Healing Divides, Restoring Connection
Becoming Bridgebuilders in a Divided World
The Omega Institute | Rhinebeck, NY | June 5–7, 2026
In a time of heartbreaking division, polarization, and violence, join award-winning speaker, author, lawyer, and meditation expert Anu Gupta for an intimate weekend at the Omega Institute.
Together, we'll explore how ancient spiritual wisdom and modern neuroscience converge to help us understand and transform the mind virus of separation.
Through guided somatic practices, reflection, community dialogue, and joyful laughter, you’ll discover your primary identity not as the labels that divide us, but as human beings worthy of belonging.
Why Healing Divides, Restoring Connection?
What You’ll Gain
Through guided practices, reflection, and community dialogue, you'll learn to identify the root causes of bias and discover your primary identity not as the labels that divide us, but as human beings worthy of belonging.
Together, we'll put into practice the five science-backed PRISM tools—Perspective Taking, pRosocial Behavior, Individuation, Stereotype Replacement, and Mindfulness—proven to measurably reduce bias and restore connection.
This workshop is for anyone seeking to transform bias, deepen their capacity for connection, and contribute to healing in our fractured world.
