The Center for Spiritual Awakening in Pacific Grove, California, will host a weekend intensive from January 23 to 25, 2026, led by Dr. Ruth L. Miller. The event is based on Miller's book Unveiling Your Hidden Power and focuses on the teachings of Emma Curtis Hopkins, a pioneering spiritual thinker credited with laying the groundwork for the New Thought movement in the United States.
This immersive training offers a concentrated overview of Hopkins's teachings, which emphasize that one's inner life shapes health, peace, courage, creativity, and endurance. Dr. Miller will guide participants through 12 lesson-chapters in approximately 14 contact hours, providing 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 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. As part of the weekend, Dr. Miller will also deliver the message during the Center's Sunday service at 10:00 AM, offering the broader community an opportunity to experience the teachings in a congregational setting.

The weekend 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. Dr. Miller emphasizes the practical nature of the work, stating, "What I love about this work is that it's both mystical and practical. The principles are profound, but the practices are grounded." Additional details about Dr. Miller's work are available on her official website at https://www.ruthlmiller.com.
This event highlights the ongoing relevance of century-old spiritual teachings in addressing modern challenges, suggesting that the human condition remains consistent despite increased distractions. By offering tools for inner transformation and practical spirituality, the intensive aims to help participants move beyond mere survival to a more purposeful and peaceful existence. Space for the event may be limited, and early registration is encouraged.
