We are a dynamic association founded with the goal of creating an environment where animals, humans, and nature can coexist in harmony.
Our name is inspired by the terms ISI and MUNI, which since ancient times—and still today—refer to sages, ascetics, and seers, figures who embody respect for life and the pursuit of balance with the world around them.
At the heart of our vision is the powerful Buddhist concept of JIVADANA, a principle that expresses generosity towards all forms of life, recognizing the value of every living being and the right of all to exist without suffering. This ideal guides us every day in the care of the animals we welcome, providing them with a safe place where they can live peacefully.
In our shelter, goats, sheep, and other animals from difficult backgrounds find a home. Our commitment is to provide them not only with food and care but also with adequate spaces and an environment where they can express their natural behaviors, free from fear and constraints.
We deeply believe in interspecies well-being, in the possibility of building a relationship based on mutual respect between humans, animals, and the planet that hosts us. Every living being is part of a greater balance, and its protection also involves safeguarding the environment around us. For this reason, we are committed to promoting sustainable practices, reducing our ecological impact, and spreading a culture of awareness and respect towards nature.
Our companions on this journey — Toni, Betta, Saetta, Orietta, Coca-Cola, Enzo, Claudio, Bart the pig, Smoky-boy, Polpetta, Skin, Sam, the Morning Stars, and all the birds — are an integral part of this reality. Each of them has a story, a character, and preferences, and for us, it is essential to respect them as unique individuals, offering them a life of dignity, free from exploitation.
ISIMUNI is more than just a shelter: it is a place where humans can rediscover an authentic relationship with other living beings and with the environment, without hierarchies or domination. Anyone who shares our vision is welcome to support us, get to know us, and be part of this journey towards a more conscious and sustainable coexistence.
On behalf of ourselves and all the inhabitants of the shelter, we wish you long life and prosperity!
