Oddly enough, they appear to be sort of new-agey themselves. The woman in the New Age Girls video goes by the name Patty Universe.

I can't quite figure out if it's all a big spoof, or if this particular video is just them laughing at themselves.

I posted a couple of their other vids downthread.

I think the OP video is them laughing at themselves. Which begs the question, how much of this stuff do they take seriously.

They're a video production company. Maybe they just see this as a profitable niche.

Or maybe they do take it seriously and were just laughing at themselves.

I do have to give them credit for making a very funny video.

The Ojai Foundation is definitely non-mainstream, sort of a cross between a retreat and an intentional community of some sort, but the video is still funny. It shouldn't matter if they're parodying their own culture.

so the video could be mockery, and the video makers could be believers.
