MEA, a one-of-a-kind wisdom school designed to help people navigate and thrive in midlife, is hosting its third annual MEA Film Fest Dec. 14-19, 2026, at Rising Circle Ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The six-day immersive experience will bring together film lovers, filmmakers and actors.
Unlike traditional festivals, this gathering is designed to cultivate an intimate, community-centered experience by limiting attendance to maintain a rare 2:1 attendee-to-creator ratio. Through 40+ film screenings, immersive workshops, and open conversations, participants engage directly with creators on identity, creative longevity, aging, and legacy.
Local attendees can participate via a daily commuter rate ($2,500), which covers all films, activities, and chef-prepared meals with wine.
