Whistler Virtual Vegan Fest June 20th

June 17, 2020 By julia

First off, I hope you are all doing well amidst the firey world we’re all living in at this moment.

I have taken some time to step back from content creation (thank you to those who reached out), and continue to try my best to educate myself more on everything that is Black Lives Matter. With that, moving forward I will now be more proactive in featuring and lifting up the Black Voices in the vegan community. There are many!

That’s what the last blog post is all about.
15 Inspiring Black Vegans You Need to Follow

PLUS, places to donate and Black-Owned businesses to support.

Sending out love and compassion to all of you!

But really, all mushrooms are magical. The benefit But really, all mushrooms are magical. The benefits are endless.

Read on to learn about the world’s first ever mushroom strip 🤯🙌

I’ve been a big fan of this company from the very beginning and even helped out during its startup. Functional mushrooms grown just down the road from me in beautiful Pemberton BC, created by a friend of mine.

I love everything Stay Wyld makes, but these pocket strips are the most convenient and fun way to take your mushrooms on the go.

Have you tried them yet?

So what’s actually in these sugar free pocket strips?

🧠 Energy LST Strip
Lion’s Mane, B12, L-Theanine, and green tea.

💪 Immunity LST Strip
2800mg of 7 functional mushrooms + vitamins, all in one little strip:
🍄 Lion’s Mane — brain power
🍄 Chaga — cellular defence (antioxidant powerhouse)
🍄 Cordyceps — energy & resilience & blood flow
🍄 Turkey Tail — gut + immunity
🍄 Maitake — metabolic support
🍄 Reishi — stress & immune balance
🍄 Shiitake — immune-active compounds

We’re still floating from the Plants. Dance. Love. We’re still floating from the Plants. Dance. Love. Retreat ✨ 
It was everything we dreamed it would be and then some.

We danced kitchen, in the sunshine and in the rain.
We ocean dipped.
We got playfully curious about ourselves.
We learned to trust our intuition.
We supported eachother.
We laughed.
We devoured insanely delicious whole plant foods.
We experienced breath work & a sound bath. 

👟🌱Everyone learned the foundations of plant-based eating and shuffle dancing, all in the name of reigniting their internal spark and bringing home simple ways to pump the lymphatic system and add more plants into their own day-to-day lives. 👟🌱

And the women!! 💗

…Thank you for sharing your stories, for allowing yourselves to be supported, for saying yes to you and your own joy. 

The energy we curated for the weekend truly allowed everyone to feel safe and be exactly who they are.

We’re already dreaming up the next one. 🌱

🙏Endless gratitude to the local businesses who filled our goodie bags with so much goodness:
@staywyldorganics functional mushrooms
@glowchocolates and glitter tattoos
@WildWomenFlourish Magazine
@vandalmerchshop shirts
@wearesevenclothing by @pachavega 

Special thanks to @be.love.be.free for the Intuition and Self Trust workshop and video documentation 🥰🎥

xo your hosts, 
Danielle @pachavega 
& Jules @hookedonplants @hookedonshuffling

Tag a friend you’d love to experience this with, (and where should we take it next?)👇

🌱Menu highlights:
Hand-rolled sushi we made together, build-your-own berry parfait bar, layered raw dessert creation, vibrant Buddha bowls, ceremonial cacao, and a plant-based sharing board to send us off.

✨Itinerary flow: 
Arrive + land. Cacao + opening circle. Shuffle workshops each day in the garden and beach. Culinary sessions in the kitchen together. Breathwork + sound healing. Human Design + self-love. Guided journaling + ocean dip. Integration + closing circle with cacao.
