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!

6:00 pm - 6:50pm 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 questions.

7:00 pm–8:15 pm: Discover Wisdom in the Video Talk by ECK Master, Harold Klemp: Recognizing God’s Help in Your Life
ECK Video Night is a wonderful, relaxed, heart-centered evening in which we watch a special 30-minute edited version of a talk given at a major seminar by the ECK Master Harold Klemp, who was the Spiritual Leader of Eckankar from 1981- 2025. Afterwards, we enjoy a lively spiritual discussion on the themes and ideas presented in the video presentation.

Harold Klemp shares stories of how God’s help in our lives is so commonplace that we often aren’t aware of it. One story involves a spiritual healing of self-forgiveness that enabled a woman to forgive those who had hurt her. Another story is about protection that leads to a greater understanding of the preciousness of life, and the importance of where we put our focus and passion. Are we ready to step into a bigger room of consciousness and discipline? God’s help and love are always at work.

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.
