Recently, my husband and I took in the “pink moment” as they call the Ojai, California sunset. It was different from any other sunset I have experienced. It was beautiful!

I booked a visit to Meditation Mount in Ojai. Meditiation Mount is open at certain times for visitors to come enjoy the grounds and enjoy the peace. A reservation and fee will allow one to enter the gates. There are garden paths to stroll through the grounds and plenty of benches to stop and sit to enjoy nature. After being able to relax on the property, guests are encouraged to take part in a group meditation led by one of the staff. This was a wonderful experience and I left the room in peace.

There is also another meditation room that is for self-guided meditation for anyone who prefers this type of meditation. I peeked in and there was a circle of chairs and candles set up in the center of the room. A very nice setting for meditation.

After meditation, guests find a space to enjoy the sunset. High above the valley, Meditation Mount offers a good view of the setting sun. However, don’t be fooled (as I was) into thinking the amazing event is happening in the west, where the sun is setting. Oh no, my friend. Look around! The pink moment is directly behind, to the east. The clouds turn a beautiful pink. The show is all around.

The Ojai “pink moment” can (of course) be viewed from anywhere in Ojai that you can catch a glipse of the sunset. Catching the “pink moment” was one of the highlights from our trip to Ojai. Ojai is a good place to feel grounded and at one with nature.

As Always, Happy Travels!
