Visit for a weekend retreat of rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation. Enjoy Omega's facilities, programs, and workshops - which include massage, sauna, yoga, meditation, tai chi, trail walks, herb and flower identification, and much more.

Since its inception in 1977, Omega has become the largest holistic learning center in the nation. Every year, more than 20,000 people attend workshops, retreats, and conferences on the institute's 195-acre campus set in the countryside of Rhinebeck, New York (just 1 1/2 hours outside of New York City.)



Omega's mission of open-mindedness remains the same. It is not aligned with any particular healing method or spiritual tradition, and its programs feature all of the world's wisdom traditions. The institute is committed to offering people an opportunity to find their own path to better health and happiness.






"Omega gives a glimpse of what a community could be. It is a human-sized place that provides autonomy, diversity, and safety. People stop hurrying and talk to one another. They look at the stars and listen to the wind in the trees."
- Mary Pipher, author, Reviving Ophelia.
