HEALING OURSELVES AND THE PLANET

Health and Sustainability are two sides of the same coin: the more sustainable our lifestyle practices, the healthier the population. However, a truly sustainable lifestyle can only be achieved if our circle of compassion is extended toward every living being on this planet. Veganism is gaining momentum across the globe for very obvious reasons: ethics, of course, and just as importantly, environmental sustainability and maintaining optimal health.

This two-day conference in Pune, the first of its kind in India, aims to highlight the symbiotic relationship between our personal health and that of the planet. One of the simplest and most effective ways to combat these problems is to align our actions with the core value of Ahimsa alive in all of us, especially in India. By recognizing that our personal health and well-being is intrinsically connected to that of all other beings and to the ecosystems and the planet that we collectively inhabit, we can create a foundation of Ahimsa and sustainability. Although the current situation may seem daunting, we have the power to change our present paradigm of destruction to one that promotes life and a thriving planet Earth.

OBJECTIVES:

• To study and implement a holistic approach towards health and sustainability founded upon our core value of non-violence.
• To empower the public to take action (personally, politically, socially, etc) to ensure wellbeing for ourselves and future generations.
