2009 Annual Report

OMEGA A Model for Change Attendance at Omega Institute’s inspiring, educational programs remained strong, despite the economic downturn, as people turned to Omega for the tools and support needed to deal with life’s changes.

At Omega, we look at change holistically. No one issue or problem is disconnected from another. Since it seems it’s human nature to make big changes when confronted with big challenges, this year presented the chance for many people to move from an old paradigm of fear to one of creativity and sustainability. Omega has been helping create this shift since 1977. In July, Omega proudly celebrated one of its own creative and sustainable initiatives, the opening of the award-winning Omega Center for Sustainable Living (OCSL), a state-of-the- Participants continue art environmental education center and water reclamation facility (see page 2). The OCSL is a dynamic model of how to turn to Omega to interconnected we all are with the world around us, and help harness the winds will serve as the heart of Omega’s ongoing environmental initiatives. Other Omega initiatives flourished in 2009 as of change for their well. Our veteran’s program tripled to include 66 veterans; own renewal, and the we awarded 100 scholarships to the Women’s Institute annual conference, Women & Power: Connecting Across betterment of the world. Generations; and we hosted 600 participants from more than 31 nonprofit organizations without charge during our annual nonprofit Service Week. We know Omega’s continued growth during this challenging year is due in large part to the wisdom, meaning, and hope that our nearly 500 esteemed faculty offered in more than 350 programs. Our dedication to their teachings is deeper than ever, and we look forward to continuing to provide a safe and beautiful haven where people can gather together for inspiration and renewal in the face of changes big and small.

OMEGA A Model for Change | 1 Unveiling a Landmark Achievement In Green Building

“By working to meet the Living Building Challenge, the OCSL pushed the design envelope to allow this building to live in the sacred ecology that connects each of us to one another.” The Omega Center for Sustainable Living (OCSL), a state-of-the-art environmental education center and water reclamation facility, is expected to be one of the first buildings in the United States to receive the Living Building designation. —John Todd, ecological designer and developer of the Eco-Machine™ The opening of the OCSL on July 16, 2009, represents Omega’s more than 30-year commitment to modeling an integrated way of looking at the world and our place in it. More than 300 people attended the grand opening celebration of the OCSL. The ceremony included keynote remarks from Omega’s leadership as well as many notable speakers, including Majora Carter, founder of Sustainable South Bronx, John Todd, designer of the Eco Machine™, and Tara Sullivan, executive director of the Hudson-Fulton- Champlain Quadricentennial Commission. Tara Sullivan delivered a New York State Letter of Commendation from Governor Paterson, designating the OCSL a Quadricentennial Legacy Project, and commemorating the historic day. The OCSL is an exciting new addition to Omega’s landscape. It is both a representation of our commitment to the earth and the focus of programs that explore new ways of being in relationship with each other and our planet. A model of sustainable architecture, the OCSL is a pioneering project in the Living Building Challenge and is also on track to receive LEED Platinum certification. A $3.2 million capital campaign is underway to complete the funding of this visionary project. Celebrating Earth Day at the Omega Center for Sustainable Living (OCSL) On Earth Day 2009, more than 185 Omega staff joined together to help plant 9,000 native plant species in the OCSL’s constructed wetlands. The plants, including cattails and bulrushes, add a beautiful value to the landscape while their roots below the surface are an integral part of the Eco Machine, a water filtration system that is central to the OCSL's operations. This living system uses plants, bacteria, algae, snails, and fungi to recycle Omega’s wastewater (approximately 5 million gallons per year) into clean water that is used to recharge the local aquifer.
