WELCOME TO OUR october COMMUNITY WEEKEND AT JUST LOVE FOREST! 🌲💚
Hello, Forest Family! We’re beyond excited to invite you to up to a week of connection, rejuvenation, and joy in the heart of nature. You may choose to come to one or all experiences. There’s something meaningful for everyone. This weekend encapsulates our favorite ways of fostering camaraderie and community spirit (meditation, service, drum circle and forest therapy), with an extended stay option (Mon-Thurs) available for members.
Members receive access to all the weekend events, extended stays & retreats at a highly discounted contribution. Learn more about our Steward membership here.

WHAT’S HAPPENING?
FRIDAY - MEDITATION OVERNIGHT
4:00PM Arrival
This enchanting evening is dedicated to easing us into the weekend with guided meditation sits and spiritual classes. It's a time to let go of the week's stresses, connect deeply with our inner selves, and embrace the tranquility of our forest surroundings. Join us for a journey inward, illuminated by starlight and the gentle glow of lanterns, as we lay the foundation for a weekend of growth and unity.

SATURDAY – A DAY OF SERVICE & RHYTHMS
Service Day, 10:30AM Arrival
Sound & Song Circle, 4:00PM Arrival
After a morning of peaceful meditation, we'll transition into a day of service, giving back to the land that sustains us. Whether it's planting, building, or nurturing, every hand makes a difference. As the sun sets, the rhythm rises — our drum circle under the moonlight is where beats and hearts align, creating unforgettable moments of unity and celebration.

SUNDAY – Day of Silence Retreat
10:00AM Arrival
Did you ever notice, the words "silent" and "listen" are the same letters, just arranged differently? Silence is powerful, it commands your attention. It may make you uncomfortable, because it is so easy to fill the void with noise. You long for peace and quiet, yet frightened of it at the same time.
Being silent reveals opportunities to listen.
To listen to the innerworkings of your mind and find peace, you have to sit, become still and listen. In time, the noise becomes nothing but noise. If you listen long enough, a separation occurs.
You can find a beautiful wellspring of peace and quiet within you, just be silent and listen. A unique opportunity to be silent awaits! See details below and join Rene and Bala in the forest!
