Our Hen House 6 December 2024 4


Background

Vegan pioneer Victoria Moran discusses her new book “Age Like a Yogi” and explores how yoga’s principle of non-violence (ahimsa) connects with animal advocacy. Drawing from 40 years of activism, Victoria shares how spiritual practices can sustain long-term advocacy while preventing burnout.

Key topics include:

  • Why yoga philosophy naturally leads to veganism
  • Using meditation to process activist trauma
  • Connecting animal rights with spiritual wisdom
  • Sustaining advocacy throughout different life stages
  • Maintaining energy through Ayurvedic practices

Victoria also updates us on Main Street Vegan Academy’s advocate training program and her groundbreaking vegan podcast. Pre-order “Age Like a Yogi” (releasing January 2025) for exclusive access to Victoria’s activism webinar and plant-based cookbook at victoriamoran.com.

ABOUT OUR GUEST

Victoria Moran, featured twice on Oprah and named among VegNews Magazine’s “Top 10 Living Vegetarian Authors,” has authored fourteen groundbreaking books including “Creating a Charmed Life,” “Main Street Vegan,” and her latest, “Age Like a Yogi.” A pioneering voice in veganism since authoring the first traditionally published book on vegan philosophy in 1985, she founded Main Street Vegan Academy and hosts the Main Street Vegan Podcast. Recently inducted into the Vegan Hall of Fame (2023), Victoria is currently co-writing “Miss Liberty,” a feature film about a cow’s escape from a slaughterhouse, and lives in New York City with Thunder, her rescued visually impaired pigeon companion.
