Healthy Living and Vegetarian Lifestyle
Science of Spirituality advocates a vegetarian diet to improve physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.
It wasn’t too long ago that vegetarianism was looked upon as an unconventional lifestyle choice. No longer!
Today, in homes and restaurants, offices and schools, different types of vegetarianism have become mainstream—accepted, respected, even admired ways of living. Being vegetarian has never been easier or more enjoyable.
We typically invite the public to programs that include:
- vegetarian cooking classes
- workshops and seminars on healthy living
- new recipes and tips for meal planning
- a chance to experience the spiritual benefits of a vegetarian lifestyle
Some choose to be vegetarian because it conserves our planet’s valuable resources. Others, for better health. Still others, out of a regard for all life.
These are all great reasons. But throughout the ages, spiritual Masters have encouraged vegetarianism for an even more compelling reason. They stress that it is one of the cornerstones of a successful meditative and spiritual life.
Bottom line: a fresh, balanced vegetarian diet nourishes our whole person—body, mind, and soul.
Science of Spirituality is the host sponsor of Veggie Fest, a two-day, summer festival for the whole family. Offered as a public service and based on the principle of respect for all life, Veggie Fest is a way of introducing the benefits of a vegetarian lifestyle to the community at large.

“The Year of the Vegan”
The vegetarian diet, including veganism, is fast becoming mainstream, and its popularity intersects gender, age, culture, race, political camps, and economic differences.
Why Vegetarian?
The diet we choose impacts all aspects of our health and affects our environment. People from various backgrounds and cultures have chosen to go vegetarian, and the diet is fast becoming mainstream. In fact, some suggest the question should no longer be “Why are you a vegetarian or a vegan?” but, “Why are you not?”
