SAVE THE DATE! Buddhist Summer Camp at Omega Institute


Remember summer camp—the sense of discovery, new friends, fresh country air, and nights under the stars? We’re bringing that spirit to a long weekend of Buddhist-inspired practice.

Think less “strict retreat” and more “come as you are”—a relaxed space for meditation, meaningful conversations, and a splash of camp-style fun.

Josh Korda and Kathy Cherry weave timeless Buddhist teachings with contemporary psychological tools for self-understanding and nervous-system resilience, offering practical ways to bring mindfulness, compassion, and embodied awareness into daily life.

Expect guided meditations, contemplative and somatic practices, breathwork, silly games, and campfire-style storytelling—plus time to wander in the woods, rest in the sun, and notice how awareness shows up everywhere: in laughter, in silence, in connection.

Whether you’re new or seasoned, if you’re ready to unplug, ignore your inbox, and reconnect with spaciousness and wonder, this retreat is for you.
