Our year could not be complete without a special end of year message from our founder and fearless leader, Jane. Her message comes to us from “wet, windy, but not as cold as it should be, England”, at her sanctuary, the house she grew up in as a child. Jane just finished nearly three months of constant travel on the road, doing tours in Canada, the USA, Latin and South America, and then ending her tour at COP21 in Paris. Listen to Jane tell us all the amazing things that happened in 2015, and what we have to look forward to in the coming year and beyond.
