\"brown<\/a>As the owner and formulator of Sevani Botanica and a practicing Holistic Aesthetician, I don’t have much time for a vacation. I usually spend my time in treatments with clients and customers, running workshops, and on, and on, and on.\u00a0 But, this summer has been hot here on the east coast and I needed<\/em> to get out and away, but also do something I am passionate about.<\/p>\n

I didn’t want to go far but felt some unexplainable cosmic need to get out of the state.\u00a0 So I headed for the Catskills in New York.\u00a0 Just a few hours drive and I was away from the city and in a very beautiful place where I could get back to nature and find some peace.\u00a0 I enjoyed a lot of things that weekend including taking some amazing hikes, visiting an Ayurveda spa along with two local animal sanctuaries.<\/p>\n

Yes, the ideal vacation for me involves visiting wonderful animal sanctuaries.\u00a0 It’s not how everyone spends their time off, but, I do love animals and enjoy supporting them however possible; including making donations to worthy animal welfare organizations with my personal funds as well as sales of Sevani.\u00a0 Visiting these sanctuaries gave me an opportunity to see up front the type of work these specific organizations do and, of course, to be with the animals!<\/p>\n

The first place we went was the Catskill Animal Sanctuary<\/a>.\u00a0 CAS is a 100 + acre facility dedicated to being a “haven for horses and farm animals rescued from cruelty and neglect.”<\/em>\u00a0 They provide emergency rescue services to animals in need, educational services to the public, and even vegan cooking classes!\u00a0\u00a0 The Catskill Animal Sanctuary and the staff there were absolutely fantastic.\u00a0 They had such passion for the cause and were so loving with the animals it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to visit their facility.<\/p>\n

Next we were on to Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary<\/a>.\u00a0 Another non profit that helps mis-treated farm animals, Woodstock Farm is the work of Jenny Brown and Doug Abel.\u00a0 They have built a safe haven where many different animals can live out their lives in peace; an often stark contrast to what they were experiencing.\u00a0 Like CAS, Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary offers tours to the pu\"Woodstock<\/a>blic so they can meet and greet these lovely beings in a more natural state as well as the opportunity to stay at the farm in their guest house.\u00a0 Jenny has written a book too titled “The Lucky Ones; My Passionate Fight for Farm Animals” that can be bought at the sanctuary, online at their site, and pretty much everywhere else books are sold!\u00a0 It will be available 8\/2\/12 and a portion of the proceeds will benefit WFAS.<\/p>\n

Upon seeing and experiencing both of these facilities, I knew they were places Sevani was meant to support, and so, we made donations to each, and plan to do so again.\u00a0\u00a0 We encourage you to support these wonderful organizations too.\u00a0 Both websites linked in this post will give you information on how you can best support the sanctuaries mentioned here.<\/p>\n

And remember, these are just 2 examples of the MANY organizations working world wide to support all kinds of animals in need.\u00a0 You might consider doing a bit of research and finding a non profit animal welfare organization that resonates with you that you can support with donations of time, money, supplies and whatever else they may need.<\/p>\n

Best of all, you can always support animals of all kinds by purchasing Sevani natural beauty products!\u00a0 It has always been my dream to be able to fund an animal sanctuary of my own.\u00a0 Until then, sales of Sevani will help support those who are currently working to help animals locally, nationally, and internationally as long as there are animals in need.<\/p>\n
