"What if  I created a gathering spot where people knew they belonged

in the world, in a community, and to themselves? "

Flourish Ojai came to life in 2019 with Founder & Creative Director,

Diana Syvertson

June 4, 2002 – a day when I heard the call to a new adventure and a dying to my old life. A realization that when I hung out in my grove of oaks and sycamores and listened to the sounds of the creek, I would lose my mind. My small mind disappeared and a connection to a ground of being grew.

 

What if I created a gathering spot and built a small space among the trees for friends to come for simple meditations and creative art and movement and circle gatherings to just be? To share in the stillness and peace and absorb nature’s Divine Intelligence?

 

And so I did. And friends came and other friends came and taught there and we shared and were vulnerable with each other and found peace and safety.

​

We agree that there are incredible, resilient, creative,​ and powerfully imaginative people who love this planet and who operate from dignity, courage, truth, and honesty...

& we are excited to connect them with YOU!
