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.

Love is more than an emotion—it is a spiritual force that can transform our lives. Join us as we explore how giving and receiving divine love can dispel fear, bring greater peace, and support spiritual growth through practical techniques, shared experiences, and meaningful discussion.
“The law of love will bring to you the necessary materials for your spiritual growth and maturity.
“Therefore, if you require love, try to realize that the only way to get love is by giving it, that the more you give the more you get, and the only way in which you can give it is to fill yourself with it until you become a magnet of love.”
—Harold Klemp, The Spiritual Laws of ECK, p. 97

The Power of Divine Love
·OnlineOnline21 attendees from 8 groupsThe key to a more rewarding life is tapping into the unending flow of divine love.
At this Sound of Soul Event, you are invited to join others in chanting HU, an ancient mantra for about twelve minutes, followed by a short time in contemplation. This will be followed by a spiritual discussion in which you are invited to share your spiritual experiences, ideas and ask questions.
“It’s one of the finest and most noble things: human love expressing the divine love.”
—Harold Klemp, The Road to Spiritual Freedom, p. 64
HU is a sacred mantra—the Sound behind all sounds. An ancient name for God, HU is a carrier of love between God and Soul. 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.
Lynne Latella, a long-time student of ECKANKAR warmly invites to join this online Sound of Soul Event on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, 12:30 pm–1:30 pm. All are welcome!

The ECK Masters—Prove it for Yourself!
·OnlineOnline11 attendees from 7 groupsDon't take anyone's word for it—discover practical techniques for experiencing the guidance of the ECK Masters for yourself.
Have you ever wondered about spiritual guidance, overcoming fears, or experiencing greater spiritual freedom? Join us for a spiritual book discussion as we explore problem-solving, ECK Masters, and the journey of Soul. Through shared insights and experiences, discover opportunities for personal growth and deeper understanding.
“The spiritual life is not meant to finally end the succession of problems, for they are given as opportunities for Soul’s unfoldment. What the spiritual student does develop, however, is the inner link with the ECK, the Holy Spirit. Thus, he taps into the Supreme Creative Force that guides him around all the blocks in his path that once defeated him.
“One’s ability to take charge of his own life increases. This is a solid step toward self-mastery and that state of consciousness called the kingdom of heaven.”
—Harold Klemp, ECKANKAR—Ancient Wisdom for Today, (3rd ed.), p. 89
You are warmly invited to attend our online spiritual discussion titled “The ECK Masters—Prove It for Yourself!” that will take place on Sunday, July 12, 2026, from 11:00 am–12:00 pm.
The discussion will be based on Harold Klemp’s booklet ECKANKAR— Ancient Wisdom for Today, chapters 9-12: “Solving Problems,” “Initiations,” “The ECK Masters,” and “The Play of Soul,” pp. 89–126.
It is not necessary to have the booklet before the event as quotes will be provided at the event for discussion. If you are interested in obtaining the booklet, you may get it at your favorite online bookstore or for a free copy https://www.eckankar.org/freebook/wisdom/
