Happiest Holidays!

I trust this finds you peacefully ensconced in the warmth of a safe place.

Florida is finally getting a dip in temperatures so the fire is already laid and I can’t wait to snuggle in with my people and the dog. 

It has been a busy year for our foundation. Here are a few highlights:

Omega Institute was able to open again further to support both our Women’s & Men’s Veterans yoga & meditation retreats. It was so wonderful to be back with all of our Omega family!

Mark your calendars for August 21 - 25, 2023 for the Men’s retreat and August 28 - September 1, 2023 for the Women’s retreat. I’ll send out a newsletter when the link to apply goes live.

In June we taught for a week at the National Veterans Summer Sports Clinic in San Diego, CA. We had an amazing week supporting the Veterans at La Jolla Shores who were learning to surf. Yes, we had to rest on the grass and meditate! We worked with an amazing organization called AmpSurf (https://ampsurf.org) who bring adaptive surfing to all abilities! Ask your PT’s about it! Hope to see you there.

We have been honored by the support of the Raymond James Valor Network. They have been instrumental in keeping us rolling through the year and expanding our network of who we are able to support. Thank you!

Our live Zooms are still going strong. Our afternoon iRest practice community is growing via the additions of students from our local VA programs & other national organizations sending students our way. I even convinced a dear friend, a Marine (Ret) to try our iRest recordings. It only took 10 years, but now he logs on every evening to go to sleep!

Our co-founder Annie Okerlin was on the VetArtSpan podcast, have listen.

Community Adaptive Yoga Class is back up and running. Hopefully we’ll be back to snack time in the New Year. Keep an eye on the website schedule and social media posts for upcoming dates.

We have supported 4,000 Zoom students this year. Students are also using the recordings at a higher rate this year too. By the end of the year we’ll have hit 5,000 plays for the end of the year!
