Learning to Love Midlife
With Chip Conley
April 11 - 13, 2025
Are you feeling bored, stuck, bewildered, or overwhelmed in your 40s, 50s, or 60s? You’re not alone. Welcome to midlife, a time when many of us feel restless and disenchanted. New studies show that after a temporary bottoming-out of life satisfaction, we often start feeling more content and alive in the core and latter part of midlife; the latest research in the psychology of aging reveals that when we shift our mindset on aging from negative to positive, we can add seven and a half years to our lives.
Chip Conley, founder of the Modern Elder Academy (MEA), the world’s first midlife wisdom school, and a leading midlife activist, is helping demystify and elevate midlife as a life stage of profound personal transformation.
During this workshop, we will:
- Dive into the 12 reasons why life gets better with age.
- Explore navigating midlife transitions and growing your TQ (Transitional Intelligence).
- Review your mindset when it comes to your physical, mental, emotional, social, and family health.
- Cultivate a new sense of purpose in both your personal and professional life.
- Learn tools and practices to cultivate, harvest, and share your wisdom.
- Develop an action plan to consciously curate the second half of your adult life.
Today’s modern elder is always searching for greater meaning, deeper relationships, new experiences to explore, and ideas to imagine. Join Chip for a rare weekend opportunity to discover a new way of thinking about midlife, an invigorating time of re-imagination, re-creation, reflection, and true growth — on our own terms.
