Emerson Institute

Emerson Theological Institute is a division of the Positive Living Center of Central California, Inc. It is headquartered in Oakhurst, California near beautiful Yosemite National Park and is under the direction of Dr. Angelo Pizelo, its founder and director. Since its beginnings in 1992, Emerson has promoted an understanding and embodiment of the Universal Principles so that each person can pursue

unlimited spiritual, emotional, intellectual and social potential. Now, over two decades later, Emerson and its many affiliated centers located throughout the United States continue to stand for these principles embodied in its many graduates who have brought New Thought into many occupations and fields of interest. The grads are co-creating at such professions as classroom teaching, art, writing, publishing, adult education, health and nutrition, business, curriculum creation, chaplain and ministerial work. Emerson graduates truly believe that by changing their thinking they can positively change their lives — everything is possible!

(key the drum roll) . . . there is now an easy and great way to give back in grateful wonder, awe, and thankfulness to Emerson. Our miracle worker Dr. Bill has waved his magic wand, and given us the key:

Thank you to everyone who took part in our informational session held on July 15th about the next steps for Emerson Institute and the Emerson New Thought Center. The enthusiasm for the EI mission was great, as were the excellent questions. We are connecting directly with everyone who has expressed interest in taking part as we move forward. If you have not already reached out, please contact one of the ENTC Board members or Dr. Ruth Miller to raise your hand. Contact info is at the end of this message.

There are openings on the ENTC Board of Trustees and the Emerson Institute Board of Regents for well-qualified individuals. If that might be you, please reach out!

The ENTC Roster posted below is a work in progress, and we are already adding in the names and details you've sent along since the meeting.

If you'd like to be on the Roster, or want to receive the ENTC Newsletter, please email to let us know.

Note that we've temporarily set up the membership categories as "Individual" and "Satellite", which hopefully says what we mean. Please give us a couple of days to get your new info in. If something's not quite right, please reply to this email to let us know.

Congratulations to Dr. Clara Mosely and Dr. Seth Pickens from the Guidance Life Center in Los Angeles, a long term Emerson Affiliate, for receiving a grant that is funded to preserve historic Black Churches.

They had a Mural dedication Service that included major drumming, music, speakers 🔊, amazing food, and waving invitations for othes to join with them. The mural is beautiful. We couldn’t be happier for them. We are proud of them. We are blessed to be affiliated with them and the world is blessed by them.
