About Ojai Grand Circle
The Invitation
Whether you’re old or new to Ojai, there are so many amazing, incredible women you haven’t met yet.
Let’s tap into one of our valley’s greatest resources … each other!
Come sit under the old oaks
In a grand circle
And leave feeling inspired, hopeful, and connected.
May this circle nourish us deeply on all levels.
May this circle be a foundation out of which many ideas can come into form and dreams into fruition.
May this circle be a seed, a beginning, a spark from which many constellations and creations are born.
May this circle be a well to return to, to replenish yearly, maybe twice a year, perhaps quarterly with the seasons.
May this circle establish a rhythm, an ebb of coming together strengthening trust and momentum to then flow back out into the community and the world with our gifts, offerings and medicine.
The Intention
The Vision
An ever-deepening sisterhood and kinship creating systems of support
To build a community of care
So we can be resourced to make a better world for all
The Commitment
A brave space for all women-identifying and nonbinary beings of all ages, shapes, sizes, colors, creeds, backgrounds and beliefs.
An ongoing experiment that isn’t afraid of failing, learning, accountability, adjusting,
And trying again. And again. And again.
A culture of LOVE, transparency, respect, compassion, vulnerability, humility, inclusivity,
Interconnectedness, and RADICAL BEAUTY.
Upholding practices of reverence and respect for Nature and our beloved valley.
Acknowledging Ojai (awha’y) as the ancestral lands of the Chumash people and honoring their rich history, culture, and traditions.
