Ojai, CA Wellness Weekend
Serene Ojai Ranch: Rustic Luxury Farmhouse Retreat
with Katie Schiffgen
August 7-10, 2025
Your Charming California Farmhouse Awaits You….
Enjoying 110 acres along the foothills of the Topatopa Mountains, this secluded Spanish-style ranch is a special gem in the Ojai Valley. There is limitless space to wander, connect with nature, and enjoy the laid-back Ojai lifestyle. In celebration of its beautiful surroundings, this entire estate is serviced by its own well and runs on solar power. Come relax in the tranquil peace of your rustic, yet luxurious, farmhouse retreat for the weekend!
Ojai Farmhouse Retreat:
With your fresh cup of coffee, start your morning by meditating amongst the fruit trees and fresh mountain air. Afterward, join the group in the kitchen's cozy breakfast nook, where soaring mountain views will inspire an exciting day. The ultra-spacious, 20-foot ceiling living room is a great place to enjoy a good book or to sip wine from a local vineyard while you enjoy the sunset.
If you’re looking for adventure and excitement, set out on a hike starting at the nearby trailhead of Santa Paula Canyon, where your trek will unveil breathtaking waterfalls and the famous "punchbowls." After your journey, head to downtown Ojai and embrace their village-like city center's organic, artistic, and locally-owned ethos. Explore eclectic galleries, the Museum of History and Art, and shops selling intricate handcrafts. So much to do, so little time!
The Beach:
The charming city of Ojai is only about a 20-30 minute drive to the coast, which means visiting the beach is an easy afternoon activity. We will be taking a day-trip to the beach as a group for those interested on either Friday or Saturday afternoon after morning yoga.
