The Ojai Foundation

The Ojai Foundation is a 36-acre educational nonprofit located in the Upper Ojai Valley. For over 40 years, our land and programs have been a beacon for youth and adults seeking ways to deepen relationship with self, each other, and the natural world. Council, the practice of listening and speaking from the heart, is our foundational offering and core to all we do.

On December 5, 2017, the Thomas Fire raged through The Ojai Foundation land taking over 24 structures, including our staff residence, two program kitchens and all of our overnight hermitages.

We have now launched our emergency fire recovery campaign: RECOVER & REIMAGINE. Campaign goal: $600,000 raised by May 1. Click HERE to learn more

This new website is in development to serve this time of transition and reimagining. We thank you for your patience as we improve navigation and add content and features in the coming months. Please check back regularly and join our mailing list for ongoing events, and ways to support and stay connected.

THE LAND SANCTUARY IS CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR AN UNDETERMINED PERIOD TO ATTEND TO RECOVERY AND RENEWAL.
