  • For the love of elephants!

    You will learn about elephants that were removed from the captive entertainment industry (zoo’s, circus, etc.) to restart their lives at Global Sanctuary for Elephants in Brazil. If you are thinking about starting an animal sanctuary of any type, you will learn a little bit about what is involved by this professionally produced and brilliant work by everyone involved. Thank you!

  • What an incredible journey!

    I am always so enthralled as I listen to each episode. Knowing so much more about how GSE came into existence just leaves me in such awe. It is an honor to be able to support this most incredible work. Sanctuary is a place of miracles. I look forward to every episode, and I am so eager to hear the next. These podcasts are so beautifully done, and they express so much of the heart of Sanctuary. Thank you.
