Center for Spiritual Awakening Hosts Weekend Intensive on New Thought Principles

The Center for Spiritual Awakening in Pacific Grove, California, will host a weekend intensive from January 23 to January 25, 2026, led by Dr. Ruth L. Miller based on her book Unveiling Your Hidden Power. This immersive training provides a concentrated overview of the teachings of Emma Curtis Hopkins, the pioneering spiritual thinker credited with laying the groundwork for the New Thought movement in the United States. Hopkins taught that one's inner life shapes everything from health and peace to courage and creativity, a truth that remains relevant despite modern distractions.

Dr. Miller will guide participants through 12 lesson-chapters in approximately 14 contact hours, offering an intensive yet accessible journey through metaphysical principles applicable to daily life. "This isn't about collecting spiritual concepts," says Dr. Miller. "It's about remembering what's already within you—your strength, your clarity, your spiritual authority. The weekend is designed for people who know there's more to life than surviving it." The Center for Spiritual Awakening, located at 522 Central Avenue in Pacific Grove, is a metaphysical spiritual community rooted in New Thought and the Science of Mind tradition, offering classes and services that encourage inner transformation.

As part of the weekend, Dr. Miller will deliver the message during the Center's Sunday service at 10:00 AM, providing the broader community an opportunity to experience the teachings in a congregational setting. "What I love about this work is that it's both mystical and practical," Dr. Miller adds. "The principles are profound, but the practices are grounded. It's for the person who's ready to stop postponing their healing, their peace, and their future." The intensive is designed for spiritual seekers, practitioners, and anyone drawn to New Thought teachings, especially those seeking a deeper understanding of metaphysical principles and how to live them with integrity.

Space may be limited, and early registration is encouraged through the event's website. This event highlights the enduring significance of Hopkins's teachings, which emphasize that personal transformation stems from recognizing one's inherent spiritual power rather than external efforts. By focusing on practical applications, the weekend aims to help participants move beyond mere survival to a more purposeful and peaceful existence, reflecting a growing interest in spirituality that integrates ancient wisdom with contemporary challenges.
