"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
For 30 years, through our workshops and retreats, Omega has been a pioneer in exploring, teaching, and embracing new ideas. We have also had another mission: to create a peaceful oasis in a hurried world. To this end, we have made our campus a healing center, a place where you can relax, rejuvenate, and feel at home in the midst of nature's bounty and a community of warm, caring people.
The beauty of our gardens, lake, and wooded trails, the friendly staff, the wonderful food, and the facilities at our Wellness Center all support what people come to Omega to learn. Most of all, it is the sincerity and openness of everyone here that make Omega a place where you can find within yourself the courage to become a happier, healthier, and more spirited person.
Omega's lakeside campus is set on 195 acres of rolling hills and woodlands in the Hudson River Valley, just two hours north of New York City. The Hudson Valley is rich in history, cultural vitality, and natural beauty—a colorful mosaic of forests, farmlands, lovely old towns, and the mighty Hudson River.
