Biography of Annie Rix Militz:
Annie Rix Militz (1856 - 1924), was an American spiritual writer and leader, known for her role as one of the first organizers of the new thought movement. She is mainly remembered as the founder of ""Home of Truth"", an independent denomination of the new thought. Through his writings and teachings, Annie shared his knowledge and experiences on meditation and concentration techniques, helping people improve their approach and reach their goals.
Annie Rix Militz was born in California in March 1856 being the firstborn of Hale and Alice P. Rix. She became a teacher in San Francisco in her thirties and attended a class taught by Emma Curtis Hopkins, known as the ""Teacher of Masters"" of the new thought. During the meeting, Annie experienced a healing of a migraine and deafness in a ear.
