11/6, SF, Holiday Celebrations: Survival Tips, Techniques, and Strategies for Veg*ns

[Guest guest]

The Compassionate Living program examines and presents information related to vegetarianism and living a compassionate lifestyle. This month we will have an informal and supportive discussion about celebrating the holidays as a veg*n, which for many of us means celebrating it with non-veg family and friends.

Our discussion is geared towards supporting vegetarians to understand the holiday, recognize relationship issues, understand emotions, choose how to behave, create a degree of divergence in our meat eating families, and share ideas and strategies to have really good food and a really good time.

Carl Miller will be our guest facilitator. He is a counselor in Marin County and especially enjoys facilitating group discussion. Carl has been celebrating holidays for many years -- not always without ambivalence. Carl, vegan for the last two years, is currently engaged in a study of approaches to increasing empathy and compassion for animals and the environment.
