Is this group for you?: As long as you are open-minded, respectful, and value positive actions and interactions, the answer is yes! You might be surprised at how naturally aligned you are with our group’s values, even if you’re early on in your plant-based journey. After all, who doesn’t love animals? Many of us feel a natural compassion towards them and would willingly do simple, low-effort things to help alleviate their suffering.

And it’s not just about animals—our group is also about doing our part for a sustainable future. In today’s world, many people are looking for ways to live more sustainably, even if they’re not entirely plant-based. By joining us, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to contribute to a healthier planet in a relaxed, supportive environment. Lastly, we all care about our health and well-being. A plant-based lifestyle can be a great way to explore new foods, improve your diet, and learn about holistic approaches to wellness. Our events include everything from casual meetups at cafes and restaurants to hikes in nature, all designed to be both enjoyable and good for you, and for the whole world!
What You Can Expect: Our events are as diverse as our members! We host everything from chit-chat meetups at cozy bars, to exploring Zurich’s vibrant food scene in restaurants, to fun outdoor potlucks and picnics, maybe combined with some sports. We also love to venture out to nearby cities to discover new vegan spots. We also plan to organize some easy-going hikes to enjoy the outdoors and hang out with new and old friends.
Our group isn’t just about fun—it’s about making a difference. We will also plan to visit and volunteer at animal sanctuaries and shelters, and to brainstorm innovative ways giving back to our community in ways that are both meaningful and rewarding. These experiences not only allow us to help animals in need but also to connect with each other on a deeper level.
