If you're in California this weekend, are you ever lucky!
There is an incredible event going on this Saturday and Sunday that has me almost jumping on a plane half way across the world!
First of all, if you haven't seen the life-changing documentaries Cowspiracy or What the Health yet, you've gotta add that onto your TO-DO list right now!
These two films, by Kip Anderson and Keegan Kuhn changed my life! It started with Cowspiracy when I was living in California where fate brought to a mutual friend of Kip's which transpired into hearing about a new film that was causing quite the commotion at the time! It impacted me immediately and I have been eternally grateful for the immense opportunity it gifted to me, seeing the world through new eyes.
See Kip was searching for health. He started off asking questions that lead him to some unexpected answers and that's when this powerful film came to life!
Kip and Keegan (who brought Cowspiracy to the world) decided to keep the ball rolling after the success of their first documentary (Leonardo DiCaprio helped get them launched on Netflix) and went on to produce another film answering the questions that were left wanting.
With the launch of "What the Health", Kip came all the way to Bali and here we are hanging out at Bali Vegan Festival!
Just when I thought I knew it all, this film came in and just shook my world up!
Now I cannot tell you which film is more powerful. They are both so different and so mind-blowing. I cannot recommend them enough!
So, all that said... these guys are putting on a convergence in San Fran THIS WEEKEND!
I'm telling you, this is going to be THE PLACE TO BE THIS WEEKEND!

WHY YOU SHOULD GO?
Obviously as a vegan there is going to be a lot of your tribe there. Movers and shakers of the movement, vegan food, awesome vendors, incredible inspiration...
But what about people that are not vegan? Should they still go?
Oh my goodness a hundred times yes! The information I have seen given at these events is LIFE CHANGING! At Bali Vegan Festival last year, I cannot tell you how many people expressed to me how much of an impact this had on their existence!
If you're not in Cali this weekend, take a look at Cowspiracy and What the Health which are both available on Netflix!
I myself didn't understand anything concerning my food, my health or the environment until I watched these films. I strongly recommend them!
