The Peaceable Kingdom Conference Launch Conference on Saturday, May 20, 2017, 8:30am-3pm, is the first annual
conference whose goals are to: respect animals’ emotions and intelligence; increase our reliance
on plant-based foods; be kind to Earth, its inhabitants, and ourselves; and, strengthen the human-
animal bond. There is a $20 per person registration fee; and pre-registration is required due to
limited seating.
The featured speakers and exhibitors are prominent Pennsylvanian community leaders in animal
welfare, agriculture, rescue, science, spirituality, and social justice. The Peaceable Kingdom
workshops emphasize the conference goals, invite participants to examine their personal
relationship with animals, and encourage participants to be open to adopting plant-based eating
in small ways.
