What we’re about
Are you a spiritual adventurer?
Meet with people of all different backgrounds who share a passion for spirituality—who seek to have actual spiritual experiences, such as significant dreams, out-of-body travel, past-life recall, and encounters with spiritual beings—and to grow from these experiences to bring more meaning, purpose and joy to daily life. Come share your spiritual experiences—or your desire to have them—in an open, friendly setting where no one is pushing their beliefs on anyone else.
We'll discuss what these experiences mean to us and share techniques we use to explore our inner worlds. Join us to connect with other like-minded Souls and learn new ways of exploring your inner worlds. We offer informal spiritual discussions, workshops and other events that will help you to explore your inner worlds and to thrive spiritually.
Our goals are to help our members validate their spiritual experiences, understand what their experiences really mean, and gain new and advanced ways of exploring their inner worlds.
Our topics include:
*Meditation and Contemplation
*Soul Travel or Out of Body Experiences
*Finding Your Purpose
*Letting Go of Fears
*Creating Your Reality with the Spiritual Laws of Life
*Accessing Your Own Inner Wisdom
*Spiritual Growth and Transformation
*Angels, Masters, and Inner Guides
*How Past Lives Affect Us Today
*Spiritual Wisdom on Relationships, and many more, depending on the interests of the group.
There is never a cost for coming to and participating in our group meetings--RSVP and just come and enjoy!
Sponsored by members of Eckankar as a community service. Eckankar is an ancient spiritual teaching and a modern-day religion that is a resource for all people, whatever your religious background, to make spiritual experiences an everyday reality in your life.

When you recognize that you are Soul walking a sacred path, you are in God’s presence.
Did you know that the presence of God can be anywhere, not just in a church or temple?
This ECK Light and Sound Service will provide valuable techniques to help us connect with and harmonize with the Divine Sound Current that permeates all of existence, including every individual and every experience. Join us to explore your nature as Soul, experience the power of a HU chant, and have opportunity to share your experiences in a small group discussion. Bring your stories and questions. All are welcome!
“Try to remember that there is a sacred connection between you and God and that this connection makes the ground you walk on holy. And when you are on holy ground, you are in the presence of God.”
—Harold Klemp, How to Survive Spiritually in Our Times, Mahanta Transcripts, Book 16, p. 49
