What we do
Our mission is to provide a place where people from all over the world can experience the joy and pleasure of these amazing creatures.
Our reason for building this website incorporates the two main true causes of happiness, as taught by the Dalai Lama.
1. The wish to give happiness to others which can be defined as love.
2. The wish to help relieve others from discomfort caused by feeling of dissatisfaction which we define as compassion.
The result of implementing these two true causes of happiness is the shift from placing self at the centre of our thoughts to putting others in its place. If we focus our thoughts on the well-being of others, the happier we become.
To bring to you these feelings of happiness we hope you will enjoy watching our videos about the many aspects of their lives. You will learn how talking to donkeys connects you into their world, with amazing results. You will learn how to properly care for donkeys that gives pleasure to them and yourself.
We have a very special section Storybook by Sebastian. On his behalf we will be providing stories of his life and adventures as seen through his eyes.
We hope that visiting us provides you with comfort and joy whenever you need it, and even if you don’t.
This is donkey love therapy.
