Just Love Forest Fest's next dates haven't been announced yet. The last festival was 2 to 4 October 2026 in Poetry, GA. Froligo tracks ticket prices, camping, attendee feedback and travel details.
What it stands for
The organizer calls Forest Fest a modern harvest gathering and says it is not produced for you but created with you, with every workshop, shared meal, helping hand, song and conversation adding to it. Its stated intention is to make gathering financially accessible to as many people as possible, through payment plans, financial support and volunteer roles. It is explicit that there is no schedule you have to conquer and nowhere you have to be, and invites people to wander into whatever catches their attention, take a forest walk, or skip something entirely. It says no particular beliefs or background are needed, only curiosity, kindness and an open heart. All of that is the festival describing itself
The experience
What's special
The first Just Love Forest Fest is a three day harvest gathering on 716 acres of Georgia forest, and the way it is sold is the first thing to understand: there is no entry ticket. You book a place to sleep, from $150 for your own tent up to $400 for a queen bed in a canvas bell tent, and that covers two nights on the land, six plant based meals from Friday dinner to Sunday lunch, and every workshop. Over twenty workshops and experiences are offered by twenty two named members of the extended community, covering yoga, meditation, breath, somatic work, three different sound baths, poetry writing, poi, nature art, permaculture, native plant and green burial education, shamanic kirtan and contra dance. Friday opens with a ritual in the meadow and acoustic music round the fire, Saturday runs from optional morning yoga through a full day of workshops to a three hour ecstatic dance under the stars with CALAGNA, and Sunday closes with a conscious dance led by Marisa Skolky and a final community circle. It is alcohol free, family friendly, and capped at 60 people
The practice
Who it's for. The organizer says you do not need a spiritual background or any particular beliefs, only curiosity and an open heart, and describes the gathering as welcoming the curious, the experienced and everyone in between. Yoga and meditation are described as optional. No level labels, intensity guidance or mobility guidance is published for any session

Programme
There is no timed schedule for 2026 and that is by design. The organizer publishes a shape for each day and a list of facilitators with workshop titles, and states plainly that there is no schedule you have to conquer and nowhere you have to be

Teachers & presenters
Twenty two names for the inaugural 2026 weekend, each paired with the workshop or experience the organizer bills them with. Twenty one come from the festival page's own facilitator grid and Marisa Skolky is named on the event description page as leading the Sunday afternoon conscious dance. Several are billed by first name or stage name only (Trevor, Cody Maria, CALAGNA), and Ed & Tami Howe are billed as a pair. They are workshop and experience leads across many subjects, not a yoga teaching roster: no facilitator is named for the optional yoga and meditation, and no session has a published time
Plus the rest of the 22+ teachers, practitioners and speakers across the weekend.
Marketplace and vendors
No market, vendor village or trader programme is advertised. The weekend is closed catered and alcohol free, and nothing may be removed, collected or harvested from the forest
