Founded in 1977, Omega Institute for Holistic Studies is the nation’s most trusted source for wellness and personal growth. As a nonprofit organization, Omega offers diverse and innovative educational experiences that inspire an integrated approach to personal and social change. Located on 195 acres in the beautiful Hudson Valley, Omega welcomes more than 20,000 people to its workshops, conferences, and retreats in Rhinebeck, New York and at exceptional locations around the world.

Personal transformation is the foundation for transformation in the world around us. Individual wellness, personal growth, and a healthy body, mind, and spirit help us make the world a better place to live and raise our families. To this end, Omega is also leading the way in creating a sustainable world.

As an environmental steward, Omega's commitment to sustainability includes recycling and conservation; supporting sustainable agriculture; increasing the use of clean, renewable energy; using green building materials and cleaning supplies; and creating and preserving habitat for native animals and plants. Omega's latest initiative is a state-of-the-art wastewater filtration system called the Eco Machine. The Eco Machine will be housed in what will be the Omega Center for Sustainable Living, an educational center where school children and university students, corporate and government officials, and Omega workshop participants can learn how to live more lightly on the earth.

Wellness
Omega's wellness workshops and retreats are renowned for offering people a way to develop a firm commitment to self-care and optimal health practices they can bring back home. At Omega, wellness is not something you just "do." It is a way of life that involves proper nutrition, exercise that fits your lifestyle, stress-reduction techniques, and social and environmental awareness.

Personal Growth
At Omega, personal growth, spiritual development, and environmental stewardship go hand-in-hand. This is a holistic approach, which is a way of seeing people, nature, and the world we live in as an evolving, interconnected web of life.

Body, Mind, and Spirit
We are each more than the sum of our parts. Our body, mind, and spirit make us an individual but also connect us to a larger community that exists all around us. At Omega we offer workshops and retreats that encourage the integration of our body, mind, and spirit and the opportunity to help each other and our planet.
