Discussion Group Meeting
Presented by local members of ECKANKAR for spiritual seekers to meet, share, and discuss health and healing from a spiritual vantage point — perhaps a higher perspective than you’ve ever imagined.
Are you seeking spiritual answers?
Are you more interested in experiences, instead of beliefs?
Where does healing come from? How do miracles occur? Are there spiritual reasons for illness? Can dreams bring healing? How may healing the past help you now?
FREE
Expect an discussion guided by a 70 page booklet that may open your heart. Expect open-minded people who are interested in each other’s insights and experiences. Feel free to just listen if you like.
Spiritual Wisdom on Health and Healing will continue:
Tuesday, February 17
