Dear MEA Alumni, I am excited to announce the two Modern Elder Academy Arizona Chapter Events: one in Tucson and one in Phoenix. Thank you for RSVPing. There is still plenty of space for more people. Friends and family are welcome.

Location: TBD - Can we have a volunteer to select the location? Or I will find a centrally located restaurant since there are currently only 4 RSVPs currently.

Note: This is a volunteer run group. Please let me know if you'd like to volunteer to help organize.

Ongoing conversations to connect, engage and learn!

Metro NY invites you to a special in-person event, headlining the one and only Christine Sperber - MEA Co-Founder and Chief Experience Officer (CXO).  Come ready to experience an energizing MEA conversation on evolving in midlife with fun and wisdom!  

Light refreshments will be served. 

This is one of MEA’s pilot Plus One events taking place in select areas this year. These are designed to broaden and raise MEA brand awareness (not a sales pitch!)

Alums are welcome to invite one guest on 4/14 (a newcomer who’s interested or curious about MEA).

Note:  This event is complimentary (thank you, MEA!!). However all alumni and guests must register by Fri. 4/7 to attend. Space is limited; unfortunately walk-ins cannot be accommodated. If you or your guest can’t make it, please be sure to update Evite to leave room for another.‍

Please reach out to Co-Leaders Julia Hollander Campbell at  jhc.newport2@gmail.com or Karen Erbacher at karen@erbacherco.com with any questions.

See you (plus your friends) at this not-to-miss evening!

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!

The theme for the TX/OK MEA Cohort for 2023 - GROWING Old. We’re all getting old. Our MEA experience was all about growing old in a purposeful way. Our community gives us an opportunity to continue this conversation once a month so it finds a place in our consciousness amidst all of the chaos and clutter of our lives.

Chapter Four: Am I Living the Good Life My Whole Life?

• Reimagine your vision of the good life. Are you living in the place you love with people you love, doing work you love on purpose? If so, how can you build on that?
• If not, how can you move toward that vision?

‍

Low tide is at 1:09pm. We'll start at Golden Gardens walking up to Carkeek park. Possibly go to Ray's Boathouse afterwards for a snack and hydration or a picnic lunch if people are so inclined and the weather cooperates. This is also Earth Day so we might want to bring some bags with us to combine this walk with a little cleanup activity...

• Who stands with you?
