Release Your Inner Artist ... or Cowgirl

Ever wonder if your soul might be harboring a dormant Picasso-esque talent or if you have the potential to be the world’s next great vintner? Now you can explore your innermost yearnings without making a huge commitment in time, money, or real estate. Ojai Valley Inn & Spa has expanded on their theme of whole-person wellness with a program called Short Courses in Better Living. Held over the duration of a week, each short course is held on a separate day, allowing for a fun exploration of golf, wine tasting and pairing, horse care and riding skills, blending your own aromatherapy oils, and creating works of art with herbs, paint, and wax. Offered regularly, the courses are designed to provide guests with an authentic taste of different life paths, all within Ojai’s nurturing and tranquil setting.
