Individual and Family Retreats

The Ojai Foundation offers a beautiful place to retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life. We offer our dwellings for personal or family retreats when space is available. While there are many occasions when our Land is indeed a tranquil haven of nature, we also serve groups of youth and adults attending scheduled programs. When you contact us to see about arranging a retreat, we will let you know whether the time you’ve chosen is likely to be quiet or active. There could be no programs at all, or there could be a lively group of youth in attendance. We are happy to inform you of current activities on our Land, but understand that groups can be added or canceled at any time.

Accommodations

Sleeping facilities are simple and rustic, in the style of a private camp in a semi-wilderness setting, with shared bathhouses, hot showers and flush toilets. We have yurts, domes and tent sites.

Our geodesic domes have fabric walls, wooden plank flooring, zipper-flap entry doors and are roughly15 feet in diameter. Our yurts are more home-like, with thicker walls, wooden plank flooring and a conventional swinging wooden door. You can stand up in both and all structures have solar-powered 12-volt lighting. All yurts and most domes include futon beds on frames. Most of our structures are designed for shared accommodation, although a few are best suited for couples or singles.

In addition to yurts, domes and tent sites our facilities include two community vegetarian kitchens, our spacious and versatile Council House, indoor and outdoor meeting spaces, sweat ceremony area, tipi, gardens, a labyrinth and two outdoor hearths (available for additional fee.)

You may choose a yurt, a dome or a tent site (must bring your own tent). Our bathhouses with showers and our vegetarian kitchen are available to you, as well as daily morning meditation. We ask that you bring your own bedding.
