This gathering holds deep significance as it marks a return to the rituals we&#8217;ve cherished over the past 34 years and a celebration that had to be postponed in 2020 due to the pandemic. It\u2019s been a busy year filled with milestones, all while navigating the health challenges of stage-3 cancer. This makes our reunion even more meaningful, and I am deeply grateful for your unwavering support through these times.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_d09a12-6d, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_d09a12-6d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2_d09a12-6d\"]{margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-xxs, 0.5rem);font-size:var(--global-kb-font-size-md, 1.25rem);font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_d09a12-6d mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_d09a12-6d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2_d09a12-6d\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_d09a12-6d img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_d09a12-6d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2_d09a12-6d\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading2_d09a12-6d wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2_d09a12-6d\"><strong>The Journey Continues: Pill. Grim. Age.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These words may seem daunting individually, but together, they capture the spirit of our &#8220;pilgrimage,&#8221; a ritual we&#8217;ve embraced every five years. Life\u2019s transitions are doorways, and our gatherings have been the keys unlocking these moments, creating memories that last a lifetime. We have been companions and mutual witnesses as we\u2019ve journeyed through all these years, from aspiring to be hip to ensuring we don\u2019t break one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since I turned 30, we\u2019ve celebrated my birthdays by traveling to &#8220;thin places,&#8221; as the Celtic Christians called them\u2014places where the veil between worlds is almost transparent (although I would say my 40th b\u2019day in Vegas was a \u201cthick place\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_10a0c0-7c, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_10a0c0-7c[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2_10a0c0-7c\"]{margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-xxs, 0.5rem);font-size:var(--global-kb-font-size-md, 1.25rem);font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_10a0c0-7c mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_10a0c0-7c[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2_10a0c0-7c\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_10a0c0-7c img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_10a0c0-7c[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2_10a0c0-7c\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading2_10a0c0-7c wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2_10a0c0-7c\"><strong>Destination 64: Embracing the Wisdom of Age<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, as I turn 64, we\u2019ll transition from the lively Baja Sur to the serene beauty of New Mexico. We\u2019ll gather from Wednesday, October 30th, to Sunday, November 3rd, at the Rising Circle Ranch, where we\u2019ll explore the pro-aging theme of the \u201cmidlife chrysalis.\u201d This hybrid weekend retreat and celebration will feature a talented group of MEA partners, magic-makers, and friends, offering an opportunity for reflection, renewal, and of course, fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just as some of you never imagined attending Burning Man for my 50th, I suspect some may have wondered if they\u2019d ever witness the breathtaking beauty of New Mexico\u2019s Galisteo Basin. And, for some of you, you\u2019ve never experienced a personal growth workshop (yep, that\u2019s you I\u2019m talking about). Don\u2019t fear, you can come to the celebration without participating in the experiential education activities in the classroom, kitchen, in the horse stables, and in nature &#8211; which will represent about three hours per day for those who want to partake. There\u2019s ample hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, swimming, and all kinds of other ways to take advantage of this 2,566-acre ranch.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_ed9bb6-06, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_ed9bb6-06[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2_ed9bb6-06\"]{margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-xxs, 0.5rem);font-size:var(--global-kb-font-size-md, 1.25rem);font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_ed9bb6-06 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_ed9bb6-06[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2_ed9bb6-06\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_ed9bb6-06 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_ed9bb6-06[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2_ed9bb6-06\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading2_ed9bb6-06 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2_ed9bb6-06\"><strong>Reflecting on the Journey<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we transition from sowing wild oats to growing sage, we ponder life\u2019s bigger questions: Is aging negotiable? How do we move from ego to soul? How do we shift from attaining to attuning? What are we truly in service to? Does life shrink as we age, or does it become more curated? And how do we face the inevitable changes in our bodies with grace, gratitude, and humor?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given that this experience will partially mirror an MEA workshop, we\u2019re going to keep it small: no more than 30-40 people. While our normal all-inclusive cost for an MEA workshop is $4,500-$6,000 per person (unless someone is on financial aid), MEA won\u2019t be charging you anything, but as your birthday gift, I would ask that you make a tax-deductible donation to our 501(c)3 non-profit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.agegives.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AGE<\/a> to support MEA\u2019s scholarships. If you\u2019re coming by yourself, we ask that you make a minimum donation of $2,000 and if you\u2019re coming as a couple or sharing a room, it would be $1,500 a piece ($3,000). If that\u2019s impossible for you, feel free to email me directly. Your only cost is getting to the Ranch &#8211; we take care of everything which will include some time in Santa Fe as well as evening on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skyrailway.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sky Railway<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am eager to share this new chapter of my life with you at our Rising Circle Ranch, a place dedicated to celebrating life\u2019s transitions and moments of reflection in midlife. Your presence has always been my greatest gift, and I look forward to creating more cherished memories with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please join me for this meaningful celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_f6a165-56, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_f6a165-56[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2_f6a165-56\"]{margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-xxs, 0.5rem);font-size:var(--global-kb-font-size-md, 1.25rem);font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_f6a165-56 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_f6a165-56[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2_f6a165-56\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_f6a165-56 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2_f6a165-56[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2_f6a165-56\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading2_f6a165-56 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2_f6a165-56\"><strong>SAVE THE DATE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Event:<\/strong> Chip\u2019s 64th Birthday Retreat<br><strong>Location:<\/strong> MEA\u2019s Rising Circle Ranch<br>77 Saddleback Ranch Road, Galisteo, NM 87540<br><strong>Dates:<\/strong> October 30th &#8211;
