next to the Peace Abbey for the speaker program. Our special

guest

speaker is Will Tuttle, PhD, pianist, composer, educator, and

author of

the highly acclaimed new book, The World Peace Diet: Eating for

Spiritual Health and Social Harmony.

 

He will present the main ideas in his provocative book,

which is the first bookto make explicit the invisible

connections

between our meals and our broad range of problems -

psychological,

social, and spiritual, as well as health and environmental. Dr.

Tuttle

offers powerful ways we can experience healing and peace and

contribute to a positive transformation of human consciousness.

and has taught college courses in creativity, humanities,

mythology,

and philosophy. He has a broad background in both Eastern and

Western meditation traditions, and is a Dharma Master in the Zen

 

tradition. He has performed and lectured widely throughout the

US

and Europe and is a frequent presenter at national conferences.

He

has been writing a regular column for VegNews Magazine since its

 

inception. He has been a vegan and an animal and peace advocate

for

25 years. Dr. Tuttle is devoted to cultural healing and

awakening and

to creating uplifting, healing music. He has created 7

much-loved CD

albums of original piano music. "

 

Acclaim for The World Peace Diet: " I find this book to be the

clearest and most complete case for ethical vegetarianism that I

 

have ever seen. I admire him for the courage and the skill to

state

his case in a very clear and compelling way. A landmark

publication. "

- Rev. Robert J. Brumet

 

" A profoundly insightful and important book, it is sure to be a

catalyst and powerful tool in the evolution of human

consciousness. "

- Satya Magazine

 

" One of the most provocative books I've ever read. This is a

deep book, aglow with insights that penetrate and expose the

complacency of a culture that has strayed painfully far from

compassion. " - John Robbins

 

" The World Peace Diet presents what is probably the most

comprehensive case yet for eating a diet, and creating a

society,

free from cruelty and violence. Its central focus is the idea

that

cruelty to animals (particularly farmed animals) sets a tone in

our

society that plays out in interpersonal violence, war, and

environmental destruction. It is a provocative thesis, one that

merits the attention of all who claim to value life. "
