Across three magical days together, you will connect with like-minded women, be inspired by captivating experts and storytellers, enjoy immersive workshops, and share your stories with each other.
It’s time to answer the call of your “one wild and precious life.”
Envision Your Boldest Chapter Yet: Shape your third act into the most exciting and meaningful story of your life. Discover how to live, love, and make an impact with courage and joy.
Shed Old Stories: Let go of fear, doubt, should and “it’s too late” narratives. Reflect on your journey to uncover the truths that can set your heart free for the road ahead.
Illuminate your “AHA” Moments: Reflect on the your life’s defining moments —wake-up calls, flashes of clarity, and magical synchronicities that have shaped your journey. Reconnect with your deepest desires through story-sharing, creative expression, and soulful conversations.
Ignite Your Impact: Hear from trailblazing women who’ve blended their passions, talents and values into ventures that uplift others, sparking ideas to amplify your own purpose.
Build Dream-Team Bonds: Connect with like-minded women who will cheer you on, challenge you to dream bigger, and pick you up when you stumble. These are the new life-long friendships that can fuel your third act.
Redefine aging for ourselves and the women behind us. After 50+ years on this planet, we will encounter new challenges and changes in our bodies, our relationships, our careers and the culture. With a potential extra 30 years life expectancy as compared to our great grandmothers, this is our time to rewrite the stories of what aging means.

Story Bench Dedication
Before we depart, we’ll gather to dedicate a “story bench” donated to the city of Santa Fe as a permanent tribute to the power of storytelling and our transformative “AHA” storytelling event. Capturing the moment in a group photo, we’ll dedicate it as a lasting spot for people to sit and share their stories with friends or strangers.
Unique Cultural & Historical Experiences
Immerse yourself in the rich cultural and historical tapestry of Santa Fe, hosted at the iconic La Fonda on the Plaza. With a legacy dating back to 1607, La Fonda sits on the site of the city’s first inn, weaving together 400 years of history as a cornerstone of the Santa Fe Trail and a former Harvey House.
Quest 2026 experiences will include a special presentation by a Native American storyteller, sharing the profound power of narrative in their culture, alongside captivating music, dancing and art from the Native American community.
