BEYOND FEAR
JUNE 3-4, 2011

Charleston, SC… As the world speeds up and chaos ensues, the calling of our hearts is for serenity and peace.The Sophia Institute is pleased to present internationally acclaimed author, lecturer and spiritual teacher, Marianne Williamson for a special weekend focusing on seeking truth and overcoming fear.  Marianne rarely leads retreats on the east coast. This is a unique opportunity to spend an unforgettable weekend with her in an intimate setting.

Marianne Williamson is considered one of the foremost authorities on A COURSE IN MIRACLES. She has written ten books, including the blockbuster A RETURN TO LOVE. Six of her books have been NY Times bestsellers, four of them having hit the #1 spot. Her most recent bestseller is A Course in Weight Loss. She was described in a Newsweek poll as "one of the fifty most influential baby boomers." She has been a popular guest on television programs such as Oprah, Larry King Live, Good Morning America and Charlie Rose. For more information about her, visit her website at www.Marianne.com 

Marianne will focus during the weekend events at The Sophia Institute on taking a sacred journey past the fears that taunt us to the love beyond, learning how to tap into the treasure trove of indestructible Truth that lies at the center of our own hearts to attain inner peace so that we might be a blessing on all the world.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us..."  Marianne’s words - often misattributed to Nelson Mandela's Inaugural address - are considered an anthem for a contemporary generation of seekers.  Contact the Sophia Institute at 843.720.8528 for more information.
