Massachusetts Metaphysical College

The Massachusetts Metaphysical College was founded in 1887 by William Walker Atkinson, aiming to teach spiritual and mental development. It offered courses in areas like mental science, positive thinking, and spiritual philosophy, emphasizing the power of the mind to influence health, success, and life. While not an accredited institution, it played a role in early New Thought and metaphysical movements, inspiring many to explore personal growth and consciousness expansion. Its teachings contributed to the broader spiritual and self-help movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
