Financial Aid for Baja Workshops

Financial Aid is available for those with a moderate or significant financial need.

Our entire society is made stronger when everyone has the opportunity to learn, participate, and grow, regardless of economic status. MEA is committed to supporting diversity in learning. A portion of our workshop participants can receive a financial aid award on a need-aware basis at two different levels.

Gold Level
Financial Aid
$1,250 (MEA)
Remaining Balance
$2,750 (Participant)
Platinum Level
Financial Aid
$2,500 (MEA)
Remaining Balance
$1,500 (Participant)

Applying for full tuition is the only way to guarantee you’ll be accepted into your preferred workshop.‍ Full tuition is $4,000 per person for shared accommodations. Private rooms can be guaranteed for $5,500.

How it works

  • Select your desired Baja Workshop
  • Click on “Apply Now” and complete the application. There you can select the option to apply for financial aid and provide additional details. Please be aware that we have more requests for aid than we have space available.
  • Applicants requesting financial aid will be in a shared room with another guest of the same gender. Our Gold-level applicants will be placed on an upgrade list for a private room should one become available. This is not guaranteed. Exceptions for specific medical or personal conditions may be considered.
  • We will announce Gold-level awards or offer Workshop alternatives within 5 business days of application submission.
  • We will announce Platinum-level awards a minimum of 5 weeks before the requested Workshop start date.
  • Once your application is accepted, full payment is due within 5 business days. Failure to complete payment within this time will result in your award and application being canceled. Note: 7% lodging taxes and a $100 service fee will be added to your final invoice.

Too often our quest for happiness involves a chase for the external trappings of life - career, financial, relationships, etc. True happiness comes from the inside out. It comes from a place of aligning our actions with our values. From recognizing the gifts of growth in every situation.

Appreciating your body for what it can do rather than how it looks is where we begin. Making peace with your physical reality so you can fully enjoy your body and appreciate the beauty of what “is” ...that is the essence of healthy aging no matter what your age.

Mastery Week: New Frontiers of the Enneagram
By 
As we move into retirement and the later chapters of our lives, it is a wonderful opportunity to discover aspects of ourselves that we never had a chance to explore before. The Enneagram is an incredible tool for seeing many of our assumptions about ourselves, but more importantly, for opening up new vistas about our possibilities.
