The Center for Spiritual Awakening (CSA) in Pacific Grove, California, will host a weekend intensive from January 23 through January 25, 2026, led by Dr. Ruth L. Miller and based on her book Unveiling Your Hidden Power. The 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 health, peace, courage, creativity, and endurance, a principle 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 event emphasizes practical spirituality, aiming to help individuals stop postponing their healing, peace, and future.
As part of the weekend, Dr. Miller will deliver the message during CSA's Sunday service at 10:00 AM, providing the broader community an opportunity to experience the teachings in a congregational setting. The intensive is designed for spiritual seekers, practitioners, and anyone drawn to New Thought teachings, particularly 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 registration page.
CSA, located at 522 Central Avenue in Pacific Grove, is a metaphysical spiritual community rooted in New Thought and the Science of Mind tradition. The Center offers classes, spiritual gatherings, and weekly services that encourage inner transformation and a deeper connection to divine truth. Dr. Miller's work integrates spiritual wisdom with practical application, drawing from New Thought principles to support individuals in cultivating clarity and purposeful living. More information about her teachings can be found on her official website.
