Victoria and me with her lovable dog, Forbes

My dear and amazing friend, Victoria Moran, best-selling author of 13 books on spirituality and veganism, and repeat guest on the Oprah show, produced a wonderful new documentary called A Prayer for Compassion with Filmmaker Thomas Wade Jackson. This award-winning film was featured at several festivals last year after premiering in NYC and London this past March.

And I’m so excited to announce a FREE screening here in Seattle September 11, 2019 as part of the Seattle International Film Festival! It’s sponsored by Heartwood Haven, a nonprofit animal sanctuary and rescue in Gig Harbor, WA, and Shuany Jaine, Esq., Seattle-based attorney, author, and activist.

Here’s a trailer for the film:

This film explores the teachings of compassion at the heart of all spiritual and religious traditions and tours the US, Morocco, and throughout the Indian subcontinent. This award-winning film truly is for everyone and every belief system, and comes at such a critical time when we are all seeking compassion. Come be empowered!

Filmmaker Thomas Wade Jackson

Along with the free screening, there will be free samples of plant-based treats. Filmmaker Thomas Wade Jackson will be there to introduce the movie and conduct a Q&A session afterwards.

The showing is at SIFF Uptown Cinemas in Queen Anne with only 276 seats. They are anticipating a full house, so get your tickets today to ensure seats.

Please join me! I hope to see you there!
