Prepare yourselves for a unique retreat at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York. A beautiful location offers enlightening workshops in areas such as cooking, trapezing skills, journaling, songwriting, and various types of empowering and balancing.
Health and healing are top priorities at the Omega Institute, where holistic health opportunities are offered in every dimension. From evening yoga and meditation class to Wellness Vacations to Energy Medicine Trainings. Workshops are led by some of the world's greatest healers who blend their unique perspectives with the holistic philosophy of the institute. Personal growth is encouraged at every step along the way.
The body is a sacred vessel, and the programs at the Omega Institute honor that creed. Food is healthy (mostly vegetarian and vegan) and abundant. Bodywork is focused on healing of the body, mind, and spirit. The Wellness Center at the Omega Institute offers massages and facials to release tension in the body and soul. Spiritual traditions from all faiths and all parts of the world are utilized and guests will gain appreciation and awareness of the depth of the human experience.
Once an active summer camp, the grounds at the Omega Institute are filled with all the outdoorsy amenities you'll need for a meditative, active, and centering experience. There are trees and grass as well as a lake and free use of kayaks and canoes. There's also a sauna. (Note that water and sauna activities are clothing-optional.) Accommodations range from camping to dorm-style rooms to private cabins.
What you will walk away with from the Omega Institute is a fresh attitude toward "real life"—the balance that you can achieve, the beauty that surrounds you, and the kind people who populate the four corners of our Earth. Through intense soul-searching, a dip in the lake, or an invigorating massage, you'll find a stirring deep within yourself, an awakening—you'll find yourself closer to wisdom, serenity, and peace.
