As we explore together the difficult but also sometimes hilarious aspects of caregiving, we grow and change and explore the very corners of what our feelings are. Doing this work in community is profound, a blessing. Sharing with others who are going through similar journeys, struggling, commiserating, as well as laughing together is so important. I am so grateful for this Modern Elders Caring for Others (MECO) group and looking forward to continuing our journey together.
More about our group can be found at our website (https:/mea-carers.net). We were formed by and for alumni of the Modern Elder Academy (MEA). Please feel free to share this website link with MEA alumni you think might want to join our conversation.

Welcome to the Canadian Chapter of MEA alumni!
In the spirit of keeping the MEA vibe alive, we'd like to invite you to join us for our next Canadian Chapter event!
We meet via zoom on the last Wednesday of every month.
Besides connecting with other MEA alums, these 60-minute events are an opportunity for purposeful conversations. Not only do we share our experiences and insights gathered from our time with MEA, but we also invite suggestions for topics that you're passionate or curious about.
And true to the MEA way, we offer the safety of generous listening and authentic sharing from the third vault. (We speak from our heart more than our mind).
If you have any topic you'd like us to talk about, or a question you might have for us all, please contact me or go to the proposed list of topics here.
We really hope you can join us for our next exclusively Canadian MEA event!
Let’s keep the MEA vibe alive!

Join other MEA alumni from around Asia Pacific for our monthly Zoom call. Each connect includes a “Getting to Know You” introduction to a team member, a short presentation on our topic for the month and a break-out discussion on the topic. Animated conversations guaranteed!
Please join us for THE THIRD ACT AFFINITY GROUP, a Community for Beyond Midlife—Thursday, October 19, at 9:00 a.m. PST / 11:00 a.m. CST
FINDING YOUR WHY IN THE THIRD ACT—Like many of us, you might sense what motivated you earlier in life doesn't seem quite as compelling anymore. Maybe you have identified new aspects of your life that do but aren't sure how they connect or you don't have great clarity around what gives you a sense of purpose these days.
On our next call, Moss Kardener will interview executive coach, author, motivational speaker, and fellow MEA alum Eileen McDargh, who is certified in the WHY Institute's proprietary Discovery techniques, which reveal "the operating system that drives you." Eileen will guide us through breakout sessions designed to begin us on our path toward clarifying how our personal "whys" have changed as we've aged and what is most relevant for us today. Please join us for this important conversation.
Register for the meeting by clicking HERE. You will be sent a confirmation and a link to the Zoom call.

The Buck Institute for Research on Aging is basically the NASA of scientific research on aging. It is one of the most influential research labs you have never heard of, until now.
Featuring the CEO of The Buck with Chip Conley, the goal of this event is to introduce the MEA and Buck Institute communities together and to explore the incredible innovations in aging underway that will radically change how we age in the next 20 years. Dr. Verdin is one of the most cited scientists in the world and the innovations underway are truly exciting and dovetail beautifully with our work in reframing aging at MEA. Dr. Verdin will share some incredible breakthroughs that have just been released and our audience will be some of the first to hear.
