Compassion is more than a personal virtue—it is a transformative practice that can reinvigorate our inner lives, deepen human connection, and strengthen our capacity to respond to the challenges of our time. As Omega looks toward its next 50 years, this landmark gathering explores compassion as a foundation for personal resilience, relational healing, and wise collective action— embodying the Global Compassion Coalition's mission.

You join with leading voices in contemplative practice, psychology, education, and social change for a weekend of inspiring dialogue, experiential learning, evidence-based practices, and meaningful community connection. You also experience practices led by the Monastics of Blue Cliff Monastery. Together, we create space for reflection and restoration, while exploring how compassion can help us meet this historic moment with greater clarity, courage, and humanity.
