In case it helps: In addition to "Geometric Algebra for Physicists" (whose first two chapters I'd recommend to get a nice overview), I found Hestenes' "New Foundations for Classical Mechanics" to be very good and readable. Also, there are many good resources in https://bivector.net/ , including videos, papers, presentations and programs. Finally, an interesting paper (that got me kickstarted) is "Imaginary Numbers Are Not Real—The Geometric Algebra of Spacetime" by Gull, Lasenby and Doran.
