VIVA-Raw Potlucks:
Our raw vegan potlucks are casual get-togethers where we mostly eat and socialize. We may have a guest speaker presentation, informal group discussion, or show a video/DVD. These potlucks provide a great opportunity to taste new foods; It also is a wonderful opportunity to find ideas for healthy, good tasting recipes to make at home. At these potlucks, we encourage people to focus on incorporating more fruits and vegetables into their recipes while limiting the amount of nuts/seeds, oils, spices and salty substances (i.e. Bragg Liquid Aminos, Nama Shoyu, miso or sea salt). We also recommend as much as possible, organic fruits and vegetables be used.

About VIVA-Raw :
VIVA-Raw is a sub-group of the Vancouver Island Vegetarian Association (VIVA) located in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada dedicated to the education and promotion of a healthy, raw, unprocessed plant based diet . We are a very diverse group . Some people believe in the benefits of all raw food, some would like to include more raw food in their lives, some would like to have a real balance of raw and cooked, and some simply enjoy the company of people who are also dedicated to their health, and the chance to learn from others” experiences.
