We’re down to the final stretch of the AGE Summer Sweepstakes!

If you’ve been thinking about entering, this is your last chance to put your name in the running for a complimentary MEA Core Workshop Experience in Baja or Santa Fe. Imagine having a few days set aside to pause, reflect, connect, and explore what’s next, all while knowing your participation is helping make that experience possible for someone else, too.

Entries close August 31, and the winner will be announced September 1.

Whether you’re hoping for a return to MEA or simply want to help open the door for someone else, every entry supports the MEA Scholarship Fund. And with 100% of proceeds going toward scholarships, your participation helps expand access to transformative midlife learning.

We’d love to see you take your chance before the sweepstakes closes. Good luck!

A personal note from our founder, Chip Conley.

In this video, Chip shares why he and Dr. Caryn Lerman created the Cancer Thriver Workshop at Modern Elder Academy's Rising Circle Ranch near Santa Fe. Together, they guide participants through a transformative experience designed to help cancer thrivers move forward with greater meaning, resilience, and hope.

Many who would benefit from this workshop are also carrying the financial burden that often comes with a cancer diagnosis. That's why AGE is raising scholarship funds to ensure cost isn't a barrier to attending.

A gift of any amount helps open the door for someone seeking support during one of life's most challenging transitions.

Please take a few minutes to watch Chip's message. If it speaks to you, consider making a tax-deductible donation or sharing this post with someone who may benefit from the workshop.

Alongside our sweepstakes, we wanted to share another cause that is close to our hearts.

As many of you know, our founder, Chip Conley, is in active treatment for Stage 3 prostate cancer. He knows firsthand the questions a diagnosis like this brings... Who am I now? What comes next?

You may know someone in exactly that place: a cancer thriver in your life who has come through the hardest part and is quietly wondering, now what?

From September 6-10, MEA Wisdom will host From Survive to Thrive: Cancer as a Catalyst for Deeper Meaning & Purpose, a four-day workshop at Rising Circle Ranch in Santa Fe, led by Chip Conley and Dr. Caryn Lerman, Director of the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center. Together, they offer four intimate days among peers rather than patients, turning hard-won experience into clarity, connection, and renewed purpose for the life ahead.

But the challenge MEA is facing isn't interest. It's access.

Cancer often leaves people with overwhelming medical expenses, putting an experience like this out of reach. That's why we're raising scholarship funds. So that cost is never the reason a cancer thriver misses the room where they begin to find their way forward.

A gift of any size helps open that door.

If you would like to help fund scholarships, AGE is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, so your gift is tax-deductible. Donate here: https://bit.ly/4vnmcG7

P.S. If someone came to mind as you read this, feel free to share it with them. Sometimes simply knowing a workshop like this exists is its own kind of gift.

There’s something deeply rewarding about continuing to learn, no matter where you are in life. Lifelong learning keeps the mind active, the world interesting, and new possibilities always within reach.

It doesn’t have to be formal or overwhelming. It can look like exploring a new hobby on YouTube, taking a class on Coursera or Skillshare, practicing a language on Duolingo, or listening to audiobooks through Libby while you go about your day.

Every new thing you learn adds another layer to who you are becoming. 📚✨

Pop culture has a powerful way of shaping how we think, talk, dress, and even see the world around us. From the music we grew up with to today’s streaming shows, trends don’t just entertain us, they influence values, conversations, and even how generations connect with each other.

It’s interesting to notice what we absorb over time and how it reflects in everyday life, what we quote, what we wear, what we remember, and what we pass on. Pop culture doesn’t just mirror society, it helps shape it. 🎬📺🎵

Creative writing can become a quiet kind of freedom in this season of life.

It’s not about perfection or publication, it’s about expression. Journaling thoughts, shaping memories into stories, writing poetry, or simply putting feelings into words can bring clarity, healing, and a deeper connection to self.

Apps like Google Docs, Notes, or Canva make it easy to capture ideas anytime inspiration shows up. Even a few lines a day can open something meaningful.

There’s no “right way” to do it, just the invitation to begin writing what’s been lived, felt, and learned. 🤍
