calling. That’s certainly the case for the three co-founders of MEA—Chip Conley, Christine Sperber, and Jeff Hamaoui—who saw an opportunity to reframe aging and help people make the most of midlife, an era that lasts decades longer than it did a century ago.

From online courses to workshop retreats on the beach in Baja or on the newest campus in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the Modern Elder Academy blends midlife wisdom and social science-based knowledge to help adults find—and focus on—their calling. MEA students learn from the brilliant minds and teachings of world-renowned experts across various fields to connect with and grow their own wisdom.

This workshop will help equip you with the tools to ignite your life with purpose. What are the things that bring meaning to your life? The purpose of your life is to discover your gift. The work of your life is to develop it and the meaning of your life is to give the gift away. Join us as we build a purpose portfolio for the next step of life.
