I am always impressed and thankful when a resource is made public without charging the visitor. It is not about the money but rather shows an attitude, a desire towards betterment of the humanity. This is definitely the case here, where the Krishnamurti Foundation offers lectures, books, DVDs about this impressive person who did much to inspire people on the road of self-inquiry and discovery. Nearby on a small hill is a pavilion where one can meditate with beautiful views over the valley. The entire place is wrapped in the scents from orange trees that surround it. This is a wonderful way to spend an hour or two in Ojai.
Worth your time if you want to do some inner exploration. Very nice site and facility, but wouldn't go out of your way if you're not there to do some learning.
Very good library & space for dialogues & workshops related to Krishnamurti's teachings.
You go with a purpose and leave fulfilled. The location is serene and peaceful surrounded by nature. The experience is one you will carry forever.
This is the second time I stay here. Lovely place to relax, enjoy gorgeous gardens, caring and friendly staff, delicious oranges from their orange groves, great rooms, and peace and quiet. Enjoy!
whether you are new to the life, teachings and philosophy of krishnamurti, you cannot come to this idyllic spot without a part of his spirit affecting you. wonderful.
So happy to have finally made it over from the UK after wanting to visit for many years.The centre lived up to and beyond any expectation in its tranquillity and ambience of peace and deep intelligence. All the staff where extremely welcoming, kind and informative.I look forward to returning in 2016.
It has the extensive collection of Jiddu Krishnamurti's books & video tapes /DVDs and good ambience to sit and read / watch the tapes.
Ojai is a small town between Santa Barbara and Ventura. It's long been known to be filled with spiritualism, artists and health enthusiasts. The Krishnamurti Education Center is full of wonderful material, the grounds are lovelyand Ojai is a very sweet town to explore; an outdoor bookstore, natural food store,lots of local artists selling beautiful things, hiking trails and more.As for the K.E.C center, its a must see if you're in Ojai. The Pepper Tree Retreatis a fabulous, and very reasonable place to stay as well, the Retreat was Krishnamurti's home for 64 years.
Loved the peace and quiet and great library of Krishnamurti materials. Have stayed here before and like to try different accommodations otherwise would have stayed here again. Great to visit.
