Whether you’re new to Omega or have been part of the community for years, there’s a place for you here.
DEAR FRIENDS, Every day I’m asked, “Is the Omega campus opening this year?” My answer is an enthusiastic, “Yes!” Throughout the challenges of the past year, I’ve looked forward with great anticipation to the energy and the sense of community that participants, teachers, and staff bring to our Rhinebeck, New York, campus. The wonders of the annual campus reawakening is one of the things that’s kept me at Omega for almost 40 years, along with the sense of hope and purpose that Omega offers, and a feeling of belonging, where everyone can find their place. I invite you to find your place at Omega. Your place may be in a workshop designed to foster joy or help you heal from grief, or at a conference that builds resilience and inspires the change that each of us has a role in advancing. As you look through the many offerings in this brochure, you may find your place on our reopened campus, where we’ve taken special precautions to ensure your health and safety. Or, you may find your place online, and in the community of Omega Members, who receive year-round access to exciting new teachers and a wide variety of programs and support. By participating in our programs, staying on our campus, and even making purchases in the Wellness Center, Café, and Store, you are supporting our nonprofit work, and joining our growing, global community that is committed to awakening the best in the human spirit. Whether you’re new to Omega or have been part of the community for years, there’s a place for you here. I hope to see you on campus or online,
Robert “Skip” Backus Chief Executive Officer P.S. We’re mailing out brochures in place of our iconic catalog this year. To learn about all of our upcoming programs, subscribe to our email list at eOmega.org/signup eOmega.org/signup..

We used online technology to increase access to retreats, workshops, and timely conversations. We selected topics designed to support good health, emotional well-being, and connected communities. We worked hard to be there for you because you were there for us. The generosity of so many Omega Members has made it possible for us to develop exciting new ways to bring people the tools, inspiration, and community support to emerge from the pandemic with collective strength to create a world that truly awakens the best in the human spirit. We invite you to become an Omega Member today. With a monthly gift of $10 (or more!) you are helping us to provide critical education and connection for a growing global audience.
