MARIANNE WILLIAMSON SPEAKS AND SIGNS HER “WHEN OUR SUFFERING IS SACRED” BOOK AT MYSTIC JOURNEY BOOKSTORE
With so many feeling the understandable stress of the times in which we live, it’s valid to ask how any of us can be happy in the midst of it all.
In her new book TEARS TO TRIUMPH: The Spiritual Journey from Suffering to Enlightenment, Marianne Williamson places our suffering within the spiritual context of the dark night of the soul. Writing of a “spectrum of normal human despair” due to such situations as difficult break-ups, financial or professional loss, and the death of a loved one, Williamson reminds us that such situations, though often difficult, are not mental illnesses and need not be medicalized. In fact, such times in life can be, if contextualized spiritually, crucibles for our greatest spiritual growth. Williamson points to the spiritual wisdom of Buddha, Moses and Jesus, to articulate the spiritual forces that transform rather than merely numb our suffering.
Marianne Williamson is an internationally acclaimed spiritual author and lecturer. Marianne has been a popular guest on television programs such as Oprah, Larry King Live, Good Morning America, Charlie Rose & Bill Maher. Seven of her twelve published books have been New York Times Best Sellers. Four of these have been #1. The mega best seller A Return to Love is considered a must-read of The New Spirituality. A paragraph from that book, beginning “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.
Marianne’s other books include The Law of Divine Compensation, The Age of Miracles, Everyday Grace, A Woman’s Worth, Illuminata, Healing the Soul of America, A Course in Weight Loss, The Gift of Change, A Year of Miracles, and her newest book, Tears to Triumph: The Spiritual Journey from Suffering to Enlightenment, available now.
According to Time magazine, “Yoga, the Cabala and Marianne Williamson have been taken up by those seeking a relationship with God that is not strictly tethered to Christianity.”

RISING TOHOKU FOOD FAIR
The Rising Tohoku Food Fair hosted by Mitsuwa Marketplace presents 2 full days of food and cultural festivities to celebrate the charms of the Tohoku region in Northeast Japan, which can be enjoyed by children and adults. In addition to presenting diverse and flavorful food products originating from the 6 prefectures of Tohoku, there will be a variety of paper craft activity workshops for families such as, coloring, origami, making hanagasa ornaments which can be used as fans, and writing wishes on tanzaku paper, in addition to city-specific dance performances and photo opportunities with city mascots.
Regional dance presentations include performances from Sendai City (Suzume dance), Yamagata City (Hanagasa dance), and Morioka City (Sansa dance); and appearances by festival pageant queen Miss Nebuta of Aomori City’s renowned Nebuta festival.
Photo opportunities with charming and endearing city-specific mascots include: Sendai City’s iconic Musubi-maru who wears a samurai costume and resembles onigiri (rice ball); Fukushima City’s adorable Momorin rabbit who represents Fukushima momo (peaches) and ringo (apples); and Aomori City’s Haneton, an adorable pig wearing a hanagata flower hat and dressed in the local haneto costume.
Two special workshops to create mini Tanabata decorations and wooden Kokeshi dolls will also take place.
Many colorful decorations and posters referencing the various city festivals will be on display throughout the venue, plus pictures of other Tohoku mascots, and a photo panel exhibition of their most famous festivals (Aomori Nebuta Festival, Akita Kanto Festival, Morioka Sansa-odori; Yamagata Hanagasa Festival; Sendai Tanabata Matsui; Fukushima Waraji Festival).
