Plant-Based Eating Support Network Group - Welcome Unit

Everything you need to know about being part of the SNG!

Welcome to the Plant-Based Eating Support Network Group!

Welcome! Watch this short video to learn more about why I’ve created the SNG and what it’s all about…


How it works…

Each month is based on a different theme. On the first Monday of the month, there will be an introductory video that provides the groundwork for the theme and the first challenge of the month. Every week you’ll get a new recipe, a fun challenge to complete, and a tool/tip that is relevant to the theme of the month. This might be a short how-to video, an info sheet or a cooking tip sheet.

Each month there will be a cook-along class, a nutrition webinar, and a skills/small group support class, always with opportunities for Q&A. These will all be live sessions, but if you can’t make it, don’t worry! They will also be recorded so you can watch them later if that’s more convenient.

We also have a monthly Speaker Series to bring different voices and expertise to you. We may feature a plant-based medical or health professional, someone with an inspiring story, cookbook authors or others who can help inspire you and help you on your journey. For more info on the Speaker Series click here.

Throughout the month members are encouraged to share their inspiration, food pictures and of course any questions. Points will be awarded for participation via food photos and challenges completed, and every month the person with the most points will win a fun food-related prize! Here is an overview of what the average month will look like (*please note, this overview is subject to changes).


What does it cost?

Frequently Asked Questions


When does the course start and finish?
A new unit starts on the first Monday of each month. It is ongoing, so you will have access to new information as long as you are subscribed.
How long will I have access to the information for any given month?
You will have access to all content starting with the month you commenced your subscription for as long as your subscription is active. If your subscription runs out and you would like to maintain access for longer, you are welcome to make a special request.
Do I have to wait to the beginning of a new month to subscribe?
Not at all – you can subscribe anytime. If you sign up in the middle of the month and some of the monthly events have already happened all the information of that given month will be accessible to you via recordings through Teachable.
What if I subscribe and I decide the group is not working for me?
Every membership includes a 30-day money-back guarantee. So if you’re not enjoying the PBE Support Network Group, just let me know within 30 days and I’ll be happy to return your money.
What happens after a year if I want to stay involved in the group?
Yes! For the most part I will revisit the same topics after a 12-month period, but content will be renewed and updated, and new recipes offered each week. You are more than welcome to subscribe again for as long as you’d like to be involved!
Can I sign up for just a month or two?
There are 3 options for subscriptions: SUBSCRIPTION PACKAGES: Sign up for 6 months, at a cost of $35 per month ($210 + GST), OR Sign up for 1 year, at a cost of $35 per month – and get a month for free! ($385 + GST) *BEST DEAL* Or, if you are interested in a specific theme, or just want to try it out for a month, you can join a single month for $50 + GST.
What platforms are we using for the Support Network Group?
Most of the content for the PBE Support Network Group will be hosted on Teachable. When you sign up you will be registered for a student account. The platform is very easy to use and there is a short tutorial in this welcome unit to walk you through everything you will need to know to use it successfully. Online live classes and events will be done on zoom and recordings will be lodged in the Teachable platform for members who would like to watch later (or if members want to re-watch sessions). If you would like to attend a live class you will receive a zoom link — again, very user-friendly, but we can walk through any tech issues or questions you may have together. In addition you will have access to the Plant-Based Eating private facebook page, and you are encouraged to continue to use that as a place to post pictures of what YOU are doing, how you are meeting challenges, etc. These two platforms will work in concert, but if you are not on Facebook, don’t worry, you will have access to everything you need in Teachable, so Facebook is just an added bonus.
How much can I participate? What kind of interaction will I get?
You are encouraged to participate as much as possible! The whole point of this group is to help you learn and get inspired, so share what you’re doing in the kitchen (food photos are great!), any cooking or nutrition questions that you may have and any great plant-based recipes that you come across and love. As mentioned above, each month there will be challenges, and you will get points for anything you do to participate in them, with a prize for our #1 participant of the month! The private Plant-Based Eating Facebook page is a great place to do all of this.
What if I'm not on Facebook? Can I still participate?
Absolutely. It is recommended, but not required, that you participate on the private Plant-Based Eating Facebook page. However, you can also leave comments and questions (and send your challenge photos etc) on Teachable or via text message/email to me.
