Omega Institute for Holistic Studies
Omega Institute for Holistic Studies is a non-profit educational retreat center located in Rhinebeck, New York. Founded in 1977 by Elizabeth Lesser and Stephan Rechtschaffen, inspired by Sufi mystic, Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan and his ecumenical spirituality, today it offers classes to over 25,000 people a year, at the campus.〔
The institute's stated mission is to "provide hope and healing for individuals and society through innovative educational experiences that awaken the best in the human spirit". Omega’s workshops, conferences, and retreats aim to create dialogues on the integration of modern medicine and natural healing; connect science, spirituality, and creativity; and build the groundwork for new traditions and lifestyles.
==History==
In 1977, co-founders Stephan Rechtschaffen, author of ''Timeshifting,'' and Elizabeth Lesser, author of ''The Seeker’s Guide'' and ''New York Times'' best-selling ''Broken Open'', say they were inspired to create the Omega Institute by scholar and Eastern meditation teacher, Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan.〔Stephan Rechtschaffen, MD, ''Timeshifting: Creating More Time to Enjoy Your Life'' (New York: Main Street Books, 1997)〕〔Elizabeth Lesser. ''The Seeker's Guide: Making Your Life a Spiritual Adventure'' (New York: Villard, 1999).〕〔''New York Times,'' “(Bestsellers: Paperback Advice ),” ''New York Times Sunday Book Review'' (January 23, 2009).〕〔Elizabeth Lesser. ''Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow'' (New York: Villard, 2005).〕 The name “Omega” came from the teachings of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, a 20th-century French philosopher and Jesuit priest who used the term “Omega Point” to describe the peak of unity and integration toward which all life is evolving. First established while Lesser and Rechtschaffen were staying at New Lebanon Shaker Village, then in 1980 it found a new home at a land which once housed the Sholem Aleichem Folk Institute's Camp Boiberick, in the Hudson River Valley.〔Peter Applebome, “(Our Towns; The Fringe, Now Embraced By Main Street ),” ''New York Times''(February 28, 2007).〕
Omega Institute began its programming with several workshops, and now holds more than 300 workshops in Rhinebeck, New York City, Costa Rica, and California.〔Andrea Birnbaum. “Omega Rising,” ''Hudson Valley Chronogram'' (September 2007), 34–36.〕
