Mindfulness meditation is a core practice at Omega. Learn more about practicing mindfulness through Omega's workshops and retreats.
What if paying attention could change not only your inner life, but the world around you?
At Omega, mindfulness is awareness in action. It begins with noticing the present moment and grows into resilience, clarity, and compassion. Our workshops bridge ancient practices and contemporary science, offering tools for emotional balance and meaningful engagement.
This is mindfulness as a source of courageous participation in the world, beginning exactly where you are.

Even if I’m teaching in an environment that doesn’t actively embrace the benefits of mindfulness, I can do it in my room, in whatever capacity I can manage.” — Susan Meyer, Mindfulness & Education Conference scholarship recipient
