Welcome back to the Wanderers of Weird podcast! This week the ladies are celebrating the Spring Equinox and bringing you the history and some ideas for recipes to celebrate!

NON-PROFIT OF THE WEEK:
The Gentle Barn
https://www.gentlebarn.org/
With locations in Santa Clarita, California (30 miles north of Los Angeles), Christiana, Tennessee (40 miles southeast of Nashville), and Dittmer, Missouri (35 miles southwest of St. Louis), The Gentle Barn offers the opportunity to “hug the cows, give the pigs tummy rubs, spend time with the turkeys, and enjoy a beautiful day”. Tickets are donations of $20 for adults and $10 for kids ages 2-12 and under 2 years old is free.
Message from the founders, Ellie and Jay:
We live in a concrete, violent, noisy, high tech, busy world. We have lost our connection to animals, to nature, and most of all, to ourselves. Animals are living lives of torment from beginning to end, their cries are unheard, their pain is unseen, and they are suffering. The rate of heart disease, cancer, obesity, and diabetes has never been higher. The rain forests are being destroyed, we are in a global drought, we are polluting our air, and species go extinct every day. But by having reverence for all life and by reconnecting with Mother Earth we each can change all that. At The Gentle Barn we stand up for the innocent, and we help animals and children alike remember that they matter. We open people’s hearts to the connections with nature. We open people’s minds to what is happening around us. And we inspire people to be an integral part of the solution. Through the stories and interactions with our animals, we can raise future generations to have reverence for all life, protect our planet, live good healthy, happy lives, and we will all be closer to having peace on earth!
We can’t do this work without you and are grateful for your support. Enjoy the website and check back with us from time to time to see what's new. The best way to help is by making a donation, sponsoring an animal or sponsoring a group of school kids, at-risk kids or special-needs kids to come to The Gentle Barn.
