What’s happening this Friday
4:00 - 6:00: Open House & Individual Spiritual Study
Feel free to stop by and visit. Hosts are available to answer questions, orient you to ECK books or materials, and give you a tour of our home in NYC. If you’re looking for a quiet moment to do a spiritual exercise, read a book, or maybe even meet with a friend, this is a great time to visit. It’s also a great time to learn more about Eckankar if you’ve got questions!

6:15 pm - 6:50pm Sound of Soul Event
You are invited to join others in chanting HU, an ancient mantra, for about twenty 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 questions.

7:00 pm–8:15 pm: Discover Wisdom in the Video Talk by Sri Doug Kunin, the New Living ECK Master: At the Ocean’s Edge

During the 2025 Worldwide Soul Adventure Seminar in Minneapolis in October, Harold Klemp, the spiritual leader of Eckankar for more than four decades, introduced his successor, the new Living ECK Master, Sri Doug Kunin. This leadership transition is one of the most sacred events in the Eckankar tradition. The new Living ECK Master is not simply taking on a role. He is carrying forward a divine responsibility: helping to awaken the God-knowledge already within each of us.
In this video, we will witness the heartwarming introduction from Harold and the inspiring talk by Sri Doug Kunin to introduce a new spiritual era, The Days of Light and Hope.

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!

Would you like to create your own Soul Adventure? Guests who attend our event will receive a unique workbook and journal, titled Raise Your Spiritual IQ!, that offers creative techniques and spiritual exercises.
