4.22 Love Our Earth Festival Highlights

April 27, 2023

Come one, come all to Flow,
Where the wild things grow.
A beautiful farm and animal sanctuary,
Where humans and nature connect in harmony.

The workshops are many, for all ages to shine,
Music and forest therapy amongst the pines,
Yoga in the wild, surrounded by green,
Meditation to calm, a peaceful scene.

Food that nourishes body and soul,
Shared together, makes us whole.
Flow is an oasis, a sanctuary for all,
Where humans and animals respond to nature’s call.

 

Earth Day is celebrated on April 22 each year. More than a billion people around the world come together this day to raise awareness about serious environmental issues that threaten our survival, including climate change, deforestation and biodiversity loss.

 

Act Now!

To support Earth Day, Flow hosted our first Love Our Earth charity festival this year. We invited eco warriors from all over the world who facilitated wonderful workshops, bringing joy, laughter and eco-consciousness to Zhongshan.

Flow’s efforts to reduce carbon footprint included using only biodegradable disposable cups and cutlery, and printing our festival entry tickets on seed paper so they could be planted and grown into sunflowers in 14 days. Guests were encouraged to bring their own water bottles, napkins and tote bags.
