Just Love Forest is held as a Forest Ashram, open to all, but rooted in the living traditions and lineage of the great Indian saint Neem Karoli Baba, and following the path of Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of love.

Our Friday Evening Meditation Retreats are donation-based. Everyone is welcome. Simply offer what you can to help us offset food costs and maintain the space.

This sacred space is open to people of all faiths. If you feel called, you may bring a sacred object from your own tradition with a spiritualist, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, or otherwise to place on the altar and receive blessings.

If these practices are new to you, don’t be afraid. Come with curiosity, come to learn, come to share in community. Our invitation is simple: all hearts are welcome.

As part of this we will offer an Indian food dinner before our meditation. You're welcome to come for the evening and depart around 8pm or stay overnight in one of our canvas bell tents, all donation based.

Saturday morning we will wake up and offer a silent meditation from 7:00am - 8:00am and then Pooja & Aarti Ceremony again from 8:00-8:30am, followed by breakfast.
