Acceptance of change. ✨ "Nearly four years ago, Acceptance of change. ✨ "Nearly four years ago, The Ojai Foundation (TOF) entered a new and challenging time in its history. The Thomas Fire, followed shortly thereafter by the Covid-19 pandemic, drastically altered the context within which TOF operates, revealing large and difficult decisions. For years now, we have been grappling with these issues, and though the particulars are unique, we know we are not alone in facing challenging times. This autumn, the TOF Board of Directors aligned on a decision that the form of TOF must change. Central to this change is a timely departure by summer 2022 from the beloved ridge that gave birth to TOF and has been our primary teacher for more than four decades. [...] Our ongoing exploration of how to best move forward, guided by vision and grounded in financial and other realities, has led us, time and again, away from trying to resurrect the form of TOF, and toward acceptance of change. Thus, this decision stems not from a sense of defeat or lack of love for what was, but from a recognition that the most generative and powerful act we can make in support of TOF is to evolve. In so doing, we believe the gifts held in the current form will be made available, and further seeded in the collective, to help carry the work forward." - Excerpt from the departure letter written by our Co-Directors and our Board of Directors. ✨ We invite you to read the full letter on our website where we also offer a FAQs page specifically regarding our departure. ✨ We wish you all who celebrate the New Year on January 1st a peaceful and joyful transition. ✨
