Hippocrates referred to walking as humanity's best medicine, and contemporary research confirms this. In this workshop for anyone of any age who can walk unassisted, you learn to receive greater benefit in every step.

Through step-by-step instruction, you discover how to walk in a way that positively changes you physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Walking in the beautiful countryside around Omega, you experience more comfort, ease, vitality, and power as you learn to:

  • Connect with your animal body and walk in accordance with your natural design
  • Release unnecessary tension and discover how to be simultaneously soft and strong, relaxed and ready, calm and alert
  • Practice inspirational walking methods to fuel imagination and creativity
  • Minimize effort while maximizing awareness

Leave with practical skills to improve your gait in a way that enlivens your consciousness, coordinates your breathing, and connects you more deeply to the earth under your feet.

Family Week

There is something for everyone at Family Week.

  • Workshops for the grownups that teach skills or help you relax or give you a renewed sense of purpose. The schedule is more flexible than at other times so that the most important people in the world—parents—can get a well-deserved rest.
  • And for the kids there are camps that engage their body, mind, and spirit, get them outside on our beautiful campus, help them make friends, and instill the values of cooperation, compassion, and joyful living.

Adult Workshops meet each morning from 9:30 a.m.–Noon, and Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday from 2:30 p.m.–5:00 p.m. On Thursday afternoon from 2:30 p.m.–5:00 p.m., take time off to relax or enjoy a Dabblers Delights—classes in music, dance, wellness, yoga, and more, led by workshop teachers and special guests.

Kids Camps meet every morning from 9:00 a.m.–Noon, and every afternoon from 2:30 p.m.–5:00 p.m.

In the evenings, everyone gathers for family entertainment.

Please note: If you don't have children you may participate in this program, but be advised almost 200 children are on campus, and services and schedules are geared for children and families.
