The Omega Institute, a nonprofit, donor-supported, educational organization at the forefront of holistic studies, offers a wide variety of workshops, retreats, conferences and professional trainings, both in person at their sprawling 250-acre campus in Rhinebeck as well as online.

Upcoming retreat opportunities include: Transformational Soul Care—from September 8 through 10, 2023. with Amina Naru and Pamela Stokes Eggleston—a chance for participants to recharge their spirit and nurture their soul; and Embody the Five Phases of Chinese Medicine to Nourish Life—from September 8 through 15, with Jiling Lin—during which participants will embody the five phases through nature, art, movement and ritual.

Omega also offers Rest and Rejuvenation (R&R) retreats from June through October that include meals; use of campus amenities; and optional activities, including daily yoga, meditation and tai chi classes. R&R guests (and the general public) can book services like massage, facials and energy work at the newly renovated Omega Wellness Center.

“More than simply a place, Omega is a global community that awakens the best in the human spirit and cultivates the extraordinary potential that exists in us all,” observes Senior Director of Communications Chrissa J. Santoro who goes on to note that, since its foundation in 1977, more than 1 million people have come to Omega to spark creativity, explore spirituality, improve well-being and connect to a community of lifelong learners. “Omega is the nation’s most trusted source for wellness and personal growth,” she adds.

“Whether it’s a weekend workshop or five-day retreat, find respite from the busyness of life as you immerse yourself in a revitalizing practice guided by innovators in the fields of yoga, meditation and mindfulness,” encourages Santoro. “All levels of experience are welcome.”
