From May 23, 2014, to May 28, 2014, I was fortunate enough to attend Victoria Moran’s Main Street Vegan Academy. This intensive 5 day course trains students to become certified Vegan Lifestyle Coaches and Educators (VLCE). Victoria gathered some of the best vegan educators to help conduct the course. Our instructors, in addition to Victoria, included Dr. Robert Ostfeld, Jennifer Gannett, Sharon Nazarian, Joshua Katcher, Marty Davey, JL Fields, Chef Fran Costigan, Jasmin Singer, Mariann Sullivan, Robert Notter, Michael Parrish DuDell and Robert Cohen. Each person who spoke to us was truly a master of his or her subject. We were instruced on everything from animal rights to performing cooking demonstrations to setting up our own coaching businesses. It is truly a fast paced, information packed course. As stated on the MSVA website, the topics covered during the session were: • History and philosophy of veganism • Basics of plant-based nutrition •
