Healing Polarisation on Climate Change: Considerations for Effective Vegan Advocacy with Dr Sailesh Rao and Dr Will Tuttle
Healing Polarization on Climate Change: Considerations for Effective Vegan Advocacy
Why Attend?
One of the most potentially divisive issues in the vegan world is the extent to which human behavior impacts the climate. If we are to truly unite, grow, and influence the world beyond us, we must be willing to ask hard questions, hear different perspectives, and seek common understanding.
Â
Join Dr. Sailesh Rao (Founder and Executive Director of Climate Healers), Dr. Will Tuttle (author of The World Peace Diet) and psychologist Clare Mann as they come together—not to debate, but to deepen our understanding, strengthen our compassion, and help us become more effective vegan advocates.
Learn:
- How to explore differing viewpoints within our own movement
- To understand how internal division impacts advocacy
- Tools for effective and respectful dialogue
- To strengthen our resolve to create a kinder, unified vegan world
