Exploring Ojai: Arts, hiking, funky shopping and travel tips for this hip California town
From Los Angeles, Ojai, Calif., is an easy road trip of 80 miles, but it feels like an eternity away from the hustle and bustle. Nestled among the mountains and orange groves, the peaceful mountain town of Ojai is a true melting pot for artists, musicians and outdoor enthusiasts.
Things to Do
Grab some coffee from Ojai Coffee Roasting Company to get the pep for your day, and stroll the town to check out the local art culture. Ojai is an arts town; there's even space in the city hall where a rotating art exhibit features the work of local artists. Over at The Ojai Art Center, which holds the distinction of being the longest continuously operated multi-disciplinary art center in the United States, you'll find exhibitions, art workshops and theater performances. Wander down Ojai's side sreets to explore the studios of working artists; many of them will open their studios upon request. The Ojai Studio Artists non-profit organization hosts a studio tour in the fall, but can also be a wonderful source for getting closer to the town's art scene.
Besides the arts scene, Ojai is known for its many beautiful parks, and in the middle of it all is Libbey Park. Located in the center of town, Libbey Park is host to many of the city's cultural events, including the Ojai Music Festival, an event with a unique approach that rotates musical directors and a mix of classic and contemporary music.

Ojai's valley location, surrounded by mountains, means amazing hiking trails with gorgeous mountain views and ample opportunities to encounter wildlife. Some of the trails start right in downtown, and there are trails of all difficulty, whether you're seeking a family hike or a quad-burning mountain climb. For a relatively quick excursion that offers easy access to great overlook views of the city, head to the Shelf Road Trail.
All of the hiking is sure to build an appetite, though, so renew your energy with tapas at Azu or a meal at The Garden Terrace. Unsure where to eat? Take an Ojai food tour and you'll find yourself in the kitchens and talking to local chefs and culinary masters.
After lunch, browse the downtown shopping for a bit of Ojai to take home. Most of Ojai's shops and boutiques are located in and around the main shopping arcade right in the center of town. Inside these boutiques, like jewelry maker Love Heals, the focus is on artisan-style quality and uniqueness. You'll find that same sense of curated, quality goods at Rains of Ojai. A fixture in the town since 1914, Rains is filled with kitchen, home and garden accessories, clothing and gifts.
After a day of exploring, shopping and hiking, the luxurious four-hand massages and relaxing yoga classes at Ojai Valley Inn and Spa are a much-deserved treat. Ojai is an active town, and there are plenty of recreational options on this 220-acre luxury resort, including golf and tennis, Pilates workouts, swimming, horseback riding and hiking, art classes and even a camp for any children in the party.
Lodging and Accommodations
Besides the Ojai Valley Inn and Spa, which has a number of luxury penthouses in addition to its 308 rooms and suites, Ojai's hotels and lodging options tend to favor smaller, boutique and independently-owned inns and bed-and-breakfast establishments. You'll find even more options if you are willing to spend the night in the nearby (and larger) towns of Ventura and Oxnard, Calif., both of which are on the Pacific coast.

Snow in Ojai, California
This is the first snow of the year in Ojai. This was shot the day after it snowed on November 22, 2013. It actually snowed on November 21, 2013. This footage was shot on Gridly Trail, just about 5 miles up from the city of Ojai. I was mountain biking in Ojai on this day, with my Kona Process.
Mt Shasta Meditation, Panther Meadows, CA
My mother experienced a very intense and clear vision of Mt. Shasta when I was 13 years old in Ojai, California. During August of 1968, we journeyed on a spiritual quest to go to Mt. Shasta as she felt called to go there. I remember passing through San Francisco during the Haight-Ashbury days when we visited my grandparents. Finally we made it to Mt. Shasta and while there, the hippies were everywhere skinny dipping in the mountain streams and walking around naked everywhere else in the Panther Meadows area at the treeline. The whole experience was remarkable. While there, my mother experienced another one of her visions and saw a column of light descend from the sky. It is not a pestilence of people, it is a pestilence of sane logical mentation which must be in terms of real world psychology and not of the world of politics and, in general, involutionary lines of cause and effect. Everything, including all of the tabloid nonsense about UFOs, global warming, etc. is amplified and accelerated by increasing cosmic tension, and then only self-remembering can help. It is all agenda! Agenda communication! UFOs are not what people IMAGINE!! Global warming is not what people think it is. From this point of view, and from the point of view of the fourth way, as well as of C.G. Jung who discovered the truth of UFOs as nothing more than hysteria, IT IS ALL IMAGINATION AND FANTASY! But because people are lazy and are always looking for entertain- ment to distract attention from their own miserable ordinary abnormal lives, the tendency is to fall into a vortex of mass neurosis and fantasy for want of something in the depths, behind the shadows, but do not know what. There are many on these lists who do not have a very high view of America and do not designate anyone as an Initiate on the basis of nationality, but on the basis of spiritual maturity as though this was something apart from the spiritual maturity of a nation, or of the world, and find this difficult to understand. There exists the view that the founding fathers founded the United States on masonic principles and that liberty, equality and fraternity are masonic ideals, etc. Things are not as they appear to us on the surface and according to how history is written. Sometimes I will look into a photograph that is supposedly, or allegedly, a UFO and say to myself: Wow! It actually looks the shape of an F-117! You can actually see in it the shape of Superman with his cape flowing behind him and his arms stretched out in front! JOSHUA TREE It happened to me in the high desert of Joshua Tree northeast of Los Angeles. It was an event more real than real. Something came to me and a friend of mine that night, namely, Larry Ahoon, although his personal experience of the event was different than mine. What he was prepared to witness is what he experienced. Mine was intensely more dramatic and I saw before me and all around the Cosmic Christ Presence which coincided with the opening of a door into a Great Sea of Light. AN OPEN BOOK An open book appeared before me as though I were standing before a podium and I saw myself dressed in a white robe.

Panther Meadows, Mt Shasta, CA
My mother experienced a very
intense and clear vision of Mt.
Shasta when I was 13 years old
in Ojai, California. During
August of 1968, we journeyed
on a spiritual quest to go to
Mt. Shasta as she felt called
to go there. I remember passing
through San Francisco during
the Haight-Ashbury days when
we visited my grandparents.
Finally we made it to Mt. Shasta
and while there, the hippies were
everywhere skinny dipping in the
mountain streams and walking around
naked everywhere else in the Panther
Meadows area at the treeline. The
whole experience was remarkable.
While there, my mother experienced
another one of her visions and saw a
column of light descend from the sky.
It is not a pestilence of
people, it is a pestilence
of sane logical mentation
which must be in terms of
real world psychology and
not of the world of
politics and, in general,
involutionary lines of
cause and effect.
Everything, including
all of the tabloid nonsense
about UFOs, global warming,
etc. is amplified and accelerated
by increasing cosmic tension, and
then only self-remembering can
help.
It is all agenda!
Agenda communication!
UFOs are not what people
IMAGINE!!
Global warming is not what
people think it is.
From this point of view, and
from the point of view of the
fourth way, as well as of C.G.
Jung who discovered the truth
of UFOs as nothing more than
hysteria, IT IS ALL IMAGINATION
AND FANTASY!
But because people are lazy and
are always looking for entertain-
ment to distract attention from
their own miserable ordinary
abnormal lives, the tendency
is to fall into a vortex of
mass neurosis and fantasy for
want of something in the depths,
behind the shadows, but do not
know what.
There are many on these lists
who do not have a very high view
of America and do not designate
anyone as an Initiate on the basis
of nationality, but on the basis
of spiritual maturity as though
this was something apart from the
spiritual maturity of a nation, or
of the world, and find this
difficult to understand.
There exists the view that
the founding fathers founded
the United States on masonic
principles and that liberty,
equality and fraternity are
masonic ideals, etc.
Things are not as they appear
to us on the surface and according
to how history is written. Sometimes
I will look into a photograph that
is supposedly, or allegedly, a UFO
and say to myself:
Wow! It actually looks the shape
of an F-117! You can actually see
in it the shape of Superman with
his cape flowing behind him and
his arms stretched out in front!
JOSHUA TREE
It happened to me in the high
desert of Joshua Tree northeast
of Los Angeles. It was an event
more real than real. Something
came to me and a friend of mine
that night, namely, Larry Ahoon,
although his personal experience
of the event was different than
mine. What he was prepared to
witness is what he experienced.
Mine was intensely more dramatic
and I saw before me and all around

coincided with the opening of a
door into a Great Sea of Light.
AN OPEN BOOK
An open book appeared before
me as though I were standing
before a podium and I saw
myself dressed in a white
robe.

Sam Ervin on Meher Mount, its history, Agnes Baron, Meher Baba.
Meher Mount is a spiritual center dedicated to Avatar Meher Baba in Ojai, California, United States.
Meher Mount was founded by the New Life Foundation in 1946. The current corporate name is Meher Mount Corporation.
Meher Baba visited Meher Mount on August 2, 1956. In 1958, the Ancient One named the area Meher Mount and said it would become a place of world pilgrimage.

Baba quotes about Meher Mount are in Filis’ article in The Awakener and Lord Meher:
“This land is very old. I have been here before.” “I feel happy here.” “Now go out and see the view and try to love Baba through nature.” “I will come here again.” “Next to Myrtle Beach, I love this place best.”

Bennie Blue Thunder LeBeau - Archangel Michael - Native American Truth - Big Bear - Grand Tetons
BRINGING ON THE RAIN - WARRIORS OF THE RAINBOW - - - | Shepherds Chapel Jedi Training | RSTESOT.TV | Bennie Blue Thunder LeBeau - Archangel Michael - Native American Indian Truth - Big Bear Lake & Grand Tetons Medicine Wheel Earth Healing Ceremonies with Eyewitness Accounts of these foundational truths about the Earth we all live on.
To any one that visited Big Bear during the Late 90s up to 2005 that saw Big Bear lake down to levels that had docks standing in the mud and home values falling, watch what this amazing man did for Big Bear Lake and the Grand Tetons.
I met him in Ojai at an event put on by Julie Tumamait of the Chumash Indians. He put on a Sweat Lodge in Ventura, CA on 4/6/2009 that I attended and got to watch him cause a freak rain event announced on the radio an hour after we did the ceremony.
Believe it or not, just watch the water shoot out of the ground on the hills of Big Bear Lake. Julie told me that I could know all the bible I wanted, but that to get the whole truth I needed to learn the Earth. Its alive and YHVH made it... As we watched Blue Thunder give his Earth Energy Teachings I became electrified by the Holy Spirit. We talked and I found out that he has studied all of the religions of the world and definitely knows YHVH & Archangel Michael - FYI - Geronimo called God - Yahveh...
So, to all my normal Shepherds Chapel viewers, I posted this for this reason... Watch it before you say anything... Blue Thunder is definitely one of a kind. In the Bible God tells of his creation, and thus we should get to know more about it. as mother earth is definitely groaning with the birth pains of the coming new age. Watch and enjoy, and look him up for the truth from the perspective of the ancient people of North America.
