The Alice Sanctuary presents: Veganuary Speaker Series

Join us for the January Edition of the Speaker Series, an intimate afternoon of conversation, connection, and inspiration presented by The Alice Sanctuary and hosted at The Attic.

This thoughtfully curated event brings together voices from across the Calgary vegan and activist community to explore the realities of living with purpose - without burning out. Through short, engaging talks and shared dialogue, our speakers will dive into:

• Mental health within activism
• Health and fitness on a vegan diet
• Building meaningful, in-person connections within the local vegan community

Whether you’re deeply involved in advocacy, newly plant-based, or simply craving genuine connection, this afternoon is designed to leave you feeling grounded, inspired, and supported.

✨ Feature Speakers

• Ben Mazaya - activist
• Ashley Gillies - plant-based fitness coach, Pivot With Plants
• Tawnya Lynn Foster - YYC Vegan Social Group

Plus, browse art for sale by Nick Kirk of All Kinds Ink, with beautiful pieces that reflect compassion, creativity, and care.
