This video by our friend, former horse 'whisperer' Ren Hurst, goes beyond veganism to describe a relationship to animals that requires great self-responsibility. Consider this a spiritual definition of veganism, or as describing a powerful path towards a non-expoitive relationship with animals and each other. Ren is the author of Riding on the Power of Others, and the upcoming Animal Kin: Restoring Connection to Wild Wisdom.

June 10, 2017 Ren Hurst is the founder of New World Sanctuary Foundation, a former horse trainer, and author of two books detailing her profound shift in the way she relates to animals. This is an excerpt of Ren's address during the Veganism and Spirituality panel, which explored the connections between spirituality, morality, and veganism.
