Huge thanks to everyone who joined in our yurt raising day last Saturday! There’s something indescribably precious about a group of people coming together with a shared vision and energy. This is our 3rd yurt now at Just Love. We look forward to finishing this project in time for the winter months. The power of community coming together is a wondrous thing to behold as we create this forest home. Just Love always! #justloveforest #poetryga #yurt #foresthome

September is a month of magic suspension. Beyond the beat of summer’s heat and not yet fully in the embrace of Fall …
It’s a beautiful time of equilibriums as we approach the fall equinox together this Sunday. This is the day that the day and night are in perfect balance. From this point forward, the days will be shorter than the nights until Spring. We are starting a new part of our journey with the planets. We begin to go inward. We prepare for winter and hibernation. We gather food and family. We reflect on what has germinated from our time close to the sun. ☀️💚
Big, beautiful, plumply ripe wild muscadine grapes abound! No need to pack a lunch this time of year. The forest feeds all who journey within.
Deep in the forest, a muscadine vine and an old oak tree have found a way to grow together, forming a lifelong symbiotic relationship. 🍇🌳 The vine wraps itself around the tree’s trunk when it’s young, using it for support as it reaches toward the sunlight, while the tree gains protection from erosion and a lush companion to share its space.
Together, they thrive—each one giving, each one receiving. It’s a beautiful reminder of nature’s interconnectedness and the harmony that exists when we lean on each other. 💚
Here’s to the muscadine vine and its tree, two partners in growth, forever entwined. 🌿🤝🌳

Come experience yourself as part of nature this Sunday. Share in the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, translated as “forest bathing.” This isn’t a hike or getting to the destination. This is about using all of our magical sense - touch, taste, sound, smell and intuition to all the miracles that are already right here and now in nature. Yes you’ll experience deep relaxation and peace but you’ll get something more important - a knowingness of your connection as part of all of life. We aren’t here viewing it - we are it! Join us for a day of slowly and gently going through the forest. Learn more here: www.justloveforest.com/foresttherapy. Link in bio. 🩵🩵🩵
Reclaiming our ability and creativity to build with the earth gives us connection and sovereignty. And it’s fun to play in the dirt with community and purpose. Joins us this Saturday as we continue our earth building journey together. Link in bio. #justloveforest #poetryga #adobe #earthbuilding
Once every month under the glow of the full moon we come to drum. It’s a time to find your voice through natural beats. No judgment here. No experience needed. We have drums to share. Come make new forest friends - they’re often forever friends. Join us next weekend for community weekend. Link in bio. #justloveforest #poetryga #drumcircle #forestfriends #foreverfriends
Feel the feelings.

As kids we were always held by vastness and wonder that seemed limitless. Turns out this was the truth. Take your blinders and boundaries off again to experience mystery and beauty in everything. #justloveforest #poetryga #feelsmallagain
