Hi, everyone! We're less than a week away from the kickoff session of the 2012 Vegan Living Program. I'm so excited!
What is the VLP? It's a five-week educational program organized by Open the Cages Alliance. Five "core" sessions will cover different aspects of a vegan lifetsyle, and seven elective sessions will cover additional topics such as vegan baking, gardening, raising vegan kids, and more!
Twenty-five individuals will pledge to live vegan for the duration of the VLP, with the help of an experienced Vegan Coach. Pledges will also receive a goodie bag full of coupons and samples to make the transition easier, as well as a binder full of information, recommendations, recipes, etc. This is similar to the PAN Vegan Pledge Program we hosted last year, with a few changes and improvements. Check out last year's blog for a program recap, a few recipes, reflections from our pledges & coaches, and more!
Are you signed up as a Coach or Pledge? We'd love to have you share your experience on the VLP blog! Talk to me at the first session, or better yet, email allie (at) openthecages (dot) org to be added as an author.
Unfortunately, we have already received sign-ups for all 25 Pledges. But don't fret! Most of the core sessions and all electives are open to the public. Check out the schedule for more information on the dates, times, and locations. Hope to see you there!
