A working organic farm in Ojai, California is about to become the setting for one of the more unconventional wellness experiences to hit the region this fall.
Nafas… Out of Your Mind takes over Kreation Organic Farm on Saturday, September 26, running a full 10 hours, from 11am to 9pm, and it’s already being described by organizers as less of a wellness event and more of “a threshold.”

It’s the kind of event that only really makes sense in a town that’s been quietly building a healing reputation for over a century.
Here are all the details on what should be one of the top wellness escapes from LA this year!
Why Ojai keeps earning the “wellness capital” title
Ojai’s reputation as a healing destination isn’t a recent trend, it’s baked into the town’s actual name.
Back in 1917, the town formerly known as Nordhoff, named after author Charles Nordhoff, was renamed Ojai.
Nordhoff’s 1873 book California for Health, Pleasure and Residence had helped cement the valley’s early reputation as a place people traveled specifically to heal.
That legacy has only compounded over the decades.
The town is now home to Ojai Valley Inn’s Spa Ojai, a Forbes Five-Star property regularly ranked among the best spas in the country, alongside a dense cluster of meditation centers, sound bath studios, and retreat spaces that have made the entire valley feel purpose-built for slowing down.
Add in Ojai’s long-standing pull for artists and self-described “bohemian” types, and it’s easy to see why organizers picked this exact town to host something this immersive.
The farm itself is part of the draw
Kreation Organic Farm isn’t just a rented event space, it’s an actual working orchard tied to Kreation Juice, the LA-based organic juicery founded in 2007 by Marjan Sarshar.
The farm grows its own cherries, plums, and apricots without pesticides or GMOs, and the grounds themselves, all rolling rows of fruit trees against Ojai’s mountain backdrop, are part of what makes this setting feel worlds away from a typical event venue.
What a day at Nafas actually looks like
This isn’t a lineup of back-to-back yoga classes.
According to the event’s own description, the day is built around silent meditation, unstructured movement and dance meant to short-circuit overthinking, and a shared communal meal meant to nourish more than just the body.
Attendees are explicitly invited to show up “unfinished, unguarded, unnamed,” which tells you almost everything about the tone organizers are going for here.
- Date: Saturday, September 26, 2026
- Hours: 11 am to 9 pm
- Location: Kreation Organic Farm, 2561 Grand Ave, Ojai
- Tickets: Starting at around $300, which grant general admission to the grounds for the day of activities
Getting there from LA
Ojai sits roughly 83 miles northwest of Los Angeles, and the drive typically clocks in around 90 minutes via the 101 to the 33, making it one of the more doable full-day escapes without needing to plan an overnight stay.
If public transit is more your speed, Metrolink runs trains from Union Station toward Ventura, with a connecting bus or rideshare covering the final stretch into Ojai!
Given the farm setting, the town’s century-old healing reputation, and the sheer amount of unstructured, judgment-free space built into the schedule, this is shaping up to be one of the more genuinely different wellness events happening within driving distance of LA this fall.
