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: What is the Path of Spiritual Freedom? An Introduction to the Basics of Eckankar

Learn if the core concepts of Eckankar align with your spiritual goals.

When you’re encountering a spiritual path for the first time, it can often take a while to understand what it’s really about, but in our fast-paced city, time is of the essence. This event is designed to provide a clear, honest, and joyful introduction to the core concepts that guide all students of Eckankar. This will help you determine if it aligns with your current spiritual goals.

We welcome people from all teachings, backgrounds, and experience levels. Come ready to listen, ask questions, and share your own spiritual journey with others.
