What we’re about
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 setting where no one is pushing their beliefs on anyone else.
We'll discuss what these experiences mean to us and share techniques we use to explore our inner worlds. Join us to connect with other like-minded Souls and learn new ways of exploring your inner worlds. We offer informal spiritual discussions, workshops and other events that will help you to explore your inner worlds and to thrive spiritually.
Our goals are to help our members validate their spiritual experiences, understand what their experiences really mean, and gain new and advanced ways of exploring their inner worlds.
Our topics include:
*Meditation and Contemplation
*Soul Travel or Out of Body Experiences
*Finding Your Purpose
*Letting Go of Fears
*Creating Your Reality with the Spiritual Laws of Life
*Accessing Your Own Inner Wisdom
*Spiritual Growth and Transformation
*Angels, Masters, and Inner Guides
*How Past Lives Affect Us Today
*Spiritual Wisdom on Relationships, and many more, depending on the interests of the group.
There is never a cost for coming to and participating in our group meetings--RSVP and just come and enjoy!
Sponsored by members of Eckankar as a community service. Eckankar is an ancient spiritual teaching and a modern-day religion that is a resource for all people, whatever your religious background, to make spiritual experiences an everyday reality in your life.

“But before you can dance to the rhythm of life, you have to be aware that there is a rhythm. You have to know when you have bumped into the fence on the left or the fence on the right. And you have to know when you have broken right through the fence and gone completely off the path.”
—Harold Klemp, The Secret of Love, Mahanta Transcripts, Book 14, p. 191

Experience the joy of singing HU!
Come for an inspiring experience of personal chanting and contemplation with the uplifting sound of HU, an ancient mantra that opens the heart to the love of God. Then join in an exploration of the spiritual topics that arise from this inner focus.
“Singing HU, the most beautiful prayer, is a spiritual technique you can use to keep your balance in this world. It can help you keep your perspective.
“HU can protect. HU can give love, HU can heal. It can give peace of mind.
“But don’t expect HU to work as you want, because God’s love, as it comes down and heals, does things its way. You have to have confidence and love in your heart. Sing HU, and a door will open.”
—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 36
You are warmly invited to join us for this online Sound of Soul Event, “Sing HU to Open Your Heart”, on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, 12:30-1:30pm. All are welcome!
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. It enables you to open your heart to experience the miracles that occur when you give and receive love. Singing HU can align Soul with higher states of love, wisdom, and awareness.
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.
