Greetings from the road!
Hope you're enjoying the early summer. Have a few bits of exciting news to share with you:
1 – This Thursday, June 18th, we'll be presenting a free teleconference on The World Peace Diet. This is being graciously sponsored by the Animals & Religion Department of Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, and is open to the first 150 people who call in at 7:00 p.m. Eastern time, 4:00 p.m. Pacific. We are expecting this to fill up quickly, so if you'd like to join us, please call in the number a little early. The number to call is 1-605-475-6333 and the Participant Access Code is 623895. For more details, see

2 – There will be TWO World Peace Diet facilitator training retreats held in 2009. The first will be in Mendocino, northern CA, August 23-25, and the second will be in Cincinnati, OH, October 23-25. The California retreat is being held at the beautiful Stanford Inn By The Sea resort and follows the Vibrant Living Expo where we'll be presenting along with John Robbins, Howard Lyman, Cherie Soria, Happy Oasis, Doug Graham, and many others. The Ohio retreat is being held at lovely Grailville retreat center in Loveland, OH, as part of a terrific larger conference called The World Peace Yoga Conference, featuring Gabriel Cousens, Andrew Harvey, Sharon Gannon, Kali Ray, Harold Brown, Judy Carman, Colleen Patrick-Goodreau, Rae Sikora, Karen Dawn, and many others in the yoga,
spirituality, and vegan movements. Both of these retreats are World Peace Diet Facilitator Training Retreats.
Participants will receive tools they can use to more effectively live, share, and teach the ideas in The World Peace Diet, and will receive a certificate upon completion of the weekend. Feel free to attend, also, if you'd just like to enjoy being with fellow explorers of compassionate, sustainable, and healthy
living in a beautiful natural setting. Gourmet organic vegan meals will be served.

3 – Some of you may have seen my recent article on veganism and the future of
our culture. Here it is: http://crazysexylife.com/2009/
Other upcoming events include several events in southern California – including the biannual Jain Convention on Ecology, and the national Animal Rights Conference, which is always an inspiring and provocative event. See http://www.arconference.org/
Hope you can join us at one of these. We'll also be in northern California and Hawaii in late August and September, and in Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio in October. These events include World Peace Diet lectures, piano concerts with Madeleine's art exhibits, intuition workshops, Sunday morning services,
individual sessions for music & art, etc. Hope you can join us somewhere along the way! Please see our continually-updated tour schedule at www.willtuttle.com/schedule.
Deep thanks to everyone who has worked so zealously and selflessly recently to help our programs and presentations be successful in Georgia, South Carolina, Maryland, Washington DC, West Virginia, Ohio, and here in Chicago. Together we are building a more compassionate world.
