Kimberly Braun, M.A., CSP, minister and Reiki Master, is bringing her “Call to Compassion Tour” to RVUUF, 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 14. Braun will read from her book, Love Calls, Insight of a former Carmelite Nun (Lulu Publishing Services, 2015). Bring your own stories of compassion, or come just to listen.

The evening will include an inspirational talk, author reading, book signing, Q and A for the curious attendee and an optional video shooting for anyone to share their own story of compassion with the world.

The event is free, but 15 percent of all proceeds from book sales afterwards will go to RVUUF. Check out Braun’s TEDx talk, “Silence Shouts YES,” at https://youtu.be/UeYElShJ0Yk.
