A Just Love Forest Ashram Inspired Spiritual Practice Retreat

Loving Awareness is an open invitation into presence itself. It is the heart practice of resting in what is here, moment by moment, and letting the wisdom of the body, the land, and the heart become our guide. This retreat offers a spacious immersion into the simple yet profound art of being awake with life as it is, without needing to fix or perform. Here at Just Love Forest we trust that the quiet of the woods, the rhythm of the seasons, and the company of kind hearts help each of us remember what we already are.

Loving Awareness is for anyone who longs to reconnect with inner spaciousness, to soften into their own ever-present love, and to meet life with clarity and compassion. Whether you come seeking renewal, grounding, insight, or simple rest, this retreat provides practices that help you come home to yourself.

This retreat is hosted by Sitaram Dass, one of Ram Dass’ long-term caregivers and founder of the Sacred Community Project. He’s a spiritual counselor, author, meditation teacher, kirtan singer, and longtime student of Ram Dass. Sitaram’s path is rooted in bhakti, the yoga of love and devotion, and he has dedicated his life to supporting others in waking up to the heart’s own presence. He is the director of the Sacred Community Project and the author of From and for God, a contemplative collection of spiritual writings. Throughout his work he strives to lower barriers to contemplative and devotional practices, offering accessible support, teachings, and community for seekers around the world. His presence brings warmth, grounded insight, and devotion to every moment of practice.

Over our time together at Loving Awareness we will explore practices that help us rest in the heart’s natural openness. We will move gently between guided meditation, mindful silence, movement that awakens the body, and practices rooted in presence. Forest walks and contemplative time outdoors allow the land itself to become a teacher, helping us deepen our capacity to feel, notice, and receive what arises. Evening gatherings offer shared reflection, quiet ritual, lots of kirtan, and space to integrate the day.

Some days will hold stillness. Others will invite deep listening. All will offer vastness beneath the surface of the ordinary. This retreat is not about becoming someone new but remembering someone ancient: the one who lives from the heart and meets life with warm awareness.

Loving Awareness welcomes all who come with openness and curiosity. Come with what you carry, exactly as you are. Here you will be invited to rest in love’s own awareness and to let that presence shape your experience of the world.

Be Here Friday
Satsang with the Teachings of Ram Dass

A Just Love Forest Ashram Inspired Event • Donation-Based Meditation Overnight
Friday Arrival at 4:30 PM

Be Here Fridays are an invitation to slow down and arrive.

As the week releases its grip, we gather in the forest to sit together as satsang (spiritual community) in shared presence, discussion, prayer, song and quiet companionship. These evenings are not about doing more, but about remembering what it feels like to simply be here now together.

Just Love Forest Ashram gatherings are open to all compassionate people and spiritual paths. Our roots are in the lineage of Neem Karoli Baba and the Bhakti Yoga tradition, the yoga of love and devotion. You don’t need any familiarity with these traditions to attend. An open heart and gentle curiosity are enough.

This gathering is entirely donation-based. Please offer what you can to help care for the land, share food, and sustain the space. Everyone is welcome.

The evening includes:

• Guided meditation, accessible to beginners and experienced practitioners alike
• Guided satsang discussions and readings to share our perspectives
• Pooja and Aarti, a simple ceremonial offering honoring the elements and directions through light, song, and prayer

This is a multi-faith, inclusive space. If you feel called, you’re welcome to bring a compassionate sacred object from your own tradition: spiritualist, Hindu, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, earth-based, or otherwise to place on the altar and receive blessings.

If meditation or ceremony feels unfamiliar or intimidating, please know that nothing is required of you. You’re welcome to sit, observe, breathe, and let yourself be held by the space. Respectful curiosity is more than enough.

We’ll share a nourishing Indian-themed dinner together before meditation.

You’re welcome to join us for the evening and depart around 8:00 PM, or stay overnight in one of our canvas bell tents. Both options are donation-based.

Saturday morning unfolds gently with:

4th Annual Ram Dass Summer Camp 🧡🐒

Join us for our largest gathering of the year, a heart-opening immersion into the lineage of Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of devotion and love.

We will open the weekend together in sacred ceremony, formally entering the space of Just Love Forest Ashram. Through a grounding ritual and opening Aarti, we will invoke the lineage of Ram Dass, Neem Karoli Baba, and Hanuman, calling in the directions, the forest, and the shared intention that brings us together. This opening ceremony marks our collective step into devotional time, setting the container for remembrance, reverence, and love.

From there, the days unfold as a rich tapestry of Aarti rituals, meditation, forest therapy, and late-night mountaintop kirtans, where we sing our hearts out beneath the vast summer sky. We’ll gather around the fire for satsang conversations, sharing our paths, questions, laughter, and longings, deepening together into the practices of love and service.

Special guests will join us with soul-stirring kirtan, alongside our beloved Naga Das guiding transformative breathwork. Bala will lead satsang reflections that invite us into the living heart of Ram Dass’s teachings, not as philosophy, but as practice. Additional special guests will be announced soon.

This is a community-centered gathering in the forest, intentionally designed to be financially accessible. While there are suggested contribution guidelines, please don’t let finances keep you from this celebration of love. Reach out if you feel called and need support.

Come to sing, to serve, to sit together, and to remember what brought us to the path in the first place. We can’t wait to welcome you into the circle.

JOIN US FOR 3 DAYS OF SILENCE AND REFLECTION

Step away from the noise of everyday life and enter a container of deep stillness in the sacred forests of Just Love Forest Ashram in Poetry, Georgia. Silence: A 3-Day Experience is an immersive silent retreat designed to support inner reflection, presence, and heart-awakening through contemplative time in nature.

Over the course of three days, participants are invited to let go of spoken communication, disconnect from technology and distraction, and lean into the quiet wisdom of the forest and their own inner world. Silence becomes a shared practice, without talking, reading, music, or screens, allowing space for personal insight, meditative rest, and open awareness.

The retreat is held within a supportive and intentional environment where nature is both teacher and sanctuary, encouraging you to walk meditation paths, sit in stillness beneath ancient trees, journal your reflections, and slow the pace of living. Guides are present to offer occasional meditation but do not interrupt the overall silence; participants are seen as fellow seekers on unique inner journeys.

Silence: A 4-Day Experience is open to people of all backgrounds and levels of experience, held with reverence for the forest, community, and the stillness that unites us. It is offered by invitation after a short connection call to support an ideal fit for each retreat container.

People of all backgrounds and levels of experience are invited to attend. This is space held for your personal growth, reflection and rejuvenation, supported by the forest.

Arrival will be at 1:00pm on Thursday evening to gather for dinner, deep introductions and gentle kirtan music to welcome us all into the space with each other. Silence will begin Friday morning. You will be asked not to communicate using sound until we break silence on Sunday evening where we will close with deep sharing and kirtan.
