The Ojai Foundation

Loved this place. It’s kind of pricey, but it’s a non-​profit, so I can dig that. Good energy and good people there. The food was amazing too. We had Colleen. She was such a delight and her food was delicious. All of it was organic and locally grown.
My only complaint is that the yurts could be cleaner. Ours had spiders and dust everywhere. I feel like they should at least capture and release the spiders before people settle in. Especially for what we’re paying.
I would definitely come back! Thanks, TOF!

I am participating in the Foundation’s 2015 Work Retreat, lead by Brooke and Leif.
Wow! what an experience it has been. The land is magical, the community embraces, and the foundation is serving.
For the body, the work retreat provided physical activities like, making clay from the earth which is then used to make a cobb wall. Allowing each person to manifest and cultivate moving meditation, team work, and physical endurance.
For the mind, the land provides space with nature to manifest an awareness with Mother Earth’s creations. Silence is valued, allowed, and appreciated by the community. Hidden areas that overlook the breathtaking valley allow for meditation and peace.
For the spirit, I was able to let go. Allowing my authentic spirit to run free from judgement, express with love, and forgive with grace. Laughter has filled my heart here. The community is PURE LOVE and ACCEPTANCE.
My time here has been magical, I do not want it to end. I have learned more than what the program had to offer: permaculture and sustainable living (which already exceeded my expectations). I have shared and absorbed the reflections in others that mirrored myself. Space in my heart and soul has been created to fulfill with things that serve me and the world.
The traditions to which the foundation was built are shared, respected, and continue for generations.
I fell in love the moment I first arrived. The love for this place continues to grow. I cannot wait for my next visit.
Thank you Ojai Foundation for the land, healing, and teachings that are shared with everyone that comes to visit.
Om Shanti

I attended an amazing retreat at the Ojai Foundation, staying in a yurt, communing with nature, and having an overall awesome time. I would definitely recommend the facility!

Yes.

I have experienced many programs and retreats at The Ojai Foundation and always had an amazing experience. I love staying in the yurts and domes in the oak groves in the mountains near Ojai. The vegetarian food cooked on site was always outstanding. I always leave a program there felling refreshed and renewed!

I had a very surreal experience at the Ojai Foundation for a grad night party. There was such an odd array of events and locations. You can roam the winding paths in the hills and come upon the large buddha statue, sit under the story tree or listen to native american story telling in a yurt. They sort of have the fake spiritual Ojai thing going on in that the «Native American» they have doing their story telling is only very slightly Native American. BUt it was fun, and if you’re into meditation type things, I’m sure you’ll feel very at home here.

The Ojai Foundation offers the awesome experience of visiting beautiful Ojai, staying in a yurt or dome in a rustic setting, enjoying vegetarian cooking, and experiencing a Native American sweat lodge. You can participate in a workshop or event, get a group rental, be a volunteer or intern, or choose their work-​study program.
