Blessing Tree at VegFest Oahu Inspires Attendees to Vision A Better Future

The Blessing Tree at VegFest Oahu grew leaves throughout the festival as attendees wrote their wishes and prayers on paper and attached them to the tree. This piece of the festival was organized by Donna Lay, who transcribed the messages on every leaf so they could be shared here.

Freedom! Infinite Love Peace & Joy

Less Destruction of Hawaiian ʻAina!

I pray for all the souls in need of the messages sent here today…Love is the only way <3

I am hopeful that wonderful events like VegFest will lead to a critical mass of awareness leading to more compassionate relations with our fellow creatures and the planet!
