I am non-meditatively psyched to get back to actual live interactions with other human beings, ie: YOU. Let’s hope we remember how to form words …
Think of this weekend retreat as a relaxed and practical distillation of what meditators have been learning for 3,000 years. There will be meditation, and a bit of movement, and some interpersonal connection. Also (bad) jokes.
Omega has released their new Covid safety protocols, the highlight of which is full vaccination required for all staff, faculty and attendants.
Here’s what to expect:
The plan is to explore a few of the core existential principles trained across all meditation techniques, delving into the dynamics behind mindfulness, loving-kindness, and choiceless awareness meditation. We tweak as we go, making small adjustments – dialing up the clarity, say, or backing off from too much effort, maybe mixing in a bit more care and self-compassion.
As we understand more about how the practice of meditation can work for our own peculiar nervous systems, we begin to be our own teacher. And then we pass it on, so the practice can find its unique expression in someone else.
This is how sanity becomes a social movement.
This retreat is appropriate for all experience levels, including absolute beginners.
Other Omega perks:
- Daily Open classes in Yoga, Meditation, Dance/Movement
- Access to the campus – Long Pond Lake (canoes and kayaks available), hiking trails, tennis courts
- Access to the Wellness Center (fee based services including massage and wellness treatments) and access to a free hot sauna room

Testimonials
“Jeff is a fantastic teacher: funny, empathetic, open-hearted, wise, and smart as a whip. The workshop was a game-changer for my meditation practice.”
“Jeff Warren is a wonderful teacher for those of us just beginning to get deeper into a meditation practice. I have no doubt he can support more experienced/seasoned mediators as well. I found him down to earth, easily able to relate to and a teacher I would be interested in taking a longer meditation retreat with. A really positive and welcoming experience for me.”
“It was a fantastic program that was able to reach people of many different levels of meditation experience. Jeff Warren uses humor and his own experiences to de-mystify meditation in a way that makes it accessible to anyone!”
“Jeff Warren did a fantastic job! He is an excellent speaker and teacher and I’d be thrilled to attend any program he offers in the future.”
