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.

Attuning to the Laws of Life
·OnlineOnline15 attendees from 3 groupsAwaken to the spiritual principles guiding your life.
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, reflect on ideas, ask questions, or simply listen.
“There was a time I thought in terms of life’s problems. Then I tried to dress it up: I was starting to think in terms of life’s issues. Then I upgraded to life’s challenges. And now I realize it’s really life’s opportunities.”
—Harold Klemp, Spiritual Lessons from Living, p. 308
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 us for this online Sound of Soul event on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, 12:30 pm–1:30 pm. All are welcome!
