Manifesto

May we be granted the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, the courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference. May we remember that freedom can be found when we discover our uniqueness. May we love life free of conditions and remember the magic of asking: What wants to happen next? May we find strength in slowing down and remember that receiving is a gift to the giver; that our natural state is compassion and that there is beauty in every emotion. May nature provide us with answers and when in doubt guide us back to our intention. May we speak with care, always. May we embrace honesty with ourselves and others, especially when discomfort asks us to turn away. May we remember to close our eyes from time to time and ask our hearts to take the lead.

You may say we are dreamers… and you’d be absolutely right. We dream of a world where animals are no longer used, but are instead free to be wild. A world in which each animal - human and non-human alike - is acknowledged and celebrated for their uniqueness. A world where the relationship between people and environment is harmoniously based on mutual respect. This world, the one in our dreams, recognizes and appreciates the interdependence of all things.
