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.

“Soul exists because God loves It.
“You are Soul. In Its pure form, nothing is more elegant or regal than Soul, for It is the handiwork of the Creator.
“Yet life is a mystery until we begin to understand that we can be the creators of our own world. In truth, what we are today is a creation of that which we have made from the past. There is a way to change the future.
“Sing HU, this ancient name for God. Open yourself to the guidance, insights, love, and wonder of Divine Spirit raining Its blessings into your life. Silently say, ‘Thy will be done’ with all your trust and gratitude.”
—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 37

“It’s a very humble love; it’s a true love. Don’t look too high, because you won’t find it. The love of God is often very low where no one will look for it. And this is why so few people find it.”
—Harold Klemp, The Slow Burning Love of God, Mahanta Transcripts, Book 13, p. 40

7:00 pm–8:15 pm: Discover Wisdom in the Video Talk, Lessons and Blessings, by Harold Klemp, the Living ECK Master from 1981–2025
ECK Video Night is a wonderful, relaxed, heart-centered evening in which we watch a special 30-minute edited version of a talk given at a major seminar. This Friday, the video-talk is given by the former Spiritual Leader of Eckankar, Harold Klemp. Afterwards, we enjoy a lively spiritual discussion on the themes and ideas presented in the video presentation.
In this video, ECK Master Harold Klemp explores karma, explaining that it is always our own doing—and that blessings and lessons often arrive together in the same experience. In one story, a student of Eckankar shares the HU with a friend and his daughter, both of whom struggle with sleep, while the father also carries a fear of death. The blessing unfolds as they begin sleeping more peacefully; the daughter experiences Soul Travel in her dreams, and the father starts to glimpse life beyond death. In a final account, another ECKist heeds an inner message from Spirit and is blessed by the Inner Master, narrowly avoiding a potential house fire.
8:15 pm–9:30 pm: Fellowship
Fellowship is your chance to meet with old friends, meet new ones, share stories, and laugh a lot. Sometimes these spontaneous moments are where the deepest connections and conversations happen. We might even have food too!
