Awaken Your Best in 2022: From Getting Rest & Rejuvenation, to Healing Trauma, to Cultivating a Kindness Revolution: Ted Lasso Style, and More

RHINEBECK, NY– Omega Institute, a premier destination for lifelong learning in New York's Hudson Valley, reopens its Rhinebeck campus May 27th for 6 months of in-person workshops, conferences, retreats, and professional training opportunities led by world-renowned teachers such as Pema Chödrön, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Justin Michael Williams, Kate Tellers and The Moth, and many more.

“The arrival of spring brings with it the longed-for promise of a new campus season and opportunities to learn and practice those things that give us reason for hope–personally and together as a human family,” said Robert “Skip” Backus, chief executive officer at Omega. “Whether you join us online or in person in 2022, we invite you to explore the many ways Omega can help you expand your possibilities.”

Additionally, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Omega has expanded its digital offerings, which have grown significantly to include online access to popular workshops and many free resources, including conversations with top teachers, an award-winning podcast, the Omega Online Community, and more.
