Discover the Power of “Re” Reset. Recharge. Renew.

At Omega, “re” is more than a prefix—it’s a promise. It’s about resetting your perspective, recharging your energy, and renewing your connection to what matters most.

This isn’t about escaping life; it’s about stepping into it with more clarity, intention, and joy. At Omega, you’re invited to come back to yourself, to find connection in authentic moments, and to experience the kind of time that expands, rather than contracts.

A New and Ancient Story Retreat

From the Age of Separation to Reunion

Charles Eisenstein

Course 1404-824/Tuition $215 ($195 Members) SS

Our civilization today lives within a dying mythology, the Story of Separation. As it crumbles, the basic questions that the old story answered arise anew. Who am I? What is real? How can I serve change? Where did we come from and where are we going?

A new story is rising to answer these questions and make sense out of chaos. It is a story that unites spirit and matter, human and nature, self and other, dissolving, then giving new understanding to these categories altogether.

This retreat is an immersion in this new and ancient story, using lecture, story, meditation, dialogue, and group practices to deepen our understanding and embodiment of a new mythology for civilization, hold it in community, and apply it to our lives.

Join us to experience genuine human connection and explore the profound mythology of the age of reunion.

This annual retreat is now open to both NAAS members and the wider community. A New and Ancient Story (NAAS) is an international online community founded by Charles and Patsy Eisenstein. The Omega retreat fee is $215. Charles does not receive payment from Omega for this retreat. Instead, he invites participants to self-determine tuition to contribute directly to him during the event. More details will be made available at the retreat. Retreat begins Thursday at 7:00 p.m.

Charles Eisenstein is a teacher, public speaker, countercultural philosopher, and author who examines the unspoken narratives that direct our society and our lives. He is the author of The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible and The Ascent of Humanity. charleseisenstein.org

Nancy Slonim Aronie says, “I can’t teach writing. I don’t think anyone can. But I can make it safe and I’ve learned when people feel safe, they go deep. The writing gets more powerful, the heart goes deeper, and the words flow faster. Getting the story of your life out of your body means you don’t have to carry the weight of it around anymore. When people ask if it’s therapy, I answer, ‘No, but it’s therapeutic to write the truth.’ ”

Dive into writing and discover your own rhythms, use your own language, and tell your own story. Together, we laugh, we cry, and we write.

Energize yourself on an expansive journey of emotional and physical renewal, using dance rhythms as a gateway to altered states of consciousness.

By engaging in the rhythmic movements of the SAH method, you are guided into a trance state where the body naturally begins to release deeply held tension and wounds. This non-verbal process allows for the expression and resolution of inner conflicts, facilitating a profound connection between mind and body.

As you move through these sacred dance patterns and enter the freedom of a dance-induced trance, you tap into a powerful source of healing, shedding old psychological and emotional burdens, emerging with a renewed sense of vitality, inspiration, and presence. This retreat integrates ancient wisdom with modern somatic practices, leading to lasting transformation and spiritual insight.

VAGAL TONING FOR VIBRANT HEALTH

Awaken Your Inner Healer

Arielle Schwartz Course 2005-767/Tuition $495 ($445 Members)

Vagal toning is a gentle, yet effective treatment that adds stimulation to the vagus nerve pathway through breath, sound, eye movements, self-applied touch, and gentle yoga movements that help you come into balance.

Grounded within the principles of polyvagal theory and trauma-informed care, the work of vagal toning can be thought of as creating optimal balance between parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system actions.

Once you learn to self-regulate your nervous system, says licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Arielle Schwartz, you can boost your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. Vagal toning also can provide relief from symptoms such as chronic pain, inflammation, PTSD, anxiety, and stress sensitivity, since their root cause is a dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system.

This workshop includes meditations, lectures, experiential practices, demonstrations, and collective unburdenings guided by IFS teacher Ann L. Sinko. Your creativity will be engaged through drawing, writing, and movement.

As you learn to strengthen the vagal nerve pathway through these exercises, you foster self-compassion and begin to awaken your inner healer.

AWAKENING THE ANCESTRAL SENSES

Remembering & Reconnecting to a Living World

Josh Schrei

Course 2005-058/Tuition

$595/545/445 ($490 Members) SS

Many of us long to rekindle our felt relationship with a living cosmos. We long to cultivate relationality and reciprocity with our immediate ecology. Yet, we often don’t know where to start. Our ancestors had profound technologies of reconnection. They remembered and reconnected through story, through speaking and singing to land, through listening to the forest and the flowing waters, and through ritually offering back. These tools are still available to us.

Join Josh Schrei, a lifelong student of the mythologies and spiritual traditions, for this deep dive into how to wake up the ancestral senses and connect more deeply to the natural world. We share myths and stories, explore practices of perceiving, listening, shapeshifting, and forest walking, and engage in daily ritual practice designed to wake us up to the vibrant world around us and set us on a path of regular reconnection.

An Exploration of Three Pillars of Practice

Jeff Warren and Tasha Schumann

Course 2005-867/Tuition $525 ($470 Members) SS

Practice can make the box you live in feel nicer, or it can explode the whole box and transform it into something wilder and more free. In this retreat, we explore both. Over five days, we focus on three pillars of practice rooted in Buddhist methods: practices of stability, practices of expression, and practices of direct-seeing into the bonkers interconnected nature of reality.

What does that mean? It means we learn to:

• Meditate in stillness— kind of drooly, kind of happy

• Meditate in movement— wiggly! stretchy!

• Meditate in relationship to one another

We clarify the mechanics of these practices, feel their effects, and look at what they seem to be pointing to.

From grizzled meditators to bright-eyed beginners, the only requirements are a

REWILD YOUR MIND

The Supernatural Power of Your True Nature

Jonathan Hammond Course 2102-892/Tuition $450/400/300 ($360 Members) SS

Quantum physics tells us that “our thoughts create reality.” This means that our current social, political, and ecological crisis, as well as the negative dynamics in our own personal lives, are all first born of our thoughts.

But there is an ancient and magical mind that we can learn to adopt for ourselves that creates new thoughts and new realities.

In this provocative and experiential workshop, you learn a nature-based psychology of the shamans and the natural alchemists—a specific way of seeing the world that opens you to personal power, supernatural connection, energetic attunement, sensual embodiment, and a re-enchantment with natural world.

We weave Indigenous wisdom, magical practice, modern psychology, ecological knowledge, Goddess spirituality, and sexual polarity to usher in a new and wild consciousness that can change the world.

This workshop may not be appropriate for minors or anyone with unresolved sexual trauma.

FINDING FREEDOM THROUGH FAMILY CONSTELLATIONS

Suzi Tucker

Course 2205-841/Tuition $575 ($515 Members)

The philosophy of Family Constellations reveals the streams of difficult connection that move under the surface of current life—the underground entanglements, loyalties, and patterns, says systemic coach Suzi Tucker. In releasing the burdens of previous generations, we become more available to ourselves, she says, freer to forge a fresh path into the future rather than live in service to the past.

In this experiential retreat, Suzi uses the lens and process of Family Constellations to guide participants as they establish their families of origin and the lineages in which they are nested. You learn to:

• Tap into the resilience of the ancestors

• Release inherited resentment and regret

• Es tablish a deeper wellspring of resources

• Develop an action plan that is generative, optimistic, and possible

• Take your place in the present and prepare better for the future

Suzi Tucker is a writer and innovative Family Constellation facilitator and teacher. She has presented her work for a broad spectrum of venues, including Manhattan College, New York University, Union College, the International Family Constellations Training Institute, and The New Center for Holistic Learning. She is the author of Gather Enough Fireflies suzitucker.com

Many women spend their lives focused on satisfying the needs of others in work, family, and relationships. Aging can bring many challenges, but also is an opportunity to move beyond these roles and demands and to make intentional choices that better align with who they are now.

Join psychotherapists Karen K. Moon and Debra Krumholz as they guide you with warmth, humor, and insights to explore, experiment, and slow down in order to gain clarity and connect with what feels most meaningful for you in this next phase of your life.

Utilizing guided meditations, journaling, and group discussions, you leave with greater self-compassion and more clarity for what you want to let go of and what you want to nourish.

This workshop is intended for women at midlife and beyond who are seeking more meaning, authenticity, and connection in their third act of life.

This workshop is also offered Oct. 17-19. See page 120.

Karen K. Moon, LCSW, is a psychotherapist with more than 30 years of experience working with individuals, families, and organizations to cope with grief and trauma.

Enneagram Gateways to Awareness & SelfTransformation

Russ Hudson

Course 2405-889/Tuition $570 ($510 Members)

The nine Enneagram personality types are based on the three primary centers of intelligence: thinking, emotion, and instinct. Distortions or blockages in these centers lead to a loss of connection with our essential nature. Gaining a clear understanding of personality patterns and egoic distortions helps us open to a deeper reality of spirit.

During this workshop, we recognize the ways in which all nine Enneagram types play out in our own personalities and gain psychological insight into the inner workings of the Enneagram types. We engage in meditation practices and exercises designed for a more direct experience of the qualities of essence, such as presence, clarity, compassion, and joy.

Conversational instruction is combined with group meditations, small-group work, seated physical movements, and music in order to fully integrate the richness of the Enneagram material into our daily work and relationships.

The Power of Friendship

We often come upon our deepest friends when taking the long way home, when forced to put down our differences, when humbled to admit that we haven’t a clue where we’re going or how to get there. In the tender space of such honesty, the net of friendship is woven.

In these sessions based upon his new book, You Don’t Have to Do It Alone, Mark remains committed to introducing students to their own gifts and wisdom, as he guides an exploration of how the spirit of friendship opens us to each other.

EVERYTHING BLOSSOMS FROM WITHIN

Painting, Writing & Bookmaking

Laurie Doctor Course 2605-986/Tuition $675/625/525 ($560 Members) SS, LE

The title of this workshop is inspired by the poet Galway Kinnell. In his poem “Saint Francis and the Sow,” he puts the words “self” and “blessing” together to create “self-blessing.” With dedicated time and place, our work is a kind of “self-blessing” and blossoms from within.

In this class, we focus on putting unlikely words together—self-blessing, mind-weeds, shadowpractice—in visual, auditory, and poetic ways. We use ink, watercolor, and graphite and incorporate this work into a handmade book. A contemplative atmosphere and uninterrupted time is an invitation to discovery in our work.

This workshop is open to all levels of experience, from beginners to professionals—and to those of you who want to set time aside for your muse by leaving your phones, watches, and screens outside the classroom.

THE ART OF FLUID MOVEMENT

A Continuum Retreat

Elaine Colandrea and Megan Bathory-Peeler Course 2605-802/Tuition $470 ($425 Members) SS, LE

The human body is a body of water. The breathing, sound, and movement explorations of Continuum awaken our oceanic ancestry. Aquatic creatures are the guides in this retreat.

Fluid movement helps us become more comfortable in our bodies, increasing our ability to adapt to circumstances with more ease. Moving like water dissolves barriers and liberates energy that can support our health, relationships, and artistic expressions.

Through the practice of Continuum fluid movement, a natural state of creative flow is restored by amplifying our innate desire for connection and community. During this retreat, we engage in creative exchanges designed to enrich our internal fluid system, soften our defenses, and foster self-renewal.

Led by movement artists Elanie Colandrea and Megan Bathory-Peeler and other Continuum teachers, this retreat is appropriate for anyone who wishes to sustain themselves from a fluid state of wholeness, well-being, spontaneity, and joy.

Elaine Colandrea and Megan BathoryPeeler are movement artists, Continuum teachers, somatic educators, massage therapists, and collaborators at Watermark Arts. Their work has been deeply infl uenced by their association with Emilie Conrad, founder of Continuum. watermarkarts.com

Archetypes are universally recognized patterns, images, and figures that are part of our collective unconscious. These symbols and beings appear in our dreams, stories, myths, art, and religion, guiding and helping us make sense of our inner and outer worlds.

Join us for an uplifting, otherworldly experience as we explore collective dreams, global archetypal figures, and spiritual experiences through experimental theater. Working and playing together as a dynamic creative ensemble, we weave together live music, sound and vocal improvisations, improvised movement, choreography, and community healing arts practices to cocreate an immersive theater dream world, bringing our deep spiritual presence into our creative practice.

Through the theatrical explorations of archetypes, mythologies, and dreams, we explore different realms and beings—from earthly to the ethereal. Our work culminates with an immersive theater performance through a series of multidimensional vignettes.

This workshop is open to all experiences and backgrounds, including those experienced in music, dance, movement, theater, and visual arts, as well as those who have no formal training.

Elizabeth Clark is a Hudson Valley-based composer, performance artist, multiinstrumentalist, and experimental theater-maker. earth-opera.com

Engage with raw materials and interpret them through handwork. We’ll look closely at branches and trees and ask which parts might make a good spoon and why. How can we transpose a tree’s idiosyncrasies and integrity into an object for daily life?

The workshop is open to participants of all skill levels. This will be a physical class focusing on the meeting point of hand, eye, and material. Because we’re utilizing hand-powered tools, hand strength may be required for certain techniques.

Explore how embracing your fears and vulnerabilities can be your path back to wholeness.

Learning to Love Midlife

Why Life Gets Better With Age

Chip Conley

Course 2902-878/Tuition $415 ($370 Members)

We’re barraged with anti-aging messages in the West. Have you ever thought of what would happen if we instead started developing a pro-aging perspective? What if midlife is a chrysalis, not a crisis?

FIRST & SECOND DEGREE REIKI TRAINING

Brett Bevell

Course 2902-789/Tuition $340 ($305 Members) PT

Reiki is one of the most popular and widely recognized forms of energy healing. Founded by Japanese mystic Mikao Usui, Reiki translates as “divine (or universal) life force.” When properly applied, Reiki maintains health and well-being and can unveil our deepest spiritual nature.

In this Reiki training, we receive initiations for first- and second-degree Reiki using a sacred process called attunement. For many, simply being attuned to Reiki is lifechanging as it raises our overall energy vibration, causing us to shed negative life patterns.

With compassion and humor, Reiki master Brett Bevell guides us in learning Reiki techniques for self-treatment and teaches us how to perform healing sessions on others.

We also learn how to engage sacred Reiki symbols to increase the power of Reiki treatments and send Reiki treatments distantly.

No previous Reiki experience is required. $15 materials fee; include when you register.

DANCING WITH THE BEAR Healing Through Dreams & Imagination

Robert Moss

Course 2902-829/Tuition $360 ($325 Members)

Our dreams show us what is going on inside our bodies and what we need to stay well. They give us fresh and powerful imagery for self-healing. When we learn to go back inside our dreams and dream them onward, we open paths of healing for others and ourselves.

The Bear is the great medicine animal of North America. In Native tradition, the most powerful healers are those called by the Bear in dreams and visions. In ancient Europe, the Bear was a goddess.

In this weekend adventure into shamanic lucid dreaming, we explore how Bear medicine can heal and re-enchant our lives. We discover that active dreaming is central to soul recovery, reclaiming vital energy we lost through pain, heartbreak, guilt, or addiction. Together, we grow the compassionate circle of energy that makes the extraordinary easy.

Ecological Storytelling & Embodiment

Sophie Strand

Course 2902-930/Tuition $395/345/245 ($310 Members)

How can we look at our bodies as being portals into a greater kinship with our ecosystems? What does it mean to look at our wounding—physical, spiritual, emotional—not as an imperative toward self-healing, but as a compass directed toward the wounding of another species or landscape?

In this weekend exploration with writer Sophie Strand, we cocreate myths and meditations that help us to root our bodies into the intelligence of our extended webs of kinship and ecosystems.

Through storytelling, meditation, walking, conversations, questions, and co-dreaming, we:

• Reroot popular myths back into their ecosystems to recover their original wisdom

• Compost old stories and develop mutual listening: to each other and to the land

• Reframe trauma and pain with ecological metaphors drawn from time spent outdoors

• Wander through the forests of Omega and create new sensory maps from smell and sound

The images from the past are spontaneously dissolved.

In deep seeing, we have a direct experience that the interior within the true body and the vast being of the outer, the everything, are simply the whole. All is included.

In silence through Sharon’s transmission and guidance, you experience a palpable expression of love and intimacy that allows you to feel safe dropping into the deep vulnerability required to know yourself as the “All.” Retreat begins Monday at 7:00 a.m. Participants must reside on campus during the retreat.

ANCESTORS TO ELEMENTS

Cultivate Sacred Belonging With Nature

Sebene Selassie

Course 3005-785/Tuition $445/395/295 ($355 Members)

Elements and ancestors are ancient metaphors that exist in seemingly every culture throughout time as ways for people to cultivate sacred belonging. As metaphors, they highlight that human existence rests on a key paradox: all people and things are connected (elements) and, at the same time, we are unique beings, each with our own challenges and gifts (ancestors).

Opening to the profundity of this paradox helps us reconnect to the truth of sacred belonging. Because the natural world constantly expresses both balanced interdependence and glorious diversity, exploring this paradox through the natural world helps us embody the truth that we, too, are nature.

During this weeklong retreat held primarily in sacred silence, we engage in meditation, contemplation, journaling, movement, talks, and community sharing. Through creative and nature-based practices, we explore both our individuality and our interconnection.

There will be designated time during the week for racial and other affinity groups, as well as large group sharing.

Mary Magdalene Revealed A Love That Changes Everything

Meggan Watterson, Traci S. Jackson, and Jake Wesley Rogers Course 3502-708/Tuition $425 ($380 Members) SS

The Gospel of Mary Magdalene was ordered to be destroyed in the fourth century. Why? Mary’s gospel reveals a transformational power that exists within all of us, no matter who we are.

Mary's gospel challenged the patriarchal structure of the Roman Empire. These scriptures reveal a movement in the first centuries after Christ that refused to participate in a belief system that suggested any one of us could be greater than the other.

nd this transformational power, all we need to do is turn inward; to meditate, in the way Mary’s gospel directs.

Through lecture and lively discussion, powerful music, and practice of the SoulVoice meditation, we discover the secret teachings Christ gave to Mary and why they’re so radical even today.

Return home with a personal experience of the love Mary's gospel reveals, a love that changes everything.

Join this workshop from home with Omega online learning.

LETTING THE DIVINE FEMININE TAKE THE LEAD!

Tosha Silver

Course 3502-812/Tuition $395 ($355 Members) SS Named Kali, Lakshmi, Mother Mary, or countless other names, consciousness of the Goddess is arising across the planet, author Tosha Silver says, and the very turbulence of our times is birthing her within hearts everywhere. But what does it mean to let the divine feminine take the lead? Is it trusting that somehow she’ll save the day? Or begging for all our wishes to come true?

Instead, Tosha says, it’s an invocation to the highest, greatest parts of ourselves. It flings open all the doors to Spirit. It invites the inner goddess to take us over, lead the way, and reveal needed actions. It brings courage and clarity we might never have otherwise.

For many years Tosha has taught ways to let the divine feminine lead. Practices of genuine offering, surrender, and gratitude are meant for these volatile times. Join Tosha and offer yourself to the power of the goddess within.

In this workshop, we explore how many of us who are traumatized continue to be trapped by history and react to current experiences in a myriad of ways as a replay of the past. Throughout the week, we explore ways to break the cycles of reenactment and suffering, and learn to represent and befriend our inner experience.

Therapies that work all start from a basic sense of calm and safety. We study and experience the capacity of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), yoga, Internal Family Systems, sensorimotor practices, theater work, and neurofeedback to help overcome a traumatic past and regain the capacity to be fully alive in the present.

AWAKENING MEDITATIONS

Ric Weinman

Course 3702-039/Tuition $335 ($300 Members)

Guided by the founder of VortexHealing® Divine Energy Healing, Ric Weinman, you work with several meditations intended to guide you deeper into the core of your own being and help you shed layers of egoic identity. These kinds of meditations are not designed for relaxation, but rather to help you move through the construct of what you have experienced and identified with as “self” and awaken into a deeper reality.

Facilitating awakening requires more than sharing awakening concepts and leading guided meditations. True facilitation also involves actively and directly bridging others into the awake space residing within themselves— the space where “I” disappears into something vaster and beyond mind.

Ric Weinman has been facilitating awakening with his VortexHealing students for more than 20 years, utilizing the divine presence and intelligence within that lineage, and the bridging it facilitates.

Ric Weinman is the founder of VortexHealing® Divine Energy Healing and the author of several books, including Awakening Through the Veils vortexhealing.org

The main teacher is meditation itself, which has a way of organizing the nervous system all on its own . We also learn from other people's reports of their experiences, insights, and challenges through sharing and discussion.

Every kind of experience can happen on the cushion—our internal processes are as distinct as our fingerprints. The goal is for everyone to return home with a clear understanding of why they meditate, and a clear feeling for their own strange and beautiful practice.

The Astrology of Intimacy Where Two Skies Touch

Steven Forrest Course 4005-866/Tuition $450 ($405 Members)

What light can astrology shed on human intimacy? Can it help us sort out the lasting truth from the kinds of relationship mistakes that leave scars on our hearts?

Explore love from three perspectives, guided by evolutionary astrologer Steven Forrest. First, there is the message of the individual birth chart. What are you learning and who can help you learn it? Second, we learn how charts interact through interaspects—someone else’s Venus squares your Saturn, for example. Third, we learn to read the message of the composite chart, which blends two people’s charts together by calculating the midpoint between their planets.

In evolutionary astrology, our language is psychological, but the background is metaphysical: The language of reincarnation is used where appropriate, and techniques for discerning the prior-life dynamics behind any relationship are analyzed.

Join the Monday sessions from home with Omega online learning.

Exploring Practice in Mind, Music & Life

Nikki Mirghafori, Clifford Saron, and Barbara Bogatin

Course 4005-856/Tuition $535 ($480 Members)

“Whatever you frequently reflect and ponder upon, that becomes the inclination of your mind,” the Buddha said. Throughout this experiential retreat, we examine this essential observation from our intertwined perspectives of contemplative practice, brain science, and music.

Through interactive inquiries and guided meditations, Nikki Mirghafori leads us on a journey into mindfulness and compassion cultivation. Neuroscientist Clifford Saron delves into the mysteries of the brain and neuroplasticity. San Francisco Symphony cellist Barbara Bogatin provides a rare glimpse from inside the process of musical creativity.

Together, we learn how scientists understand the impact of music and meditation on our brains and bodies as revealed through current research. We gain insight about how mindfulness practice enhances musical craft and expression. Looking through the lenses of mindfulness, science, and art, we deepen our understanding of ourselves and our connection to others.

John Vosler

Course 4005-865/Tuition $495 ($445 Members)

Restore your body, clear your mind, and shift the habitual patterns that keep you from living a life of calm, clarity, and balance in this retreat with John Vosler that draws on various lineages of yoga nidra, including iRest and the Integrative Amrit Method.

Yoga nidra harnesses the natural power of sleep to help systematically release physical, emotional, and mental tensions. Through this restorative process, you let go of unconscious patterns that hold you back. All you need to do is show up, lie down, and surrender to the process.

We move our bodies and then rest deeply in yoga nidra, where we experience a profound clearing of the mind and emotions. Together, we create intentions that guide us to live from a fresh perspective, filled with peace and purpose.

Return home with a renewed sense of being and clarity.

MENOPAUSE BOOTCAMP

Embrace This Empowering Time in a Community of Support

Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz Course 4005-026/Tuition $645/595/495 ($535 Members) SS

Over her career, Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz noticed a dearth of information for women experiencing menopause. For too long, this crucial stage in women's lives has been given perfunctory notice in medical schools and is often a hidden secret— denying women information and support. Menopause Bootcamp is an invitation to embrace and even celebrate this developmental phase in the lives of women. Packed with answers to common questions and helpful insights, infused with Dr. Suzanne's expert, laugh-outloud honesty, the bootcamp offers a

360-degree holistic approach to this natural life stage.

Engage in group conversations, get the information you need, and explore:

• How to put the agency back in aging

• How menopause affects the brain, from hot flashes to mood and cognition

• Movement practices for menopause

• Lifestyle changes and nutrition

• Re storing sexual health

• The science of self-care

Return home with an understanding of menopause, feeling embraced by a community of support.

Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz, MD, is a boardcertifie OBGYN and advocate for women’s health who offers an Eastmeets-West approach to menopause. She believes that the 27 million women entering menopause each year deserve holistic information, along with the most up-to-date science and conventional medical solutions. thedrsuzanne.com

Sandrine Harris

Course 4005-904/Tuition $440 ($395 Members) SS MARROW—like the potent marrow of our bones—is a generative experience of unearthing aliveness. It is a process of unlearning patterns of thinking and moving that have been forged unconsciously over time, often from outside messages. It is an invitation into quiet internal exploration, meaningful conversations, personal writing, sensory movement, and meditation for waking up to our human experience.

Through a weave of somatics (body sensing and process), embodiment (presence of the layers of mind, heart, and body), and meditation (in both movement and stillness), we integrate qualities of the living we are in, and out of the push of doing. Together, we forge a path connecting our inner landscapes with belonging—in community and within the natural world.

Elements of MARROW include Feldenkrais® somatics, applications from interpersonal neurobiology and Somatic Experiencing®, liberatory movement, guided meditations, restorative rest, creative mark-making on paper, and forest bathing.

Workshop begins Sunday at 7:15 p.m. No experience is necessary, and this program uses a trauma-sensitive approach. The final evening includes an energizing movement party and bonfire.

We do it by rooting—rooting back into nature, our ancestry, and the truth of who we really are before the world told us who we should be. Under the guidance of curanderismo practitioner Robyn Moreno and guest teachers, we explore ancient and timeless practices for finding our way home again.

During this experiential and heart-opening weekend, we root in support of our sisterhood through movement, meditation, sharing circles, inspired journaling, connecting to nature, and sacred ritual.

Join Vandana in this 5-day retreat and explore how the regeneration of the earth starts with the understanding that we are members of an interrelated earth family, living in symbiotic relationship, grounded in reverence, respect, and gratitude.

The destruction of the earth’s life-supporting systems is rooted in a deadearth worldview that the earth is empty and inert and can be exploited for profit.

Through lecture and discussion, Vandana shares how the principle of Earth Democracy allows us to remove our blinders and imagine and create other possibilities—viewing the earth as a commons instead of private property.

Earth Democracy has a planetary reach and a planetary embrace. We have just begun to tap our potential for transformation and liberation, Vandana says.

During this retreat with Laura Lynne Jackson, we explore how to call in and open up to the angelic realm, meet our spirit guides, and ask for and receive specific, tangible signs from the other side. We learn to enlist the other side as helpers in our everyday life—both in practical and profound ways.

Together we practice exercises that awaken and strengthen our intuitive, clairvoyant, clairaudient, clairsentient, claircognizant, and mediumistic abilities. This heightens our ability to receive messages and connect with the other side.

As we connect more deeply with our team of light, we live more vibrant, more confient, engaged lives in the here and now.

An Illuminated Life is one of Omega’s most popular workshops and will host as many as 500 participants. Register early to secure your seat and housing.

Laura Lynne Jackson is an international speaker, teacher, psychic medium, and New York Times best-selling author. lauralynnejackson.com

Many women intuitively know the creative life cycle of the great Sumerian goddess Inanna. Like this “Queen of the Stars,” divinely led women are called toward wholeness by exploring the depths of their psyche where they unveil themselves to soul so that they may rise again, more fully embodied.

Join depth psychologist Roxanne Partridge on a dynamic journey that travels through the Four Dimensional Wheel, an ancient immersive template used to foster a deeper understanding and connection to body, mind, heart, and spirit for liberated wholeness. There is alchemy and initiation in stripping away illusions and shedding outgrown identities to reveal authentic desires. Guided by Roxanne—using power objects, mask work, shamanic journeying, authentic movement, and ritual—you experience what’s possible when you walk the Inanna path to the embodied self, employing the body’s innate wisdom to heal and regenerate.

Participants will receive guidance in how to prepare and select two power objects for the workshop. Mask-making materials will be provided.

Roxanne Partridge, PhD, is an arts-based, depth psychologist, relational sexuality practitioner, and clinical hypnotherapist who teaches women how to embody their desires and lead lives aligned with what they love. embodyperiod.com

The Way of Awareness

An Immersion Experience in Mindfulness & Heartfulness

Will Kabat-Zinn and Jon Kabat-Zinn Course 5005-727/Tuition $575 ($515 Members) SS, LE

Mindfulness has everything to do with open-hearted attention to the unfolding of experience as it is. In fact, in most Asian languages, the word for “mind” and the word for “heart” are the same. Therefore, we can understand mindfulness better if we simultaneously hear it as heartfulness and cultivate it in that way. During this retreat, we cultivate intimacy with our own experience, letting life itself become the curriculum.

We engage in a range of formal and informal meditation practices, including the body scan, guided movement, sitting meditation, and walking meditation. There is an emphasis on the cultivation of mindfulness in all daily activities to foster a seamless continuity of life and practice. The applications of mindfulness in the face of the full catastrophe of the human condition, including stress, pain, illness, and our implicit biases will be emergent themes.

Workshop begins Sunday at 7:30 p.m.

Will Kabat-Zinn is a mindfulness and meditation teacher whose passion is to help people wake up to their own deepest nature.

There will be prompts for your own writing, discussion, meditations on art and poetry throughout the centuries, and consideration of the writers whose lonely and anonymous vocation it was to record these strange stories.

The purpose of these gatherings is simply to explore the skill of the original writers, and the complex story worlds they make present through their work There is no expectation that anybody has previous knowledge or desire for religious affiliation for participation in this course.

HOW TO TALK WITH ANYONE ABOUT ANYTHING

The Practice of Safe Conversations

Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt Course 5102-719/Tuition $395 ($355 Members)

Talking is the most dangerous thing most of us do and listening is the most infrequent. Instead of listening, we engage in “parallel monologues” about the “truth” of our different perspectives and fin ourselves in conflict and polarization, rather than connection, with nearly everyone.

Conflict and polarization have been going on for centuries, with everyone, everywhere.

Instead, let’s make a shift toward safety and true connection. Guided by best-selling authors Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt, you learn how to:

• Connect with anyone, anywhere

• Replace parallel monologues by learning and practicing a relational skill called Dialogue

• Talk without criticism, listen without judgment, and connect beyond difference

This workshop is open to anyone looking to have efficient, connecting conversations with everyone: an intimate partner, a friend, a child, a colleague, or those with different political, social, and ethical backgrounds.

Harville Hendrix, PhD, and Helen LaKelly Hunt, PhD, are cocreators of Imago Relationship Therapy and the concept of “conscious relationship.” Coauthors of three New York Times best sellers, their newest book is The Space Between harvilleandhelen.com

In this workshop, you are guided by two transformational leaders: best-selling author and founder of the Resilience Leadership Institute, Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal, and the mastermind behind the Reframe method movement, Mona Patel. They lead you through their empirical approach to break free from emotional patterns that keep you stuck and provide a roadmap to take control of your future.

Through the groundbreaking 9-minute Reframe method and Resilience Framework, you release the past and move forward with greater confience, wisdom, and empathy. This workshop isn’t just

about healing—it's about transforming the way you approach your life by learning the lessons of the past to take charge of your future. You leave feeling lighter, stronger, and ready for whatever comes next.

REIKI MASTER TRAINING & CERTIFICATION

Brett Bevell Course 5102-790/Tuition $400 ($360 Members) PT

In the sacred tradition of Reiki training, a Reiki master is empowered with the energetic ability to initiate others into the Reiki system of healing. Once that ability is hardwired into our energetic system through master level Reiki initiation, it raises our vibration and attracts situations, people, and circumstances that are in alignment with our soul’s highest purpose.

In this weekend training with Reiki master Brett Bevell, we are initiated with three master level symbols and learn how to use these symbols to deepen our own healing practice and initiate others into the Reiki system. We also explore advanced Reiki practices that enhance psychic ability as well as techniques that allow one to send Reiki healings to many people simultaneously.

All who complete this training receive Reiki master certification. Previous training in Reiki second degree is required.

Brett Bevell is a Reiki master, poet, performance artist, and featured healer on the Mindvalley app. He is author of The Wizard’s Guide to Energy Healing, Psychic Reiki, Reiki for Spiritual Healing, and is cocreator of The Reiki Divine Healing Card Deck brettbevell.com

ORIGINAL LOVE

The Four Inns on the Path of Awakening

Henry Shukman

Course 5102-815/Tuition $395 ($355 Members)

It is possible for each of us to find boundless love. There is a fundamental peace within us, a core of peace and love. This core loves us, loves the world, and loves our fellow beings. And we can all get in touch with that part of ourselves, that unconditional love, through the simplest practice in meditation—learning to release and let go, in a space of safety.

Original Love offers a map of four “inns” of growth along the meditation journey:

• Mindfulness, which teaches us how to be with our thoughts and emotions, and learn self-love

• Support and connection, which shows us how interdependent we are with the world around us

• Flow, which reveals how little we need to be profoundly happy and fulfiled

• Awakening, where we discover how we are not separate from anything, and everything is made of an unconditional love

Henry Shukman is a poet, author, and teacher in the Sanbo Zen lineage, and cofounder of The Way app. henryshukman.com

Research shows that yoga and relaxation practices help veterans reintegrate after the challenging experiences of military service. In this yoga retreat for male veterans, learn techniques to comfort the body, ease the mind, and promote healing.

WILD ABANDON CREATIVITY

Embrace the Freedom of Imperfection

Jill Badonsky

Course 5205-770/Tuition $505 ($455 Members)

Let’s get into that playful state that makes creativity possible. Through off-beat prompts for writing and art, you are invited to let go of the fear that stops people from enjoying creative expression—which may result in an accidental masterpiece or a good time.

Using fleeting multimedia projections, poetry, music, and the absurd, you are tricked into effortlessly colliding with your creative voice without overthinking. Any perfectionistic tendencies, comparison to others, or immobilizing selfjudgment will be terribly confused and ask to be excused.

During this week of wild abandon, you focus on mindfulness techniques to make creativity easier, such as:

• Creative writing prompts that are springboards of unexpected journeys

• Ways to sketch and use watercolor that defy self-doubt and crippling comparison

• Altered state of sketching in which you generate a plethora of sketches in a short amount of time

For intimidated beginners to seasoned pros.

Rest & Reset Weekend

Building on the tradition of Omega’s Women and Power conferences, this women’s gathering is an opportunity to come together in a supportive community devoted to our wellness, nourishment, strength, and thriving. The weekend is all about creativity, connection, and rest—a breathing space for these times and an antidote to our culture’s pace and polarization. It’s your time—your time to see what emerges within you and as a community, as we share friendship, conversation, and ideas. The weekend will have a festival feel and lots of choices for free time and experiences, including:

• Re st, body-care, meditation, yoga, healthy food, and wellness opportunities

• Inspiring talks that call us to light the way forward

• Awakening creativity through art- and music-making, poetry, movement, and more

• The Omega campus in autumn, including walks in nature, kayaking on the lake, a fie ceremony under the stars

A highlight of the weekend is participating in a nap ritual with Tricia Hersey, where we embrace rest and care as our birthright. Tricia guides us in a rejuvenating experience using her curated soundtrack, rest altar, poetic meditations, and a post-nap talk.

“You were not just born to center your entire existence on work and labor,” she says. “You were born to heal, to grow, to be of service to yourself and community, to practice, to experiment, to create, to have space, to dream, and to connect.” And on Sunday the electrifying Nadia Bolz-Weber helps us challenge our assumptions, gather our courage, and increase our compassion— toward ourselves, each other, and our times.

Come dream and connect with us!

MEMOIR AS BEWILDERMENT

Nick Flynn

Course 5405-750/Tuition $395 ($355 Members)

When fist approaching the idea of writing our memoir, says memoirist and playwright Nick Flynn, we often write what we believe is our unique autobiography— but as we press on, we discover that our story is connected to everyone’s story, and only then can we access the deeper mysteries of life.

Under Nick’s guidance, we look for those moments when we begin to stutter when talking about our projects, and then push more deeply into the shadows of our misremembered past. We wrestle with these deeper mysteries, as well as the concept of bewilderment, and how we can embody both—through syntax, our access to the duende, leaps into the unconscious, or simply circling around what is unsaid and unknown. Push deeper into this shadow world and become more open to question why you tell the stories that you do.

THE GOLDEN SHADOW METHOD

Jungian Psychology, Buddhist Philosophy & Indigenous Wisdom

Melanie Ryan

Course 5605-035/Tuition $520/470/370 ($425 Members)

Spiritual traditions around the world tell us we have wisdom and power hidden within. We are spiritual beings born with inherent goodness and a great capacity for love and compassion. Social conditioning and cultural programming can suppress these positive energies and prevent us from experiencing our “golden shadow.”

Using modern psychology and ancient wisdom, we awaken the most bright and beautiful aspects of ourselves. We explore Carl Jung’s concepts of the personal and collective shadow, practice active imagination, and complete a shadow/soul integration. We engage in guided meditations that cultivate awareness, courage, and a calm, clear, creative mind.

We awaken our ability to self-heal, and enhance our intuitive abilities by working with spiritual guides, power animals, and nature. We learn to heal on a soul level and transmute emotional triggers. We unleash creativity, playfulness, and joy.

• Explore the Five Elements (water, wood, fie, earth, and metal)

• Discover how these energies awaken the many parts of ourselves, from wild to tranquil

• Learn to craft a routine attuned to the time of day, season, and your physical and emotional state

Take with you a meaningful, year-round qigong practice, with tools to bring balance into any setting with a deep sense of connection to yourself and nature.

This workshop includes both indoor and outdoor settings. Beginners and those looking to deepen their practice are welcome.

Bethany Ryker is an Integral Qigong and Tai Chi instructor, licensed massage therapist, and longtime staff faculty member at the Omega Institute. Her vibrant teaching style embraces the vitality of nature to cultivate balance and inner strength.

A WAY TO BETTER BALANCE

Postural Retraining

George Locker

Course 5702-043/Tuition $425/375/275 ($335 Members)

Falls are the leading cause of injuryrelated death, non-fatal injuries, and emergency room visits. George Locker, author of Falling is Not an Option and creator of Postural Retraining™, shares the science behind healthy balance and exercises to maintain or enhance your own healthy balance.

After decades practicing tai chi, George came to realize that the balance and stability principles of tai chi could be separated from the self-defense component. Instead, they can be used to create balance-specific exercises appropriate for anyone who can stand, take a step, and is prepared to challenge themselves.

During this weekend, he teaches a daily practice of 15 postures and practices and addresses questions such as:

• Why is balance on a single leg more stable than balance on two legs?

• How does a weighted stance relate to stability?

• What is the difference between a regular step and a tai chi step?

George Locker is creator of Postural Retraining™, a system of stationary and moving postures that enhance balance and stability. He is author of Falling Is Not An Option and A Science of Healthy Balance fallingbalanceexercise.com

Artist and visionary guide Flora Bowley believes creative expression, intuitive wisdom, and personal freedom are intricately connected and offer a soulful way back to our human aliveness.

If you're seeking to reignite your creative spark and nurture the parts of yourself that make you feel the most alive, this retreat offers a safe and encouraging space to connect to a deep well of creative practices, a loving community, and the remembrance that you were born to create

Through a soulful blend of hands-on intuitive art practices, gentle movement, free-form writing, breathwork, visualization, and community connection, you learn to:

• Find your creative courage

• Let go of perfectionism

• Drop into the present moment

• Nurture self-acceptance

Flora’s gentle approach to the creative process is perfect for anyone willing to show up with an open and curious heart. No previous experience necessary.

HOLOTROPIC BREATHWORK

Exploring the Potential of Expanded States of Consciousness

Stacia Butterfield Course 5805-020/Tuition $550 ($495 Members) LE

For thousands of years and across many cultures, non-ordinary states of consciousness have been used as a strategy for transformation and self-exploration—marking life’s major transitions, metabolizing grief, visioning new possibilities, and deepening one’s connection to self, community, and the natural world.

In this workshop, we gather in the rich field of community for an immersive experience and personal exploration of enhanced states of consciousness, using time-honored traditions that are simple, yet powerful. Our time together includes strategies for preparing, navigating, and integrating these experiences.

Holotropic Breathwork ®️ offers a language and structure for turning inward and working with deeply personal material as it emerges from one’s intrinsic intelligence. These unique states can offer us unmediated access to the self as a deep source of healing, insight, and evolutionary potential.

Open to beginner and experienced explorers alike.

Making Transformation Accessible

At Omega, we believe that learning and discovery are powerful agents of change—and they should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we offer scholarships and tiered pricing, bringing our mission to life, and building an inclusive learning community.

Scholarships

You’ll find full and partial scholarships for programs with some of our top teachers. For the most up-to-date information on scholarship opportunities, eligibility criteria, and links to applications, visit eOmega.org/scholarships or call 800.944.1001.

Tiered Pricing

Omega offers sliding-scale tuition for programs as part of our mission to offer accessible, holistic learning and build an inclusive, dynamic community. Look for the tiered pricing icon on select programs that indicates you can choose a rate that suits your ability to pay.

“Omega has become more than a retreat center for me; it’s been a sanctuary where stillness meets discovery, and where the whispers of my hear t find their voice…. It’s not just a place— it’s an invitation to become who you were always meant to be.”
