Dr. Will Tuttle

Dr. Tuttle is the recipient of the Peace Abbey's Courage Of Conscience Award. A former Zen monk with a Ph.D. in education from U.C. Berkeley, he has worked extensively in intuition development, spiritual healing, meditation, music, creativity, vegan living and cultural evolution.

He is the author of The World Peace Diet: Eating for Spiritual Health and Social Harmony, which has been called the most important book of the 21st century: It postulates the foundation of a new society based on the truth of the interconnectedness of all life. It is provocative and transformative.

The premise of the book is that a spiritual perspective and a plant based diet can restore harmony to our planet. "When we cultivate … the consequences of our food choices and conscientiously adopt a plant-based way of eating, refusing to participate in the domination of animals and the dulling of the awareness this requires, we make a profound statement … We become a force of sensitivity, healing, and compassion. We become a revolution of one."

Dr. Tuttle is currently giving a series of lecture presentations around North America on The World Peace Diet. For more information, please visit his beautiful website.

We concluded our great adventure in Colorado where we taught our last two classes- one in Denver and one in Boulder. The Denver class was in Wild Oats Market. There we were treated to the angelic harp playing of Justina, which set a perfect tone for the class.

We would like to extend a deep and heartfelt thanks to all of the students in the 8 classes we offered on the Mainland. We were touched at our reception and how in every town we visited, there was interest in opening a Blossoming Lotus Restaurant.

All are invited to our next vegan potluck sponsored by the Vegetarian Society of Hawaii. The speaker will be William Harris, M.D. who will discuss the raw food diet. He will explain the virtues of raw nuts, seeds, and avocados as components of an optimally healthy raw
vegan diet based on fruits and vegetables.

A vegan for more than 40 years, and author of The Scientific Basis of Vegetarianism,
Dr. Harris is a founding and current director of the Vegetarian Society of Hawaii. Prior to his retirement he was an emergency physician and the director of the Kaiser Permanente Vegetarian Lifestyle Clinic.

Retirement has allowed Dr. Harris to maintain and even increase his physical activity. He swims and does other aerobic exercise daily and continues to hone his trampoline skills. He’s been an active pilot for many years and a skydiver with more than 800 jumps.

The Vegetarian Society of Hawaii is a not-for-profit volunteer organization founded in 1990 to promote human health, animal rights, and protection of the environment by means of vegetarian education. With more than 2000 members, it's among the largest vegetarian societies in the nation. For more information, please visit their website or call 808.337.9977.
