On this Soul Sparks episode, Dr. Will Tuttle—author of The World Peace Diet—breaks down compassion as courageous, practical action. We explore how daily choices around food and lifestyle can amplify inner peace, support health, and uplift collective consciousness. Dr. Tuttle shares a decades-long vegan journey, why cultivating a veganic garden deepens spiritual alignment, and how reconnecting with nature clarifies purpose. You’ll hear a clear, non-preachy case for compassionate living: less competition, more cooperation; less numbness, more awareness. If you’re curious about spiritual practice beyond the cushion—meditation, mindful eating, and service—this conversation brings it down to earth with direct takeaways you can use today.
About the guest :
Dr. Will Tuttle is a musician, educator, and the bestselling author of The World Peace Diet. For over four decades he has taught meditation and compassion-centered living, speaking worldwide on the intersection of spirituality, health, and ethics.
Key takeaways:
Compassion = empathy plus a commitment to act; it’s strength, not weakness, and scales from personal choices to social healing.
Modern culture trains separation and competition; spiritual practice reorients us to shared life and mutual care.
Food is a daily spiritual practice: choosing plant-based options reduces harm and can support clarity, vitality, and coherence.
“Veganic” gardening (organic methods without animal byproducts) builds living soil, grows nutrient-dense food, and reconnects us with nature.
Meditation reveals awareness as our deeper identity; this insight naturally expands compassion for all beings.
Aligning lifestyle with values (diet, work, service) creates inner congruence and steadier purpose.
Cultural change spreads like candlelight—small acts compound into collective shifts in consciousness.
Spiritual paths demand courage: question inherited scripts, release misfit roles, and choose contribution over conformity.
Kindness is practical: see others as subjects, not objects; act to reduce suffering wherever you are.
A compassionate future is realistic when we live our values consistently in daily decisions.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
