💚 Rescue Feature: Laster Ranch Animal Rescue 💚

While camping in Joshua Tree with .vegan.basecamp we had the opportunity to visit Laster Ranch Animal Rescue and spend time with some of their incredible residents.

Located in Morongo Valley, California, Laster Ranch was founded after owners Robert and Kerry visited a farm animal sanctuary during the pandemic. That experience changed their lives, inspiring them to sell their restaurant and home to create a sanctuary dedicated to giving farm animals a safe and loving forever home.

Today, Laster Ranch provides sanctuary for pigs, goats, chickens, rabbits, and other farmed animals while educating the community about compassionate and cruelty-free living. Their vision is simple but powerful: helping people see farm animals as the intelligent, emotional individuals they are.

One of the things we loved most about visiting was hearing the stories behind the residents and seeing firsthand how much care, love, and intention goes into creating a safe space where animals can simply be themselves.

Visits like these are a reminder of why sanctuaries matter, why they are a cornerstone of our business. They give animals a second chance while helping people build deeper connections with the individuals behind our food system.

If you're ever exploring the Joshua Tree area, we highly recommend learning more about the incredible work being done at Laster Ranch.

💚 New Retreat Experience Added: Creating Joy Through Enrichment 💚 Retreat registration closes June 7 💚

As part of the Compassionate Living Retreat at Luvin Arms Animal Sanctuary, participants will now have the opportunity to create enrichment toys and treats for sanctuary residents before distributing them during the sanctuary tour and watching the residents explore, play, and enjoy the items.

Like humans, animals thrive with opportunities for curiosity, stimulation, joy, and play. This hands-on experience offers a meaningful way to connect with the residents while learning how enrichment supports animal wellbeing and quality of life at the sanctuary.

This is one more way the retreat brings compassionate living into direct action and connection.

The retreat also includes:
• yoga and mindfulness
• sanctuary connection and rescued animals
• plant-based meals
• compassionate living workshops
• creativity, reflection, and community

10% of net proceeds support the rescued animals at Luvin Arms Animal Sanctuary. Use code LUVIN10 for an extra 10 percent off.

Joshua Tree with Vegan Basecamp was pure magic.

Our weekend with Vegan Basecamp was such a beautiful reminder of the power of community, nature, and supporting fellow vegan small businesses.

We spent our time together camping under the stars, exploring the incredible scenery of Joshua Tree National Park, sharing amazing vegan food around the campfire, and meeting so many kind, like-minded people from all over the country!

One of the most meaningful parts of the experience was seeing a fully vegan event intentionally created by vegans, for vegans. From the thoughtfully prepared meals to the sense of community and connection, it was a reminder of how special it is when people build the kind of spaces they wish existed.

Supporting fellow vegan small businesses and community builders is deeply important to us, and Vegan Basecamp created something really special.

We are already looking forward to joining another Vegan Basecamp weekend soon.

Be sure to follow Vegan Basecamp and support the amazing community they are building.

💚 Facilitator Spotlight 💚 Sound Healing Session with Ellie Ferguson 💚

As the retreat comes to a close, Ellie Ferguson will guide participants through a restorative outdoor sound healing experience beneath the trees.

Ellie is a counselor, yoga teacher, musician, and sound healer based in Denver whose work is deeply inspired by nature, compassion, and creating spaces that feel grounding and nourishing for community.

During this session, participants will be immersed in a sound bath using crystal singing bowls, vocals, chimes, rain disks, nature sounds, and other healing instruments designed to support relaxation, reflection, and nervous system restoration.

This experience invites participants into a state of entrainment: coming into resonance with sound in a way that can help cultivate calm, creativity, presence, and deeper connection to self.

Rooted in the yogic principle of Ahimsa, or non-violence, Ellie’s work reflects a compassionate approach to healing, mindfulness, and community care.

This session supports:

💚Movement and Mindfulness
Slow down, relax the nervous system, and reconnect with your body through sound and stillness

💚Learning and Connection
Experience the healing and grounding power of collective rest and presence

💚Creativity and Nourishment
Allow sound, nature, and reflection to create space for restoration and ease

Additional limited discounted retreat spots are currently available!
