Marianne Williamson
Guest Speaker
For more than four decades, Marianne Williamson has been a leader in spiritual and religiously progressive circles. She is the author of 16 books, four of which have been #1 New York Times best sellers. A quote from the mega-bestseller A Return to Love, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…” is considered an anthem for a contemporary generation of seekers.
Williamson founded Project Angel Food, a non-profit organization that has delivered more than 18 million meals to ill and dying homebound patients in the Los Angeles area since 1989. The group was created to help people suffering from the ravages of HIV/AIDS. She has also worked throughout her career on poverty, anti-hunger and racial reconciliation issues. In 2004, she co-founded The Peace Alliance and supported the creation of a U.S. Department of Peace.
In May of 2024 Williamson’s latest book was published by HarperOne, titled
THE MYSTIC JESUS: The Mind of Love.

Additionally, ten percent of the funds raised will be donated to an organization dedicated to the wellbeing of children, further amplifying our collective impact.
The Love Tower at Ashah is a sacred monument dedicated to inspiring humanity to prioritize love and unity. By housing transformative Music-Enhanced Heart Meditation Experiences and Programs, the tower serves as a global sanctuary where individuals can immerse themselves in the power of music, art, dance, and meditation to cultivate love and ignite positive change in the world.
