This vibrant energy of the collective reaches powerfully into the future. It is something to be experienced and stays with you long after you leave campus.

Being Human Takes Practice

A Meditation Retreat for Open-Minded Explorers & Fidgety Skeptics

JEFF WARREN Tuition $425 ($380 Members)

What does meditation teach us about being human? It teaches us about resistance and overthinking, about humor and mercy, about healing stuck emotions and expanding stuck views. All this and more happens when we sit and get quiet. It also happens when we sit and don’t get quiet.

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 experiences, insights, and challenges.

Any experience can happen on the cushion. The goal is to return home with an understanding of why you meditate, and a clear feeling for your own strange, beautiful practice.

Jeff Warren, a journalist and meditation instructor celebrated for his accessible style of teaching, is coauthor of the New York Times best seller Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics

Join Jimmie Dale Gilmore in a workshop exploring the craft of songwriting as a vehicle for cultivating mindfulness, insight, and communication skills. And especially just for fun.

Tuition $345 ($310 Members)

Guided by Ric Weinman, work with meditations intended to bring 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 as “self” and awaken into a deeper reality.

Rest, Restore & Remember

A 5-Day Yoga Nidra Retreat

JOHN VOSLER

Tuition $510 ($460 Members)

The ancient people of Mexico called poems “flower songs” and held both poets and poetry as sacred. Stories are powerful medicine. Join Robyn Moreno for a healing weekend of storytelling, sisterhood, and joy.

During this heart-opening weekend, we explore storytelling through movement, meditation, sacred circles, journaling, connecting to nature, and ritual. Together, we practice rewriting our stories as soul retrieval—authoring new narratives rooted in wholeness and joy so that we can share our magic with the world.

This workshop is designed for those who identify as women and are being called to heal, lead, and grow.

Robyn Moreno is a curanderismo practitioner, author, Latina leader, Emmy-nominated TV host, and host of the podcast Get Rooted with Robyn Moreno

There is a place within you that is already whole, untouched by effort, beyond fixing, waiting to be remembered. In the quiet woods of the Hudson Valley, where Omega’s forested paths wind through morning mist, you are invited home to yourself.

We’ll move the body with intention, then rest in the sacred stillness of yoga nidra—a practice that dissolves tension, clears the mind, and reveals the peace beneath all doing.

Through presence—not effort—you release old patterns and rest into the steady ground of being within you.

Drawing from iRest, the Integrative Amrit Method, and other lineages, this retreat is a chance to pause deeply, surrounded by a like-hearted community.

John Vosler, a senior teacher at the Amrit Yoga Institute, leads yoga nidra teacher certification programs and is an Integrative Restoration Institute Certified iRest teacher.

Mary Magdalene Revealed

MEGGAN WATTERSON

Tuition $435 ($390 Members)

The Gospel of Mary reveals a transformational power that exists within all of us. Her gospel and other banned scripture challenged the patriarchal structure of power in the first century.

To find this transformational power, all we need to do is turn inward, says Meggan Watterson—to be still and acquire a form of spiritual perception Mary’s gospel refers to as “the eye of the heart.” This allows us to see past the ego of our own lives to what’s more real, lasting, infinite, and already here, within.

Through lecture, lively discussion, and practice of the soul-voice meditation, we discover the secret teachings Christ gave to Mary and why they’re radical, even for today.

Healing the Story of Separation

CHARLES EISENSTEIN Tuition $125 ($110 Members)

The mythology of civilization is changing from a story of separation to one of interconnection, interdependence, and interbeing, says Charles Eisenstein. The stories we tell are not just stories— they are a way of seeing and thinking.

In this gathering, we use modalities of word, trance, ceremony, and storytelling to welcome a new story into deeper chambers of consciousness. By gathering with others, we more easily know the story of interbeing to be true.

Explore how personal and collective narratives shape perception, identity, and relationship. Through lectures, meditations, and more, you learn to recognize the unconscious stories of separation that influence your life and begin to inhabit stories of interconnection.

This Omega retreat fee is $125. Charles does not receive payment from Omega for this retreat. Instead, he invites participants to self-determine their tuition and contribute directly to him during the event. More details will be made available at the retreat.

Charles Eisenstein is a teacher, public speaker, countercultural philosopher, and author of The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible and The Ascent of Humanity.
