Burned out? Do you feel like your life is lacking meaning? Are you longing for fulfillment? Do you struggle with self-doubt or worry? Or just more time to focus on what matters most? Do you even know what matters most anymore? I would love to help you!
Please join me for a 5-day retreat from February 17 – Feb 22, 2025 in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

The icing on the cake? Big-sky desert country, breathtaking nature, interaction with horses and donkeys, evenings around the campfire and star-gazing.
Space is limited; we anticipate that this retreat will fill up fast.
Christine’s wisdom is a perfect alchemy of deep and broad knowledge of the research, the science behind the how and why of who we are, and an intuitive, grounded, and empathetic connection to the humanity that hums through each of us. I felt such trust in the spaces she created, and joy in wonder in the learning she guided us towards. I left not only with an abiding sense purpose, but also with the understanding that I had a forever resource in Christine. Her workshop was life-changing in the best possible way.

“Christine gently guides you through mind-blowing exercises that help you reflect on your strengths, desires, and what makes you feel alive in the pursuit of cultivating purpose. The real beauty of Christine’s approach is that she’s not just instructing—you’re on this journey together. She shares her own vulnerabilities and works through the MEA curriculum alongside her students. It’s a safe space to explore whatever arises, leaving you with a sense of direction and optimism.”

“Christine’s workshop was incredible. I have read her books and though I knew what this would be like (amazing) but it was SO much more than I even dreamed. It was amazing times 100,000,000.”

Christine Carter has rock-star allure. She is analytical, creative, pragmatic, sharp, goal-driven, and sensitive. I was lucky enough to attend her MEA seminar, ‘Reconnect with what you are and what you want,’ which helped me realize that I can mastermind my own life. And now, after years of doubting, thinking, wanting, and wishing, I am well on my way.

As a long-time admirer of Christine Carter’s research and writing, I entered the week at MEA with high expectations, all of which were not only met but exceeded. Christine has an extraordinary ability to foster a truly transformative experience, blending her wisdom, engaging interaction, and practical tools. I left with not only a clear plan, but also a profound sense of purpose and clarity. Her workshop was nothing short of magical.
