The Spiritual Magic of Ojai!

 

The Chumash Indians were the first settlers of the Ojai

Mountain Valley. They believed the land was sacred, and

they called it "Ahwa'y" which means Valley of the Moon,

a reference to their deep connection with Mother Earth.

 

Ojai is California's very own spiritual Mecca. Nestled

serenely in a verdant mountain valley, only 14 miles

from the PacificOcean, Ojai has been a spiritual magnet

for centuries. It is blessed with exquisite natural beauty

and a deep spiritual ambiance. ​

​

Why is Ojai so special?

​

Practitioners in the healing arts, and master teachers such as the great Indian mystic Juddu Krishnamurti are drawn to Ojai. He experienced such a profound spiritual epiphany that he made Ojai his sanctuary and his home. Krishnamurti referred to Ojai as "The magnetic center of Earth where people come to reach their spiritual centers in themselves."

 

World-renowned avatar Meher Baba was also drawn to live in "Shangri-Li." The Meher Mount Spiritual Center overlooks the beautiful Ojai Valley on the north, the Pacific Ocean to the southwest and the Topa Topa Bluffs in the northeast

 

Why are so many people drawn to Ojai?
