My heart is so full! 💛 Thank you to everyone who came along to our vegan potluck picnic in the park!
It was wonderful to catch up with friends and make new ones over a delicious vegan and alcohol-free spread! Despite the forecasted ~40 degree weather (thanks Melbourne! 😅) we had a great turnout.
A special shoutout to those who came along without knowing anyone beforehand. It can take courage to do that, and I’m so glad you joined us and formed new connections 😊
It was also great to have non-vegans joining us as well. It’s exciting being able to share how we can enjoy delicious meals while still being kind to animals 💛
A massive thank you to Tebs and Alex for the super fun impromptu jam session!
Thank you also to Guilherme for the location suggestion! For anyone planning a picnic, Yarra Bend Park is a great spot with multiple undercover picnic areas, BBQs, bathrooms, playgrounds, car parking, river views, bats, and plenty of walking tracks to explore!
I love that the event continued until well after midnight! (Swipe to the end for our survivor’s photo!).
It was such a wonderful afternoon filled with delicious food, games, music, good vibes, and great company! Thank you all for being the lovely humans that you are and for helping make it so special 💛
Note: I was organising another event for this coming weekend. However, there is a working bee at on Sat 1st Feb. A group of us are going to that instead - and we would love for you to join us! Just fill in the volunteer application form (link below) and the friendly team at Liberation Sanctuary will be in touch. This working bee also includes an optional overnight campout as well! Hope to see you all there so we can have fun hanging out together whilst also helping the animals and the team at Liberation Sanctuary! 😊
Wishing you all a wonderful day and hope to see you all soon!
