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.

Discover the HU, a mantra that can uplift people of any religion, culture, or walk of life.
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.
“Soul exists because God loves It.
“You are Soul. In Its pure form, nothing is more elegant or regal than Soul, for It is the handiwork of the Creator.
“Yet life is a mystery until we begin to understand that we can be the creators of our own world. In truth, what we are today is a creation of that which we have made from the past. There is a way to change the future.
“Sing HU, this ancient name for God. Open yourself to the guidance, insights, love, and wonder of Divine Spirit raining Its blessings into your life. Silently say, ‘Thy will be done’ with all your trust and gratitude.”
—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 37
You are warmly invited to join us for this online Sound of Soul Event on Monday, June 16, 2025, 7:00 pm-8:00 pm. 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.
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.

Sing HU and connect with the Divine Being.
You are warmly invited to join like-hearted people in chanting HU, a name for God, with love for about 12 minutes, ending with a few moments of silent contemplation. Then explore how this simple spiritual exercise, whether in times of trouble or inner peace, leads you to truth—to the Divine Being.
“Times to chant HU include when you are in trouble. When things are not going well at the office, when you’ve had a bad day or someone else is having a bad day and you happen to be lower on the pecking order, you might sing HU.
“It’s a love song to God, a connection between Soul and the Divine Being, the Ancient of Days. If you really care about finding truth, sing HU.”
—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 40
