The World Peace Diet 8-Week Facilitator Training Program
Module Eight
Bringing the understanding that we have gained in our reading, discussion, and study more fully into practice, we now focus on discovering our unique role in the positive transformation of our society.
In Module Eight, we focus on thriving as an individual example of the compassion, health, and positive change that vegan living calls forth from us. We see more deeply than ever the wisdom of being the change we’d
like to see. We respond to the final assignment, and complete this study of The World Peace Diet, now with more confidence and insight to bring a message of healing to our world as a World Peace Diet Facilitator. This ending is the beginning of a new chapter in our lives, and we give thanks for the precious opportunities we have for learning, sharing, and awakening.

Week 1 – Foundations of Inner and Outer Peace
Chapters One and Two: Food’s Power; Our Culture’s Roots
Results:
* Gaining an empowering understanding of the roots of our culture’s multiple crises.
* Realizing our unique individual potential to contribute to the healing of our world and thus to tap undiscovered reserves of creativity, joy, freedom, and meaning.
* Illuminating both the history and future of our species through the lens of our relationship with animals, and how the quality of these relationships is reflected in our relationships with each other.
Here's What We'll Be Discovering Together:
1. Food as cultural force and psycho-spiritual metaphor.
2. Eating and the culture of denial.
3. The I-Thou vs. I-It sense of self, and the role of meal rituals
4. Our culture as essentially a herding culture, and the significance of this.
5. What is veganism, exactly? What are its roots and its implications?
6. The Pythagorean Principle and its relationship to spiritual awakening and positive cultural change.
7. Why do we eat the foods we are eating?
“Perpetrators and victims are known to exchange roles over and over again in countless subtle and obvious ways. The cycle of violence may span larger dimensions than we in our herding culture would like to admit, and there are many wisdom traditions that affirm that it does. Until we see from the highest level, we had best heed the counsel of every enlightened spiritual teacher from every time: be ye kind to one another.”
