The Little Book of Alpaca Philosophy

The secret to living a better, deeper, more fulfilling life. Or at least, the secret to chilling out just a tiny bit.

Wise, kind, observant and gentle, alpacas are the Dali Llamas of the animal kingdom. Their days consist of quiet contemplation, empathy and sweet-natured interactions with their herd – we have much to learn from them.

So take a deep breath, still your mind and rise above the fray, to learn to live life the alpaca way.
