Workshop and Events

The much-anticipated VegoFest 2023 on 15th October was a resounding success, and Nurtureland was proud to be a part of this incredible celebration of vegetarianism and community.

Hosted by the Vegetarian & Cultural Association Incorporated (VCAI), VegoFest is a one-day event that not only promotes the values behind vegetarianism but also fosters a sense of love, nurture, and connection among its attendees. We were thrilled to set up our stall at this meaningful event, offering two scrumptious items on our menu: vegetarian chicken rice and waffles. In addition to numerous vegetarian/vegan food stalls, the event featured live performances and activities, bringing people together to share in the joy of a healthy lifestyle.

Nurtureland was honoured to share our delicious vegetarian creations with the enthusiastic crowd, and we were inspired by the warmth of the community.

It was a week filled with culinary delights, newfound friendships, and a shared commitment to a greener planet. Nurtureland’s “One Heart One Aspiration” event in Melbourne from September 16th to 22nd, 2023, was a true celebration of the joys of vegetarianism and an educational journey for all involved.

The event kicked off with an ice breaker on Day 1, allowing participants from various corners of the globe to get to know one another. With attendees representing different cultures and backgrounds, the exchange of stories and experiences was inspiring. It became clear that the common thread uniting us all was a passion for vegetarianism and a desire to promote diverse vegetarian recipes.

Days 2 to 4 were dedicated to hands-on cooking sessions, where participants rolled up their sleeves and shared their culinary knowledge. The kitchen was a vibrant hub of activity, with the sizzle of ingredients, the aroma of spices, and the laughter of new friends blending seamlessly. From classic dishes to innovative creations, the exchange of recipes and techniques was invaluable.

The heart of this event was not just in the delicious dishes that were created but in the connections formed. Participants bonded over a shared love for vegetarian cuisine, discovering the beauty of meat-free dishes, and the endless possibilities they offer.

Days 5 and 6 provided participants with the chance to explore the vibrant city of Melbourne. The sightseeing tour allowed attendees to experience the rich cultural diversity and scenic beauty of this stunning city, reinforcing the idea that embracing vegetarianism can be both a gastronomic and ethical journey.

As the event drew to a close on Day 7, participants departed from Melbourne with full hearts, new friendships, and a reinvigorated commitment to the cause of vegetarianism. The “One Heart One Aspiration” event was a testament to the fact that by embracing a vegetarian diet, we can make a positive impact on our planet. It demonstrated that we can come together, regardless of our backgrounds, with one heart and one aspiration to work towards a more sustainable future.
