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.
Mind, Body and Spirit
We are each more than the sum of our parts. Our mind, body 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.
