Dr. Tuttle will discuss the main ideas form his acclaimed book, The World Peace Diet: Eating for Spiritual Health and Social Harmony, which sheds new light not only on the underlying causes of war, injustice, and exploitation, but also offers valuable insights into precisely how we can each contribute to world peace and a benevolent revolution of consciousness in our culture.  His research and synthesis is based on a new understanding of the far-reaching implications of our food choices, as well as ancient wisdom teachings that have been suppressed in our culture.  Besides offering an adventurous and provocative lecture, Dr. Tuttle will also offer some of the original uplifting and meditative piano music for which he is well known.
