“Something has really shifted in me since Ojai. Although I can’t put my finger on what it is, its a subtle shift that has relaxed me in ways I couldn’t before. The insecurity I felt is gone and I’m dealing with my life and relationship with more of me. It was super powerful to discover new ways of relating to myself. Victoria, your wisdom and guidance has forever woken me up to greater love for myself. Thank you Thank you.” ~ M. R.
“The dreaming process amazes me. In dream circle, a powerful mystery unfolds through the intricate untangling of dream images. Often, what shows up gives me direct insight into what is present in my life right now. It is a personal neon sign. And from my group experiences with dreaming, the messages can be both dramatically direct and subtly meaningful. They are surprisingly poignant for the other dreamers as well. We dream for each other. It is intimate, deep, transformative work. Not to be missed!” ~ S.K.
“Ojai was a respite and renewal for me. I left that beautiful home feeling ready and equipped to bring more of me into my life. I saw where I had been hiding parts of myself that I had been judging harshly. Through your teachings of wholeness and the space of acceptance you hold Victoria, I was able to stop being so hard on myself. This has created a more open connection in relationship with my husband.” ~ C. J.

The Location
Ojai is a magical vortex of energy.
Many spiritual masters have shared their teachings in this powerful hot spot of energy called Ojai. The town is very small, fun to explore, and only a few blocks from our retreat home. You may want to arrive early on Thursday to explore Ojai, or even drive up the night before to tap into the peace and vibrant light the shines from the lush hillsides surrounding the town.
Women are the dreamers, healers and creators of life. We have an incredible ability to give rise to love regardless of the landscape or the circumstances. When women squash their free, wild, authentic, expressive nature, stress accumulates and unexpressed feelings become locked in the body. They lose their power to dream, they shut down their free feminine nature, and begin to identify with their inner male – their intellect. If our future world is to have greater peace and harmony, we women must no longer avoid our innermost truth, the wisdom of our body and emotions, and the expression of our deepest gifts.
Victoria and Tosh as your Guides
We are committed to truth over illusion. Our intention is to open the space for inner connection and allow the heart to guide the process of raising our state. In sacred circle you’ll experience an infusion of your inner truth and a rejuvenation of your spirit.

“The first thing a Dreamer needs to know is that she is being dreamed. A dreamer knows she is a vital part of a great wholeness that empowers her as a creative being. When you really get that you are being dreamed, you are on your way to mastery, you fall in love with yourself and become a co-creator with life.”
