We’ve hosted the Ram Dass Summer Camp for three years now and it’s a favorite event for many. This year we’ve teamed up with a large Ram Dass-inspired community, The Sacred Community Project (www.sacredcommunityproject.org) to offer a much larger heartfelt gathering. Sitaram Dass, Founder of SCP, was Ram Dass’ longest caretaker. And in the process he was profoundly affected by his “Loving Awareness” and wanted to share this love through gatherings and practices in sacred community.
This is a devotional nature retreat created in friendship between the satsangs of The Sacred Community Project and Just Love Forest.
SACRED COMMUNITY RETREAT
Awakening the Heart through the Path of Grace
An inter-spiritual retreat rooted in the lineage of Ram Dass and Neem Karoli Baba and centering the teachings of Bhakti Yoga and Buddhism.
Anchored with mantra, meditation, and ritual, the core practice of this retreat is Sacred Community. We practice seeing the Divine everywhere—in nature, in each other, and in ourselves—and we act in reverence to this Truth. In this way, we help each other awaken from separation and into the heart of Love.
PRACTICE
Who we are is deeper than our thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, or social roles. These are like clouds happening within the sky of our Awareness. As we awaken to this, we learn that this Awareness is not isolated to our own mind. It is the fabric of Reality and the Relational Web that connects us. Ram Dass called this Loving-Awareness. As Pavan Das says, “Just as sunlight is warm, our Awareness is naturally loving.”
By gathering in Satsang (spiritual community) and engaging in sadhana (practice), we gain Darshan (vision) and behold this Love everywhere.
