Together in Compassion

Written By Jamie Clay

A Note from Jamie

Hi friends,

October reminded us of the power of community — and how much stronger we are when we come together.

From Luvin' Arms Fall Fest to our Emerald Lake hike, this month was filled with connection, compassion, and gratitude. Even with the wild wind at Fall Fest, it was inspiring to see so many vegan businesses, sanctuaries, and supporters creating a kinder world for all beings. Check out all of the compassionate Fall Fest vendors

Thank you to everyone who joined our hikes, cooking class, yoga sessions, and restaurant meetups. Each gathering proves that community and compassion go hand in hand.

October in Review – Meetups & Memories

Gratitude

This community continues to grow in the most beautiful way. Every event, post share, and act of support helps sustain vegan businesses, sanctuaries, and our mission of compassionate, conscious living.

Let’s keep showing up for the animals, the planet, and each other — together.
