His life and work have been featured in an hour-long PBS special entitled "Diet for a New America." Many of the nation's leading authorities on alternatives in health and ecology have called John's work among the most important events of the century.
The only son of the founder of the Baskin-Robbins ice cream empire, John Robbins walked away from a life of immense wealth to ". . . pursue the deeper American Dream . . . the dream of a society at peace with its conscience because it respects and lives in harmony with all life forms, a dream of a society that is truly healthy, practicing a wise and compassionate stewardship of a balanced ecosystem."
Considered to be one of the most eloquent and powerful spokespersons in the world for a sane, ethical and sustainable future, John has been a featured and keynote speaker at major conferences sponsored by Physicians for Social Responsibility, Beyond War, Oxfam, the Sierra Club, the Humane Society of the United States, the United Nations Environmental Program, UNICEF, and many other organizations dedicated to the public interest. He is the recipient of the 1994 Rachel Carson Award. The widespread media attention he has received has included numerous appearances on Oprah, Donahue and Geraldo, and other national shows. When John spoke at the United Nations, he received a standing ovation.
Ann Mortifee is one of Canadas most distinguished creative and performing artists. Her work has prompted the Vancouver Express to comment: "She has the ability to translate experience into poetry and poetry into song."
In a mysterious and magical way, her path ran parallel to Johns many years before the two met. In 1976 she had a major contract with EMI Records in London and a world tour in the offing. Prompted by the deep inner knowing that to be so prominent would limit her ability to turn inward, she refused the contract. One of her teachers has been Mother Teresa, who showed Ann that it is who you are, not what you do, that creates miracles.
Ann has worked with Bernie Siegel, Marian Woodman, Elisabeth Kbler-Ross, Jean Houston and John Robbins. She has led workshops and spoken as a keynote speaker in Canada, the United States and Europe.
Anns workshops and lectures have been called an experience in compassion. They give strength, develop spontaneity, joy and a sense of possibility to all those attending. She has received rave reviews for her performances from the Vancouver Sun, Toronto Star and The New York Times.
