Dear friends,
More than ever, it seems that the vegan message of compassion for all, and respect for the sovereignty of both animals and humans, is of critical importance. It is essential to connect with our inner resources of wisdom in the face of the conflicting and deceptive narratives with which we are continually bombarded. Thank you for questioning, and living your life as an adventure of discovery!

In this spirit of adventure and compassion, we like to remind all of us here in the States to turn our clocks back this evening as we go back to Standard Time, and invite everyone to spend the “free” hour we get, or part of it, consciously radiating from our heart the essence of our true and eternal home—love, compassion, joy, and peace—and affirming harmony and kindness for our fellow humans and for all animals and for all beings.

We like to thank the many advocates and angels who helped facilitate our recent 10-day Pacific Northwest Food for Freedom Tour, and in particular the Eugene Vegan Education Network which videotaped our presentation there on Healing Our World.

We will be leaving on November 22 on our cross-country 5-month World Peace Way Tour, with these cities confirmed for the east-bound leg in our micro-van to Florida: Sacramento, Las Vegas, Prescott, Oklahoma City, Tyler, Chattanooga, Atlanta, and then over the winter quite a few cities in Florida, including 2 months on staff giving lectures and concerts at Hippocrates Wellness Institute in West Palm Beach. Please check our continually-updated schedule of upcoming events for details and we hope to see you somewhere along the way!

We are also delighted to inform you of an upcoming vegan tour to Tuscany, northern Italy, in May, led by our long-time friend and colleague, Margarita Restrepo, creator of the terrific vegan magazine, Naked Food, as well as her recently-released book, Universal Guideline for Human Health. Lots of potentially helpful treasures here.

The inspiring and provocative new film by our friends Kip Anderson and Kam Waters, Christspiracy, is now available for viewing online. We are honored to be included in this ground-breaking documentary and highly recommend viewing and sharing it with others.

Finally, we are glad to be working with The Vegan Community, a new platform endeavoring to unify and expand our efforts toward animal (and human) liberation, and encourage everyone to watch our recent video presentation, “Love and Thrive through the Holidays.” The upcoming season can certainly have its challenges for all of us, and the more we can remember our fundamental true nature as an emanation of divine love, the more we can contribute to the much-needed resurrection of our culture.

That’s it for now!

Thanks for shining your light, and may our kindness and truth-speaking be contagious!

PS – Tomorrow, November 3, we will be delivering a lecture presentation here in Sebastopol, CA, on Food as Medicine.  Please join us if you are in the area.
