About us
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 spiritual community.
Our group is sponsored by Eckankar, the Path of Spiritual Freedom. This ancient spiritual teaching offers spiritual techniques and resources for an individual to discover truth for themselves through personal experience. People of all faiths and backgrounds are welcome. Have you had out-of-body adventures, past life recall, or have you seen inner lights or heard inner sounds? Join us to gain new insights into your experiences and understand their spiritual significance.
We offer online and in-person workshops, spiritual discussions, book discussions, group chants and more. Learn creative techniques to further explore our inner worlds and to thrive spiritually.

Divine Love—Tuning Into Your Spiritual Compass
·OnlineOnline24 attendees from 8 groupsDiscover your connection to inner guidance and spiritual freedom!
As Soul, each of us have the creative tools to find our way home to God. At this ECK Light and Sound Service, you’ll experience the sacred sound of HU, discover simple techniques for recognizing how we experience this Divine Love in everyday life, and share spiritual insights in a warm, welcoming small-group discussion.
Divine Love is a guiding force that can help us navigate life's joys, challenges, and important decisions. This ECK Light and Sound Service offers spiritual tools, regardless of your path or religion, to awaken greater love and inner guidance. Experience the peace and upliftment of connecting with the Divine by singing HU, an ancient mantra and sacred love song to God.
"There is a wave which comes from God. It is the Voice of God, the Sound Current, made up of both the Light and the Sound. It speaks to us in different ways, sometimes through intuition, sometimes through a messenger speaking for the spiritual hierarchy, like a guardian angel. Sometimes people hear a voice. They’ll say, 'God spoke to me,' or 'The Holy Spirit spoke to me,' but it was actually a guardian angel, one of the many workers in the spiritual realm. They are all working with God, at a certain level.”
—Harold Klemp, Our Spiritual Wake-up Calls, Book 15, p. 176
You are invited to attend an online ECK Light and Sound Service, titled “Divine Love—Tuning Into Your Spiritual Compass,” on Sunday, June 21, 2026, from 11:00 am–12:15 pm. All are welcome!

Come to Know the Reason for Living
·OnlineOnline14 attendees from 8 groupsThe uplifting Sound of HU allows us to harmonize with Divine energy.
Singing HU can awaken the divine state of consciousness within us. We begin with a 12-minute HU chant and a short silent contemplation. A conversation follows during which everyone will have the opportunity to share and ask questions. Join us to learn an easy way to bring the awareness of Soul into your everyday life.
"The odyssey of Soul teaches us to attune to the laws of life. It takes many lifetimes of bumps and bruises before all the lessons of life sink in. And when they do, we are granted the grace to partake consciously of the highest aspects of sainthood.
"These laws speak to the heart, for they tell of the relationship between God and Soul. The Supreme law is love. It gives each person an answer to the ancient riddle of life: What is my purpose here?”
—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 26
The awareness and attunement with the HU allow Soul to become a greater expression of Divine Love. Singing HU can bring healing for body, mind, and spirit. It enables you to open your heart to experience the miracles that occur when you give and receive love.
