Each winter, Omega offers programs at Blue Spirit Retreat in Nosara, Costa Rica, including workshops in yoga, dance, feng shui, chanting, and spiritual and psychological exploration.
Omega Costa Rica weeks 1 to 4 give you the flexibility to plan your own time. Workshops meet each morning and most afternoons (10:00 a.m.–Noon and 2:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m.). Sample from all the workshops, or focus on one or two teachers. Come for a week, or two, or three!
Weeks 5 to 7 give you the chance to study in depth with one teacher.
The Strategies for a Healthy Lifestyle Cleanse is an additional option each week.
