Join us for a rich and illuminating weekend with Rev. Dr. Ruth L. Miller as we explore the life, teachings, and enduring influence of Thomas Troward, one of the foundational thinkers behind the New Thought movement.

A retired British magistrate who spent much of his life in Punjab, India, Troward returned from service carrying profound insights into the nature of consciousness, spiritual law, mental causation, and the creative power of thought. His lectures and essays would go on to shape generations of metaphysical teachers and become a cornerstone of modern New Thought philosophy.
​

Through a series of interactive lectures, discussions, and reflective dialogue, Dr. Ruth will guide participants into the depth and subtlety of Troward’s work, helping translate his often dense and philosophical writings into practical and accessible understanding for contemporary spiritual seekers.

MEETING TIMES

  • Friday, June 26th: 5:30pm registration and light refreshments; 6–9pm introductory session
  • Saturday, June 27th: 9am–12pm session, lunch & walk break; 1:30–5pm session, supper break; 6–8:30pm session

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

Through a series of interactive lectures, discussions, and reflective dialogue, Dr. Ruth will guide participants into the depth and subtlety of Troward’s work, helping translate his often dense and philosophical writings into practical and accessible understanding for contemporary spiritual seekers.

Over three days, you will:
  • Explore the spiritual and scientific principles underlying Troward’s teachings
  • Discover how Troward helped establish the metaphysical foundations of New Thought
  • Examine key essays and lectures that continue to influence spiritual philosophy today
  • Engage in meaningful dialogue and inquiry around consciousness, mind, and spiritual law
  • Learn how these teachings can deepen your own spiritual understanding and practice

This immersive gathering offers an opportunity to encounter Troward not simply as a historical figure, but as a profound and visionary thinker whose ideas continue to shape modern spirituality.

​Whether you are new to Thomas Troward or have studied New Thought for years, this weekend will offer fresh insight, intellectual depth, and practical spiritual exploration in a warm and engaging community setting.
