#ICYMI If you are not signed up to receive our e-n #ICYMI If you are not signed up to receive our e-news, you missed this important announcement from the Executive Stewardship Circle regarding upcoming events, as well as the planned reopening of The Ojai Foundation, which have all been postponed: Dear Ones, Less than two weeks ago, we stood on the Council House patio, gazing at the nearby hills and distant peaks, dusted with the green of spring and the pink of sunset. We were eagerly giving shape to the coming Spring Equinox Public Welcome–our first public welcoming since the Thomas Fire in December 2017. As we all know, the next days brought news of a mysterious health threat that we have since all come to know as the Coronavirus. Small and far away at first, the last days have offered a profound reminder that ‘far away’ is just over the next hill; we are one world. In keeping with the advice offered by the responsible health agencies and institutions, and with our deep care for you and the members of our community, we have chosen to postpone our planned public return to the land, both for the public welcome and also for public visiting hours. This also includes a cancellation of our scheduled day of service. After more than two years of momentum, this is an unforeseen setback, as we were so looking forward to our collective return, complete with a walk on the land, a shared meal, a council under the beloved Teaching Tree, and more. Nevertheless, we know it is important to continue exercising patience, and to do our part to support the well-being of the whole. In the meantime, we will keep you all posted, and look for a time again to welcome the public to the land. We hope that time will be soon. Please watch your inbox and our website for news of our future plan. Until that time, please be safe and care-filled and we will continue to look forward to the coming opportunity to celebrate our collective return to the land. With gratitude, The Executive Stewardship Circle Brendan Clarke & Sharon Shay Sloan, Co-Directors David Bryan & Laura Whitney, Board Co-Chairs To sign up to receive e-news, please visit the link in our bio.

#ICYMI If you didn't receive our February e-newsle #ICYMI If you didn't receive our February e-newsletter last week, you missed our announcement introducing Ben Reader, our Educational Land Steward: Ben joined the team at The Ojai Foundation for the winter and spring to help with special projects. For the last six years he has worked with the National Outdoor Leadership School as a guide and educator, and also has a background in tree care, natural building, and permaculture. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Hello TOF Community, It is an honor to work at The Ojai Foundation and I am grateful to spend time working on the trees in recovery from the Thomas Fire. The beauty and stillness of land that has been deeply cared for and loved over the generations continues to guide and inform my understanding of stewardship and care-taking for place - a reciprocal relationship that is expanding my awareness and appreciation for interconnectedness of living systems. I am also grateful to work with a community of people who honor the land and all its inhabitants in such respect and reverence, as well as the opportunity to live and practice council in the workplace. For me, The Ojai Foundation offers refuge, sanctuary, and an invitation to slow down in these fast-paced and uncertain times. Gratitude to the many hands and hearts who have participated in creating this special place!"
