Who We Are. . .

Karuna For Animals: Compassion In Action, Inc. is an all volunteer, yoga-based, 501(c)3 non-profit organization, whose members seek to promote compassion (karuna), nonviolence (ahimsa) and freedom from suffering (moksha) for animals of all species--including humans! It is our mission to raise awareness and funds for the rights of all animals through a dedicated practice of the science of yoga, the promotion of veganism and vegan education, community outreach, humane education, events, and workshops. It is our hope that our efforts will aid in cultivating the awareness that our differences are not reason to harm, exploit, and enslave. But instead should be cause for great celebration. In the words of our Founder and Executive Director, Erica Settino, "We are all uniquely perfect. And when looking at what really matters, completely the same."

"Compassion may be seen as the highest form of love, for it is the love of the divine whole for all its parts and is reflected in the love of the parts for each other. It includes the urge to act to relieve the suffering of apparent others, and this urge requires us to evolve greater wisdom and inner freedom to relieve suffering more effectively. Compassion is thus both the fruit of evolution and the driving force behind it. Love yearns for greater love." ~ Dr. Will Tuttle 

We hope that you will join us on our peaceful march to end pain and suffering, and instead promote and celebrate the interconnectedness of all beings, great and small.
