RHINEBECK, NY – Omega Institute, a leading destination for lifelong learning and personal growth, will once again host one of its most popular workshops, Meditation Party: Reckless Conviviality With Mindfulness Superfriends, October 24–26, 2025. Now in its third consecutive year, the 3-day gathering brings together best-selling authors, acclaimed teachers, and hundreds of participants for an energizing weekend of community and practice on Omega’s 250-acre Rhinebeck campus.
This year’s Meditation Party will feature journalist and 10% Happier author Dan Harris; meditation teacher and You Belong author Sebene Selassie; meditation teacher and journalist Jeff Warren, coauthor of Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics; and, for one day only, hip-hop artist and meditation teacher Born I (Ofosu Jones-Quartey), whose mantra “You Are Enough” has inspired audiences worldwide.
“Many people practice meditation alone, but there’s something powerful—and joyful—about doing it together,” said Carla Goldstein, president and CEO at Omega. “Meditation Party is a weekend where people can deepen their practice, try new approaches, and feel the power of meditating in community. This kind of experiential learning is at the heart of Omega’s mission, and also part of our long-standing commitment to mindfulness.”
Unlike a traditional silent retreat, Meditation Party is intentionally designed as a lively, communal experience. Participants can expect a mix of meditation sessions, movement, rest, and playful exploration, all aimed at helping beginners and seasoned practitioners alike deepen their practice both “on the cushion” and in everyday life.
On Saturday, October 25, Born I will lead a special sound bath experience, infusing the weekend with his unique blend of mindfulness and music.
As part of Omega’s Mindfulness Initiative, Meditation Party reflects the organization’s decades-long commitment to teaching practices that support awareness, resilience, and well-being. Beginning with the pioneering work of Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979, mindfulness has become an increasingly valued part of Omega’s offerings.
