Throughout history, the Arts have played a vital role in ushering in new cycles of inspiration and beauty. They are the carrier-wave of each Renaissance - sounding forth the promise and potential of what lies ahead long before it is registered in the collective mind of humanity. Muses on the Mount is a new series intended to call in and welcome a much-needed Renaissance of the Soul through the Arts.

Together, these elements form the foundation of a remarkable means of aligning with the soul and the universe. Roberto Assagioli is recognized as the father of psychosynthesis, an experiential guide to self-realisation.
For humanity, the goal of evolution is to bring our outer personal self in line with our inner spiritual purpose. Esoteric astrology helps us to do that by understanding the nature of soul and the guiding principles which move us in our personal life toward being more loving, compassionate and just human beings.

As someone who has visited the garden over the years and donated $600 to the center I am very disappointed to see this place treat a member of the community with such hostility.
I was in the area visiting Ojai and wanted to visit the center and spend a peaceful time in the garden. I attempted to call ahead to speak to someone about open visiting hours but all I got was a pre-recorded message about checking the website for more info. Well the information was not clear on the site about open visiting hours like the center had established for many years. All it had was vague information and a calendar

One of the most beautiful places I've ever visited! Come during sunset and you won't regret it! There are two meditation rooms, a garden, a mini 10 minute trail, and multiple viewpoints of the sunset. It feels really spiritual and it was just a magical experience.
The road up to it was not hard to follow on Google Maps. There is plenty of parking in the lot next to it. Make sure to talk to the staff and they will tell you how it was started, where each meditation room is, where the trail is, etc. The staff were very nice!!

This used to be a great place to just chill and catch the sunset amidst some lovely gardens. Now it feels like it is run by some sort of covid cult. I don't know if the management has some sort of covid paranoia, or they are just cowardly conformists, but really the vibe is one of weak conformity and fear mixed with political ideology and other rubbish. Now they are charging everyone money to visit, and you have to sign health waivers and other non-sense.
There are plenty of other great places to catch the sunset and I have no interest in supporting their fear based agenda.

So glad they re-opened during the time of COVID! Be sure to check their website as they have limited time slots to visit. Basically, these are self guided tours at $10 per person.
We decided to go so that we can see the sunset. They allot two hours for you to meditate and unwind. They have benches along the paths and you can choose which view you would like to face (north, south, west, and east).
Just be aware of your surroundings, as we did see (and hear!) a rattlesnake!

When we first decided to go to Ojai, I was super bummed that Meditation Mount was still closed (first because of the Thomas Fire, and then because of COVID). The day before we were leaving to Ojai, I happen to check the website and find out that they are opening again, to pre-registered visitors to maintain social distancing! We were there the very first day they opened to the public again!
Many parts are still not open: a trail around the property, the meditation room, the library. But, we were able to follow the garden meditation path and spend some time at all the different seating areas. As

Nothing like to celebrate the night of my birthday stopping by Ojai and especially Meditation Mount. They say Ojai has been a spiritual magnet for centuries among the native Chumash, the town names means moon in their language. Celebrating my birthday this year in an auspicious place, a vortex of electromagnetic fields. 20 June 2020 auspicious date, my soul and my body needed to be present in Ojai, New moon, Eclipse, Mercury in retro and my birthday getting a glimpse of the pink moment from this beautiful mountain.

Mediation Mount is one of my favored stops in Ojai. i really like coming here after an extended day of exploring to rest and unwind. The fragrance of orange blossoms on the breeze waft up and is intoxicating, so make sure you roll your windows down and enjoy the blossoms. I've been here while it's busy and I have been here when it's quiet, and either way, a splendid view and place to reflect.

Will keep my rating the same, as though the Meditation Mount venue remains closed after the Thomas Fire of December 2017, they are working to restore the property. They are also concerned for the safety of visitors.
There are signs posted at the base of the hill showing the closed status. A hand-lettered one on the gate says, "See you in 2019". They also mention consulting their website for more details.
My Aunt did check it out. The expected reopening is April, 2019. They are seeking donations from supporters to hasten the recovery process. As a valued space of stunning Ojai

In principle I think Meditation Mount is intrinsically worth visiting. What it has unfortunately become is what will deter me from future visits.
This center was founded as an area of peace, harmony, and spirituality. The various rooms for self-reflection and meditation are a testament to that. They even have a library with writings to further your understanding of health and spirit.
But, at least on our recent visit, this place has become an over-exposed social media stomping grounds. People flood from all over to make sure they get their snapchat video or instagram selfie. We witnessed two

This place is solid. It's essentially free (suggested donation per person $2, no brainier!) and is open to the public. Sunset is a beautiful time to take in the views and but try to come 20 mins before then to get some zen time in before the crowds come 10 mins before what time your phone says sunset is...
It really is such a peaceful spot and the garden is beautifully done .. you feel relaxed right when you walk in and here the water fountain.
Also, it's DOG FRIENDLY on leash. Woohoo!!

Meditation Mount is a beautiful, serene place to go to when seeking peace and harmony with nature. Came here with no idea what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised by the facilities. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, and would definitely come back again.
The mountain was quite quiet, and contained a couple indoor meditation rooms, and a nice outdoor trail that takes you by a pond, and eventually to an epic viewpoint at the end.
Still, I felt like I wasn't able to channel my true inner-peace to its full potential, as there were a few loud tourists on the loose at times, but I was able

There needs to be more places like Meditation Mount in today's world, practically everywhere.
Had enough craze with materials, social media frenzy, work stress, ego, or all that baggage from complicated relationship? This is where you need to be. Drive up, let go, take a walk along the peaceful trail, smell the plants, breathe the sunlight, distance civilization, empty the mind.
There are several meditation rooms and various workshops available should you need more. To me, the environment itself is good enough. It's amazing how this place isn't too far from the city at all

My favorite place to visit in Ojai. I make the drive from LA regularly to catch the sunset and soak in the zen vibes.
Best time to visit is during the colder months. The view is breathtaking and the aroma is divine. Some plants are available for purchase.
Very special place to connect and feel the peace.

**OK SCENIC VIEW**
Maybe I'm a bit jaded after my return from Joshua Tree National Park and the Getty Museum. But I didn't really care for the "view" here.
ABOUT IT
========
It is part of a non-profit educational center offering spiritual programs on 32 acres of land at the east end of the Ojai Valley. The facilities were completed and became operational in 1971.
PARKING
========
Parking lot up top.

====
Short hike to the top.
Lot of tourists there, being loud.
Screaming children.
Heck, there was even a full-on photo shoot to ruin my "meditation" experience
