What we’re about
This group is open to anyone who is interested in or curious about vegan food and the vegan lifestyle. We plan to host a wide range of fun vegan events both indoors and outdoors. Think potlucks, movies, dinners, dineouts, hiking, camping, baking, recipe exchanges, discussions, sporting events, book clubs, etc. We started this group because we wanted to amp up the frequency and fun factor of vegan get-togethers in the South Bay and the Peninsula.

“THE REAL LOVE: A New Musical” gathers an impressive 40-member cast led by award-winning stars, a 20-piece orchestra, and a team of esteemed composers to present a true love story with all the magic of Broadway. America’s Finest Composers Original songs are written by eminent American composers. Lyrics are based on the profoundly moving poetry of Supreme Master Ching Hai, world-renowned spiritual leader, humanitarian, poet, and artist.
“Believe only in Love.” The musical is inspired by a true story about a woman who is deeply in love with her equally tender husband, a doctor. But as their happy marriage blossoms, a calling propels her to make a heartrending decision – remain with her beloved or sacrifice everything in search of happiness for all humanity. In what seems a destined journey, she embarks on travels through India and the Himalayas, encountering adventure, danger, and surprises along the way. The unforgettable story is sure to bring tears, laughter, and poignant memories to audiences of all backgrounds.For more info about Supreme Master Ching Hai or other shows, please visit this website, www.suprememastertv.com. www.suprememastertv.com
