The Reset Retreat
February 8-11, 2024
Ojai, California
Hosted by Laurie Borrett
A relaxing long weekend of nourishing yoga, gut healing recipes, connection, and time in nature. Begin 2024 with a beautiful reset.
Ojai is 90 miles north of Los Angeles (100 minutes by car from LAX), 13 miles north of Ventura and 40 miles SE of Santa Barbara. It is only a 20 minute drive down to the beaches of the Pacific Ocean.
For hundreds of years, the area around Ojai has been a Chumash Indian spiritual ground. Today that tradition has been extended through many world famous philosophers (Annie Besant, Aldous Huxley, Krishnamurti), artists (Duchamp, Chagall, Beatrice Wood), awareness/spiritual teachers (Katie Byron, Gay and Katie Hendricks) to name just a few.
The valley’s unique east west orientation floods Ojai with a special light, accentuating its surrounding majestic mountain (most other USA valleys run north south). There are many citrus, avocado, and olive orchard farms thriving in its Mediterranean climate reminding one of Tuscany, Provence and parts of Spain.
​
This past year was my first visit to Ojai, and I knew immediately I had to go back. There is something captivating and magnetic about this special valley. I'm beyond excited to host my first ever, Reset Retreat in a place that is brimming with awakening energy. Come and join us for a weekend of community, yoga, wellness, nature, aligning routines/rituals with goals, and new perspectives for overall well being.
