What we’re about
The intent of this group is to keep people informed about the roaming "No Meat & Mingle" vegan potlucks and sometimes other vegan gathering in or near Los Angeles county.
The "No Meat & Mingle" vegan potlucks are a great place for open hearted people to come together in community and share conversation and great vegan food, and to learn about veganism. All people who are respectful to other people are encouraged to attend (you need not be vegan). The "No Meat & Mingle" potlucks are raw friendly which means that both cooked and raw dishes are acceptable but raw dishes are kept in a designated place. We are always looking for new hosts, so if you would like to host an event, please contact the Meetup organizer.
Please keep in mind that as a community we endeavor to be mindful of our impact on the environment and on the hosts/hostesses of our event. To that end we ask that all attendees always bring their own reusable plate/bowl, cup, eating utensils and serving utensils to each party so that there is neither paper/plastic waste nor a dish washing burden for the host or hostess. Please consider making bringing your own eating ware with you be a habit for any potluck or other event you attend where disposable items might otherwise be used.

Vegan Winter Solstice Party & Candlelight Ritual for Animals
Rose's Place, 26109 Veva Way, Calabasas, CA, USYou're cordially invited to our festive holiday party to celebrate the winter solstice with good cheer and join a candlelight ritual to bring light to animals suffering in dark places around the globe. The ritual will include devotional chanting with Devi Daly as sacred witnessing and an expression of compassion.
As the shortest day and longest night of the year, the solstice symbolizes rebirth, renewal, and the return of the light. May our lights usher in a new era of inner peace and peace for all beings!
Program:
6pm Potluck
7pm Candlelight Ritual & Sacred Chants
8pm Solstice Party
Venue:
We're gathering indoors at a private home with plenty of free street parking.
Potluck:
For the potluck, bring a vegan (plant-based raw and cooked foods, no animal products of any kind) potluck dish to share, your own plate/cup/utensils, and an open heart. We will have extra plates and utensils on hand. Be mindful to bring a dish versus a snack or drink so we have plenty of food for everyone.
IMPORTANT: Please bring a meal to feed 4 - 8 people versus a snack or drink so we have plenty of food for everyone.
We welcome everyone, whether you're vegan or not. In the spirit of compassion and to honor animals, we request that all food is vegan and all clothing is free of animal products. For food, that means no flesh, dairy, eggs, or honey in food. For clothes, that means no down, fur, wool, or leather. Please share your delicious vegan dishes and favorite vegan clothes with us!
Ritual:
For the ritual, tea lights will be provided. You're welcome to bring your own candle. Here's an option to purchase vegan candles https://www.etsy.com/search?q=unscented%20vegan%20candle&order=most_relevant.5 attendees
