“We need a politics of conscience — a new era of public discourse in which love is not minimized, the voices of women and children are not marginalized, and the future is not bartered for a pot of unrighteous gold. Love should be our bottom line, in politics as well as in everything else.”
– Marianne Williamson
On April 24, 2014 @ 9am PT WSA is proudly hosting a Live Interactive Conversation with U.S. Congressional Candidate Marianne Williamson.
This is an unprecedented, never before, perhaps never-again special event, in which we will be opening up our lines to our entire membership base AND the general public for a FREE dialogue with a political candidate whose platform reflects the vision of WSA.
Our vision is of a world in which women take ownership of and step into being the leaders that they are; using their voice to powerfully inspire others, thus causing transformation in the lives of their clients, their companies, communities and the world.
Marianne Williamson is at the top of the list when it comes to being a stand for women stepping into their own power and being an advocate for serious change on this planet. She has spent almost three decades walking her talk, exploring the crucial role of women in the world today, determined to wake up humanity and cause the change she wishes to see in the world!
Marianne has already impacted the lives of millions through her writing and speaking, and now she’s entered into a new domain to get her message heard. At the core of her message is the critical need to create a new political paradigm, one in which conscience takes precedence over profit and humanitarian values trump economic ones. This is just one reason why we’ve chosen to share our platform with Marianne…as she is clearly being a demonstration of what we stand for: being at cause in consciously creating a new model for how we operate in the world, shaking up the status quo and questioning everything.

***** Why WSA Is Hosting This Call *****
Why are we choosing to share our platform with a Congressional Candidate? Why Now? Why Marianne?
First things first…This is not a political conversation, it’s an humanitarian one. Marianne’s platform reflects much of what we stand for as an organization…Our vision is of a world in which women take ownership of and step into being the leaders that they are; using their voice to powerfully inspire others, thus causing transformation in the lives of their clients, their companies, communities and the world.
Marianne is at the top of the list when it comes to being a stand for women stepping into their own power and being an advocate for serious change on this planet. She has spent almost three decades walking her talk, exploring the crucial role of women in the world today, determined to wake up humanity and cause the change she wishes to see in the world!
“I believe the wisdom of the heart is the one thing most lacking in politics today – but how can we complain about that if we ourselves aren’t putting it there? We need to make a concerted effort now to turn love into a political force. We need a politics of conscience — a new era of public discourse in which love is not minimized, the voices of women and children are not marginalized, and the future is not bartered for a pot of unrighteous gold. Love should be our bottom line, in politics as well as in everything else.” – Marianne Williamson
We know that we’re in the midst of a serious shift universally, that the predominant mindset, models, methodologies that we’ve been operating inside of as a society are totally breaking down; that these constructs dictated by money and steeped in competition are bankrupt. And, we also know… that while all these systems are crumbling, a new paradigm is emerging, one that is grounded in contribution, collaboration and we believe has women at the forefront.
Marianne has already impacted the lives of millions through her writing and speaking, and now she’s entered into a new domain to get her message heard. At the core of her message is the critical need to create a new political paradigm, one in which conscience takes precedence over profit and humanitarian values trump economic ones. This is just one reason why we’ve chosen to share our platform with Marianne…as she is clearly being a demonstration of what we stand for: being at cause in consciously creating a new model for how we operate in the world, shaking up the status quo and questioning everything.
WSA is engaged in a dialogue around the integration of the feminine into our highly masculine world if we’re really going to cause serious transformation on the planet. Now more than ever before the world needs a resurgence of the feminine energy to balance out the scale.
As an author and speaker, Marianne illuminates her thought-provoking positions on such issues as beauty and age, relationships and sex, children and careers, and the reassurance and reassertion of the feminine in a patriarchal society.
We are committed to women getting their message out into the world, regardless of their platform. We do not discriminate and believe that every woman has the right to have her voice heard.
Marianne’s message is cutting across all class, race, religion, gender and political affiliation.
We say that now more than ever the world needs you. At a time when the world is suffering like never before, we need YOU, the light bearers to step into the spotlight to do what it is that you came here to do…to make the difference you were born to make.
Marianne Williamson is a woman who knows how to get her message out into the world and create a powerful, positive impact that can cause serious transformation. Marianne IS a demonstration of what being a bold leader looks like. We honor her courage for stepping onto the political stage to powerfully and persuasively speak to a generation in need of such healing, and a world so hungry for harmony.
