Smiling women

Explore what you need to feel whole, inspired, and supported in this next phase of life and reimagine what true power means at Modern Elder Academy's Rising Circle Ranch in Santa Fe, NM.

Leslie Salmon Jones

Every transition carries an invitation: to become more fully, freely, and powerfully yourself.

You've navigated endings, shifts, and unexpected turns — seasons that tested your strength and left you questioning your footing, your direction, even your own power at times.

Now you're standing on new ground, ready to gather the pieces of what's been and shape them into what's next.

Yet your next steps forward can be unclear.

You may feel the pull to create, to contribute, to live with renewed purpose. But you're not sure where to begin — and the confidence and momentum that once came easily to you now takes effort.

And in the quiet moments, you wonder: do I still have what it takes to show up fully and create the life I want most?

Carla Goldstein

This is where women weave their power back together.

There's something profoundly healing about being in a circle of women who understand what it means to rebuild, to rediscover, and to rise together.

In the company of others who've walked their own winding paths, your strength multiplies. Stories become mirrors. Wisdom becomes shared power. And suddenly what once felt isolating begins to feel expansive and full of possibility.

That's the space that Carla Goldstein and Leslie Salmon Jones have spent their careers creating. As co-creators of Omega's Women's Leadership Center, they've guided thousands of women throughout the seasons of transition toward renewed purpose, confidence, and clarity.

Now you can join them for an intimate all-women workshop at Modern Elder Academy's luxury retreat center at Rising Circle Ranch surrounded by the beauty of the Santa Fe high desert. With their blend of insight, movement, and embodied practice, Carla and Leslie and MEA's own Barb Tint will help you remember what power feels like — and how to use it to shape what comes next.

This workshop is for you if ...

  • You identify as a woman and are navigating change — by choice or by circumstance, and want to move through it with grace, strength, and clarity.
     
  • You feel ready to rediscover the parts of yourself that got lost while caring for others, building a career, or weathering transition.
     
  • You sense there's more creativity, vitality, and purpose within you — and you're ready to access it.
     
  • You're drawn to the idea of power that's collaborative, grounded, and nourishing — not performative or competitive.
     
  • You crave connection with other women who understand the complexities of midlife and share your desire to grow, not retreat.
     
  • You're ready to step into your next chapter with renewed confidence, clarity, and joy.

What You'll Gain

  • A renewed relationship with your power.  Redefine strength on your own terms — not as control or perfection, but as presence, authenticity, and the courage to show up fully.
     
  • Clarity about what's next. Begin to see your path forward with fresh eyes, weaving together past lessons and new possibilities into a direction that feels true to who you are now.
     
  • A deeper connection to yourself and others. Experience the healing that comes from community — being seen, supported, and inspired by women who are walking their own courageous paths.
     
  • Embodied wisdom through movement. Through gentle yoga and dance-inspired movement suitable for all levels, reconnect to your body as a source of insight, release, and creative energy.
     
  • Tools for resilience and renewal. Learn daily practices that restore balance, spark creativity, and help you stay grounded in the midst of change.
     
  • A vision you can trust. Leave with renewed confidence, clear intention, and a felt sense of the power that's always been yours.
