In today’s fast-paced world, where constant notifications and endless to-do lists dominate our lives, finding inner peace can seem elusive. The Modern Elder Academy (MEA) offers a transformative five-day workshop titled “Finding Your Center: Building Resilience to Withstand Any Storm,” designed to help individuals cultivate unshakeable calm amidst chaos. Set against the serene backdrop of MEA’s regenerative ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico, this retreat provides participants with practical tools to navigate life’s challenges with grace and resilience.
Embracing the Pilgrim’s Way
Led by renowned author and speaker Pico Iyer, the workshop introduces “The Pilgrim’s Way,” a blend of ancient wisdom and modern practices aimed at transforming daily overwhelm into deep, lasting peace. Drawing from his extensive experiences, including dialogues with spiritual leaders like the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu, Pico shares time-tested techniques to help participants access inner calm, harness chaos as a teacher, and build meaningful connections. His insights offer a path to not just manage stress but to thrive amidst it.

Chip brings a wealth of experience in turning uncertainty into opportunity. Through his sessions, participants learn strategies to stay grounded, focused, and decisive, even when the world feels unpredictable. His approach emphasizes the power of embracing midlife as a period of growth and reinvention.
