These Signature Master Classes offer focused, meaningful explorations designed to spark clarity, energy, and direction for your next chapter.

Blue Zones Lessons for Longevity & Purpose

Discover what the world’s longest-living communities can teach us about thriving with intention. Drawing from UPEACE’s Costa Rica —home to the famous Nicoya Blue Zone—this master class is for designing a life filled with vitality, belonging, and meaning. It’s an inspiring invitation to rethink how you connect and create.

Reinventing Identity: Who Are You When You’re No Longer Your Job?

Stepping beyond a role or title opens a liberating yet uncertain space. In this master class, you'll explore identity transitions and reconnect with parts of yourself that were waiting for the right moment. Through guided reflection and future-oriented frameworks, participants begin shaping the chapter that comes after achievement.

Positive Aging & the Happiness Curve

Well-being doesn’t follow a straight line... it evolves throughout life. This master class dives into the science of the Happiness Curve, revealing why many people experience a rise in contentment and fulfillment later in life. You'll learn to cultivate psychological strengths that grow with age, and design environments that support flourishing.

• Attend the in-person Costa Rica experience, including the Positive Leadership course, Gross Global Happiness Summit, and Costa Rican travel pieces.


Join monthly webinars on topics like estate planning, managing family happiness, and well-being.
