Did you know when lions drink, they use the tip of their tongue to flick water upward in a quick, precise motion—up to four times per second! Their tongue acts like a fast-moving scoop, creating a column of water they catch in their mouth. While they can go days without drinking, relying on moisture from their prey, scenes like this—where they pause for a drink, is pretty spectacular! ![]()

Over the course of the workshop, we took time to reflect on where we’ve been—celebrating our wins, learning from our challenges—and looked ahead to where we’re going. We dug into everything from our Vision and Mission to our goals, values, and how we plan to make an impact going forward.![]()

The best part? Every single team member had a voice. The sessions were super interactive and packed with meaningful conversations. Huge shoutout to Maliasili for keeping us energized and engaged the whole time! Their creative facilitation style made the workshop not just productive, but really enjoyable.![]()
