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.

The Healing Power of HU
·OnlineOnline21 attendees from 8 groupsHeal your life by opening your heart to the source of divine love.
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, ideas, and ask questions.
“If at some point, you need an edge for health or for peace of mind, look to what’s coming into your world.”
—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 22
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, August 4, 2026, 12:30 pm–1:30 pm. All are welcome!

The Wind of Change
ECK Center of Central New York, 206 East Seneca St., Manlius, ny, US7 attendees from 6 groupsWhat is your center of gravity in challenging times?
Life brings many changes as we learn to find balance and spiritual freedom with God’s love. At this ECK Light and Sound Service, you’ll experience the sacred sound of HU, discover simple techniques for recognizing how we experience this Divine Love in everyday life, and share spiritual insights in a warm, welcoming setting.
“The Wind from the Mountain, the ECK, occasionally does this to all of us. Just when we think we know exactly what’s coming next, the principle is changed. A change is blowing into our life, and all of a sudden everything is different.
“We may learn something when things go as expected. But I think we learn a more important lesson in how we recover when things go wrong.
“At some point we learn to be gracious enough to accept responsibility for what goes wrong in our life. We know that we did the best we could at that time. And when we can allow others the same charity as we allow ourselves, then we have come a long way on the spiritual path.”
—Harold Klemp, The Eternal Dreamer, Mahanta Transcripts, Book 7, 2007 edition, p. 144
You are warmly invited to attend an Eckankar in Central New York sponsored in-person ECK Light and Sound Service, titled “The Wind of Change” to be held on August 9, 2026, 11:00 am–12:15 pm. Eckankar welcomes people of all faiths and backgrounds.
This service will take place at The ECK Center of Central New York, 206 E. Seneca St., Suite H, Manlius, NY 13104.
