Omega Institute – The Power of Radical Imagination
I’ll be teaching at Omega Institute this spring. May 24-26, I’ll join Valerie June, Ayesha Ophelia, and Sarah Walko at Omega for our special retreat The Power of Radical Imagination. This three-day group experience in Rhinebeck, NY is designed to deepen your relationship with nature and cultivate positive change as we embody new practices through music, poetry, art, and mindfulness.
We had our first planning session yesterday and wow, this is going to be one for the books. The retreat is many months away, but with this all-star lineup I know spots will fill up quickly and I want to be sure you all have the info! Please let me know if you have any questions after reviewing the Omega site. It’s going to be a dreamy time of embodiment and exploration. I cannot wait to share such a unique and inspiring journey with those who can make it.
