Explore MEA's Stunning Campuses
MEA’s Baja, Mexico campus is our beachside classroom. Spend time together in bright, airy rooms next to a courtyard of bougainvilleas for breakout conversations. The rooms and grounds feature multiple pools and hottubs, massage rooms, a yoga studio, library, organic garden, and plenty of comfortable seating nooks for relaxing and reflecting.
After a careful selection process, we chose Santa Fe, New Mexico, a region with a rich history of creativity, inspiring spaces, and innovation coexisting with ancestry, as the spot for our U.S. campus. Here, we use nature as a teacher to deliver a wisdom-focused curriculum and a spirit-of-play experience. Whether it’s horseback riding and astronomy, cooking classes and music by the fire, or an immersion into regenerative ranching and soil science, your team will experience connection in new and unexpected ways.

What does a week at Sabbatical Sessions look like?
Your stay will be self-guided from day-to-day and our weekly schedule will change only slightly depending on the expertise of our SabSesh facilitators. We’ve made it easy to participate in as much or as little as you like with regularly scheduled meals and daily sessions.

Why Do Organizations Need This?
Last year, burnout rose globally with U.S. workers showing the highest incidence of burnout (43%).
Over four million American workers quit their jobs each month.
70% of C-suite executives considered quitting to find a career that improved their mental health and well-being.
For the first time, there are now five generations in the workplace.
Need to reduce burnout in your organization? Are your teams struggling with working across generations? Do you have a retention problem? MEA will help you creatively resolve these problems.
Proven Curriculum
MEA’s academic-backed curriculum is based on co-founder and CEO Chip Conley’s book Wisdom @ Work and delivers the tools and practices to create wise organizations.
