With the boiling hot weather we’re having recently, it’s more important than ever to help feed and hydrate all those who need our help.
Please, please put water and food out to help all of our wildlife 🙏 🙏 By doing this you could be saving many lives ♥️

Im sorry if this picture offends or upsets anyone. This beautiful girl in this photo is dying . She is dying because she couldnt find food or water. A few houses putting dishes of food and water out could have saved her life. The ground is too hard for them to dig for food. This hot weather is here to stay for awhile so please, if you already put dishes out then please top them up throughout the day. If you dont already then please start putting food and water out. If nursing mums cant find food and water her milk will dry up so she will abandon her babies, if those babies arent found then they will die. Its just a simple thing but really can save their lives. Please encourage family, friends and neighbours to do the same . Please dont let another hog lose its life.
Thank you to the lovely people that found her on a green in Marcham and rushed her here.
RIP sweet girl.

Today marks what would've been my mums 56th birthday. I struggle to believe it'll soon be 3 years since I saw my mum last. So much has happened in that time, a lot of which I know she would have loved to have been a part of. Her grandson, Thomas, would have been the apple of her eye.

Obviously, the sale of Lotus completing earlier this year marks a huge milestone. I struggled with selling the sanctuary, not just because of all the work and effort my mum put into it, but it felt like parting with so many wonderful memories we shared there. I know my mum would always say 'memories can never leave us', and it's true. Not a day goes by where I don't think of her. I can't see a cow without my mind racing immediately back to Skye and thinking of what a kind and compassionate lady she was. I'm so lucky to have had her in my life, and I'm sure for those of you who knew her personally, you'll feel the same.

Happy birthday mum, love you ❤️

Brightest Solstice Blessings 🙏🌞🌻
🌞
"The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year. It is a time for us to reflect on our life and be grateful for the blessings we have received and look toward new growth.
Since Springtime until today, the Sun has risen higher & higher into the sky, reaching its peak on this day.
From days of old the coming of summer's light & warmth has been a time for joy, gratitude & celebration. By June, the cold days have passed, flowers are blooming & fruits ripening - Mother Nature has once again fully renewed herself.
The Summer Solstice has always been a time of letting go, of new beginnings & significant endings. It’s the day the Sun reaches its maximum power as well as the day that represents the shorter days that eventually bring Autumn to our lives. Cherish the sun & long summer days while we have them. 🌞
The Summer Solstice is a particularly magical & auspicious day, it is the perfect time to set intentions for the year ahead.
This is a time for celebration where people gather to pay tribute to the magnificence of the Sun, to pray for an abundant harvest, & to harness the powerful energy of our magnificent Sun.
The Summer Solstice is the perfect time to reflect upon all our blessings & express sincere & eternal gratitude.
We can express gratitude for the suns incredible power & strength, knowing it has the sheer ability to create life.
We must also reflect on the fact everything is impermanent, including life itself. Mother Nature represents this to us perfectly with the impermanence of the seasons, the moon and it’s lunar cycle, the planets, the tides, the leaves on trees & flowers on plants.
This is a great time to reestablish your connection to Mother Nature by spending plenty of time outdoors; try to do so barefoot & soak up the great energy from our Earth. You may choose to follow the Sun's procession as the longest day passes; you can pay tribute by burning bonfires, wearing orange, burning sun oils such as orange, benzion, or juniper; and/or decorating an altar with solar images and pretty coloured flowers. 💛🌞💫🧡✨✨✨” Lynn Jolly 2022

Hello Lotus followers,

I just wanted to share a fairly big update with you all.

As you know, Lotus Heart Sanctuary which is based in the idyllic village of Dunvegan on the Isle of Skye, was up for sale after the passing of my mum. Things have taken longer than we may have anticipated to reach a conclusion, however, last week we finally settled everything and completed the sale of the croft. Some of you may be aware my gran also lived in a house on the croft and her property sold in 2023. This meant we were still trying to find a buyer for the rest of the croft. After finally securing the correct buyer, things moved fairly quickly and, on Friday, we handed over the keys to the new owners who have family ties to the village.

As you can imagine, the last number of months have been incredibly bittersweet for me. I was well aware that the logistics of trying to maintain the sanctuary from over 200 miles away wasn't feasible, however, emotionally it has been extremely challenging. I knew this had to be done and it will undoubtedly lift a huge weight from my shoulders and allow me to have some closure from that point of view.

The new owners have intimated that there won't be radical changes, and have already said they plan to keep some small things in place like the names of the Pods and the signage that was put up on them. A wonderful gesture and something that pays homage long term to my mums vision and incredible work.

Whilst the physical location of the sanctuary has now been sold, the team still managing the Lotus pages have a few ideas that we hope to bring to you in the not to distant future that we believe my mum would've whole heartedly approved of.

Thank you again to each and every one of you who supported my mum and the sanctuary, whether it be by volunteering, making a donation(s) or simply just by offering support and words of encouragement. It means the world to us.

Luke.

"The Final Walk"

A worn-out dairy cow named Bella stumbles forward, her frail legs barely holding her weight. She spent years confined in a stall, milked beyond exhaustion, her babies taken away every time she gave birth. She searched for them, cried for them—but they were gone, either to veal crates or the same fate as hers.

Now, she’s loaded onto a truck, her body no longer profitable. The road is rough, and she sways with each sharp turn. The other cows, just as broken, breathe heavily around her. Some collapse under their own weight, unable to stand.

Hours later, the truck stops. The air smells of fear, blood, and metal. Workers prod her forward with electric rods. Bella hesitates. She’s tired. Confused. A loud sound echoes—she sees another cow ahead of her collapse lifelessly.

She doesn’t know what’s coming, but deep inside, she feels it.

A tear rolls down her cheek as she takes her final step forward.

"Nearly 3 million animals are used in British laboratories every year. And the heartbreaking truth? Over 92% of drugs that show promise in animal tests fail in clinical trials. It’s a failure rate that cannot be ignored."

🌍 Today we’re celebrating World Animal Free Research Day.

We're creating a world where no animal suffers in a the name of science. A world where science is not only smarter, but also kinder. And every day, thanks to people like you, we’re getting closer to that goal.

Today we’re celebrating that vision - and the animals, scientists, and supporters who inspire us to keep pushing for change. 💚

We’ve got exciting things happening over the next few weeks - and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Is your dream to be part of a work wonderful animal sanctuary, then this is an amazing opportunity as Eden Farmed Animal Sanctuary Ireland is hiring staff in Kells, Co Meath. 🐾

We are currently interviewing for Animal Care staff at our vegan sanctuary in Kells, Co Meath, Ireland. The successful applicants will become part of our team that cares for between 200 and 250 pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, sheep, goats and cows.

You need to be fit enough to walk the fields several times a day checking on the animals, and capable of carrying out the necessary tasks to ensure they have food, water, and clean houses and barns every day. Work also involves assisting with health care and veterinary visits. Applicants need their own transport and must be flexible enough to fit their working hours around the animals’ needs. Tractor work experience desirable.

In return, we offer a good wage starting at €14 an hour.

Eden offers a very pleasant working environment on a state of the art sanctuary. It is a privilege to be a part of the lives of the animals who have been rescued from exploitation and slaughter to make their home at Eden. Getting to know the personalities and histories of farmed animals is probably the nicest aspect of our work day.

Part of our work includes vegan education which requires a thorough knowledge of the anti-speciesist rational for animal rights.

To apply please complete the application form at the link below and return it by email to [email protected]. Candidates will be short listed for interview.

Note: this is a vegan sanctuary and staff are required to respect our ethos whilst at work. Animal products including food and animal clothing are not permitted onsite.

Closing date: 30th May 2025

Remembering our beautiful little Bodhi who would have been 6 years old today 🌈🐄❤️
Bodhi got his angels wings on January 5th 2020 at just 9 months old. 🌈🐄❤️

Lynn had a real soul connection to Bhodi and was devastated when he passed not long before the move to Lotus Heart Sanctuary. But, Lynn always felt that Bhodi was with her in spirit…she never forgot him and honoured his memory by working even harder to fight for victims of oppression and speciesism 🙏🐾🪷
