Celebrating 1 Year of Flora and Fauna Experiences

Jun 23

Hi friends,

June marked one year since the launch of Flora and Fauna Experiences, and I wanted to take a moment to say thank you.

What started as an idea inspired by two rescued sheep, Flora and Fauna, has grown into something far beyond what I imagined. Over the past year, we've built a community centered around compassion, connection, conscious living, and meaningful experiences.

Compassionate Living Retreat

This quarter, we hosted our first Compassionate Living Retreat at Luvin Arms Animal Sanctuary.

Together, we spent the day connecting with rescued animals, practicing yoga, enjoying plant-based food, learning from local experts, creating art, reflecting on our values, and building community.

The feedback was incredibly heartwarming:

"What a wonderful day! The way you set it all up is a true reminder of why visiting a sanctuary is such a reboot for why we do this."

"This was genuinely so healing."

The retreat celebrated not only our first business anniversary, but also the rescue anniversary of Flora and Fauna themselves.

You can view some pictures from the day on our Facebook and Instagram pages.

One Year of Impact

Over the past year, together we have:
Hosted 3 retreats
Organized 55 meetups
Supported 41 vegan and vegan-friendly businesses
Supported 8 sanctuaries and rescues
Luvin Arms Impact: 10 gatherings hosted at the sanctuary and $557 donated to support rescued animals

The friendships, conversations, and connections created through this community have been the most meaningful part of this journey.

Save the Date

Our 2027 Compassionate Living Retreat at Luvin Arms Animal Sanctuary is tentatively scheduled for June 13, 2027. We’re already working on an exciting day! We hope you'll save the date and join us for another day of connection, learning, and compassion.
