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.

Experience the Sound of Soul
·OnlineOnline29 attendees from 8 groupsExperience filling your heart with the Light and Sound of God.
Experience the transformative power of the HU chant at our Sound of Soul event. Join us for a 12-minute session of chanting this sacred sound to connect with the divine within yourself. Discover the peace, clarity, and spiritual growth through the uplifting vibrations of HU. Following the chant, you'll have the opportunity to participate in a facilitator-led spiritual conversation.
“HU, the secret name of God, opens you as a channel for the greater healing of Divine Spirit.
“Every thought, word, or deed either purifies or pollutes the body. This is very important, very powerful, because it deals with your state of consciousness.
“If, at some point, you need an edge for health or for peace of mind, look to what’s coming into your world. Look to your form of music, or your form of news. Be aware of whatever ways you let the external world into your internal world.
“What’s coming in is going to go back out. Then it rebounds like an echo and returns to you. It strengthens and grows to have a very strong influence in your life. This influence can be for either beneficial things or harmful things. So the choice is yours.
“Every thought, word, or deed either purifies or pollutes your body.
“The HU song is a purifier. It will uplift and strengthen you in wisdom and awareness.”
—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 22
Monica Shelmandine, the facilitator for this Sound of Soul Event, is looking forward to sharing the HU with you and exploring the heart-opening power of this sacred mantra. All are welcome!
