I’m excited to share that I have been given the honor to steward the Matilija Sanctuary in Ojai,CA. I will be in residence there, as well as managing the property and vacation retreat rentals. It’s 9 acres of secluded private land, tucked in a canyon on the Matilija River just north of Ojai, with year round natural hot and cold springs and accommodations for 40+ guests

I have been in conversations with the new owners for several months developing our vision and intention for the land and resources there. We want to invite workshop and seminar facilitators to come and utilize the space for education, training and community. For many years it has been a hub of new thought, spiritual exploration, permaculture, and conscious gatherings. We will be continuing this legacy and plan to have it available by June.

Though a private residence, and not available for unscheduled public use, we do want to continue renting it for single and multiple person retreats and vacations, as the previous stewards had. If you have interest in having retreat here or visiting the property, please contact me.

It’s a nourishing, potent, inspirational location where I will have the opportunity to host and nurture our visitors, share the healing power of nature, provide live music for our guests and offer private coaching and mentoring sessions upon request.

I am grateful to be in service and entrusted with the care of this amazing land and create a sanctuary for those that will be visiting.

..I don't suppose any indigenous people's could afford to visit their once sacred land though!
Anyway, times change, the wheel turns and you're a fortunate guy to be looking after such a unique spot on the planet.

Regarding your comment about indigenous people not being able to afford utilizing Matilija Sanctuary. First I want to let you know that one of my friends is a seventh generation pipe carrier for the local Chumash people who inhabited this land before the Spanish came. She has carte blanche to come to the land and have ceremony and retreat there. also, many indigenous people have lots of money to afford supporting the care of the land, through their business earnings, i.e casinos etc. or native organizations.

I am interested in visiting Matilija and consider it for retreats whichI lead. I have just moved to the Ojai area and it seems like a good fit for the kind of work that I offer. Could I make an appointment to look around?

I am looking for a quiet place for 1-2 weeks to continue my recuperation from recent surgery.It would be for myself and my 31 y.o. niece so we would need separate sleeping quarters. Do you have any short-term rentals like this? Thank you.

Hello, and blessings on your stewardship-
I've long been an admirer of Matilija springs from afar and am pleased to hear they're becoming more available. I'll be visiting the SB area Labor Day weekend and am wondering if it's possible to get day (or partial day) access to check out the facility for future, longer term or workshop use? Please let me know, either by email or phone at (805)450-3118. Thank you.
