meaningful service to the land.

Service Days at Just Love Forest are more than just volunteering; they're a commitment to being Stewards of the Land, guardians of our forest. As Stewards, we engage in meaningful work that nurtures the forest and its structures—enhancing and maintaining our serene labyrinth, picturesque trails, cozy yurts, and welcoming tents. But our most exciting project is earth building using the Calearth.org adobe method, a sustainable construction technique that connects us deeply to the earth. Together, we'll put our hands in the soil to finish building our earth sauna, a communal haven designed to hold 20 people, where warmth will meet tranquility.

No prior experience? No problem! We provide all the necessary tools and guidance, making this enriching work accessible to all ability types and to everyone aged 15 and older. Whether you're seeking to make new friends, contribute to a sustainable future, or bask in the healing power of the forest, Just Love Forest's Service Days offer a unique opportunity to connect with the earth and with each other. Come join us, and experience the joy of building not just structures, but community.

voluntary Contributions

While there is a cost associated with maintaining our 716-acre nature preserve and supporting our ongoing projects, we invite you to contribute in a way that feels right for you. To continue building and protecting this sacred space, we suggest a Recommended Contribution of $20+. This amount helps us cover the actual costs of food, stewarding and upkeep in the forest and ensures we can keep offering these transformative experiences.

Remember, everyone is welcome at Just Love Forest, regardless of the ability to pay. Your presence, energy, and intention contribute immensely to the magic of our gatherings. If you have questions, need more information, or wish to discuss alternative contributions, like volunteering to support events please feel free to reach out to bala@justloveforest.com.

All service days are open the Saturdays of our monthly community weekends. Please select the month you’re interested in. You can select the Saturday service a part of that registration.

With gratitude and open hearts,

The Stewards of Just Love Forest
