World Peace Diet Study Group

Mondays: 8/2, 8/16, 8/30, 9/13, 9/27 & 10/11 (7:30pm - 9:00pm)

Each class will begin by sharing a delicious meal together. You'll try out tasty vegan dishes; recipes will be shared and discussed, along with food replacement ideas. Inspired by "The World Peace Diet" by Will Tuttle, this class is designed to create open discussion and communication. His is the first book to make explicit the invisible connections between our culture, our food, and the source of our broad range of problems—and the way to a positive transformation in our individual and collective lives. It pulls back the curtain to reveal our culture's hidden shadow and how it lives in us and in all our institutions, and how we can actually transform ourselves and our world. In each class we will discuss a chapter of the book, preview films/documentaries, and explore how to make changes in our eating habits.

Fee per class: $9 or bring a vegan dish
Facilitated by: Chris Cox, Lily Riddle & Dhani Haney
Required Book: The World Peace Diet by Will Tuttle

Books & CD's are available for purchase at World Peace Yoga & Motion Studio.

Testimonials

“I have been attending the World Peace Diet study groups and potluck for more than a year now. I have found the experience more beneficial than I can put into words. I had already transitioned my diet to a vegan diet when I found the group but my thoughts, beliefs and daily lifestyle were still in transition. The community that Anna Ferguson and Mark Stroud have created and continue to give their heart and soul to has completely become my family. I have never felt as much support and love or felt more at home than I do at these meetings and with this community. I feel that it is absolutely essential to have support like this when making this kind of a lifestyle change. Navigating the rest of the not-yet-vegan world can be challenging to say the least. These meetings have become a refuge, a soft place to rest and regain strength and energy. I look forward to these meetings and begin preparing for them with anticipation days in advance. Each meeting is like a joyous reunion with others that understand my thoughts and beliefs, and a celebration of life and the positive impact that our lives can have on the world around us. The book in and of itself is an amazing and inspirational depiction of our current society and what we can each do personally to contribute to the change that we all want to see. We all want peace and this book along with the study group and potlucks are a step on that journey. I will continue to participate in these potlucks every time they are offered; they have become a beautiful part of who I am.” …Rena Becker

“The World Peace Diet study group gave me time to absorb information that I never thought of before. Each session we discussed a couple of chapters and ate some great vegan food. I guess it was learning through the senses. It is mind boggling when you realize what is going on behind the scenes in the food industry. I’m so glad I took this class.” …Christine Kuhr

“Enter into a gentle world, a world where food is cruelty free and spirits are uplifted. Besides the delicious food, there's music, stimulating conversation and support for embracing a compassionate lifestyle. It's enough to make you believe in the upward trend of humanity that all of us are fervently hoping for. Conversations are based on Will Tuttle's amazing book, The World Peace Diet, the most powerful analysis of our cultures current problems and how to solve them.” …Pat Ritz
