DEAR FRIENDS, The old adage that time flies when you are having fun is true. I’ve been at Omega for longer than I care to admit sometimes (the better part of four decades) and in that time I've seen a lot of changes. But what remains, the core principle that draws us to Omega—our concern for each other and the earth—is as strong and as relevant as ever. As we’ve grown into a diverse and caring community of millions of learners from around the globe, so too has our capacity to understand our interdependence.
“The core principle that draws us to Omega — our concern for each other and the earth — is as strong and as relevant as ever.” — ROBERT "SKIP" BACKUS
As the world gets more complex and our challenges bigger, our communities become more important to our well-being and our connectedness. That is why we are so grateful for, and inspired by, those of you who choose to be a part of the Omega community, whether that means joining us on our campus in Rhinebeck, New York, taking part in an online program, becoming an Omega Member, or some combination of them all. Friends, this is my last letter to you in an Omega program catalog as CEO. After serving in this role for the past 18 years, I’ve decided it’s time for me to continue my service to Omega in a different capacity. We'll have more details about that at a later date, but I’m looking forward to my next chapter and to remaining deeply supportive of and supported by the incredible Omega community that is such an important part of my life. Whether you’re interested in learning something new, finding time for deep rest and relaxation, or—like me—exploring what life’s next chapter will bring, there’s a place for you to thrive in the Omega community. I look forward to seeing you on campus! Warmly,
Robert "Skip" Backus Chief Executive Officer
P.S. In response to the financial impact of the pandemic and rising inflation, our rates are now lower than they were pre-pandemic. Our goal is to help keep Omega accessible—
OMEGA 2022
while still maintaining the all-inclusive Omega experience we're known for, from nourishing food, to open classes, to evening entertainment and campus amenities.
Our Commitment We believe the well-being of every individual is deeply connected to the well-being of all living things, and we are committed to helping people build their capacity to effect change in an interconnected world. Together there is no limit to the ripple effect we can create.
Awaken Your Best When you come to Omega’s campus, or visit online, you join tens of thousands of people who are interested in learning new things, sharing insights, and awakening the best in themselves and their communities. As you explore the workshops highlighted in this brochure, and additional ones on our website, you’ll find educational opportunities for both personal inner work and making meaningful change in the world. Everything we curate for your Omega experience–from the teachers selected, to the food served, to the preservation of the natural habitat– allows us to teach, model, and act in alignment with our aspirations. We call this framework Omega’s integrated approach to personal growth and social change. We invite you to awaken your best with Omega, and bring home the tools you gather here to support self-care and to improve the lives of others.

Omega is a nonprofit, donor-supported, educational organization at the forefront of holistic studies. Your philanthropy helps bring Omega to the widest possible circle and secures a thriving future for Omega and our global, interconnected learning community.

Gather with Indigenous leaders and activists to create spirit-based change rooted in connection with each other and the Earth. We have become separate from each other and the natural world: Our social systems are under extraordinary stress and our planet is facing great peril. It is a time that calls for new thinking and an expanded perspective with deep connection to Spirit. This weekend conference, sponsored by the Omega Center for Sustainable Living (OCSL), is an opportunity to enter into deep listening and community with Indigenous leaders and activists—who speak from rooted traditions and an authentic and inherent bond with the land—to gain insight into how we might approach necessary change. We invite you to immerse yourself in the broad, interconnected perspective of wisdom traditions, and explore your relationship with the Earth and your communities.
