These are pictures from previous events JoAnn has facilitated. This vegan immersion will be a ten hour long retreat and will be limited to a small group of people to make sure everyone has ample time for all their questions to be addressed. All the food will be 100% plant-based and entirely gluten-free, mostly organic, and made without genetically modified ingredients. Nuts and seeds will be used in some of the recipes, and some of the recipes will include soy products too.
We will gather at a private wooded retreat space just outside of Lawrence, Ks. After you register, you will be emailed the address and directions to the location.

"After attending JoAnn's classes for years, I'm still fascinated by the amount of additional knowledge that I always gain from her workshops. As a writer of one of my favorite books, Compassionate Souls, JoAnn Farb's immense expertise in the areas of health and cooking is only matched by her loving heart. I highly recommend JoAnn's work to anyone who seeks more health and vitality. "
John Pierre, Author The Unprocessed 30 Day Challenge Understanding the intersectionality of our health, the environment, and all those who share this planet with us as a social justice cause is an issue whose time has come. The days of compartmentalizing and micro-managing these issues is past. Our future depends upon it. JoAnn Farb is a clear voice in the noise of mixed messages and Orwellian doublespeak."
Harold Brown Former Dairy Farmer helping other farmers transitition to plant-based agriculture.

"Embraced veganism as not only a diet choice, but also as a philosophy of life and an economic and environmental necessity. JoAnn Farb's knowledge of the subject matter is impressive and delivered passionately. I left the presentation changed and willing to re-evaluate some of the choices I have made "
Lee Gross, Retired Federal Reserve Operations Analyst,Programmer, Hummanist, JoAnn is a scientist, an author and a convincing speaker. You will not be the same person after you have heard her presentation."

Whip-smart and articulate, she brings passion and energy to the issues she cares about: family, diet, animals, the environment, and the rights of others. Her voice needs to be heard far and wide, with the certainty that her subject will be well-researched and expertly presented."
