I hope that all vegans or aspiring vegans have the opportunity at some
point in our lives to live in a vegan community for a while. I have had
this opportunity a few times and it’s been transformative. Many of the
difficulties we encounter in living a vegan lifestyle, for our families
and ourselves, arise because we are basically alone in a culture that
is hostile to our values. I found when I was immersed in large-scale
vegan communities, contradictions and complications evaporated in a
remarkable feeling of inner wholeness.
