Searching for like-minded folks on the Eckankar journey couldn’t be easier these days. The official Eckankar website offers a handy “Find a Study Group” feature—just plug in a ZIP code or country, and nearby gatherings pop up, often with contact info for group leaders. Those meetups might happen in community centers, spiritual bookstores, or even cozy living rooms.

Social media has also become a treasure trove. A quick scroll through Facebook’s Eckankar pages or local spiritual meetup groups usually reveals monthly meetups, chanting sessions, and light-and-sound workshops. Instagram hashtags like #EckankarSoulTravel or #EckankarCommunity can point toward regional events or Zoom circles that sprang up in the pandemic and haven’t slowed down.

Local metaphysical bookstores and holistic fairs often host Eckankar representatives—sometimes just a stone’s throw away. Drop by, pick up a Soul Adventure Guide, and mention interest in study groups. It’s a natural icebreaker for connecting with people already walking the path.

Eckankar’s regional offices (for example, the South Atlantic or Pacific Northwest Hubs) maintain their own calendars. A quick Google search for “Eckankar [region] events” usually leads to downloadable PDFs or email newsletters packed with study group listings. Signing up for the global newsletter can also alert to special gatherings, seminars, and Satsangs.

If online gatherings strike the right chord, Eckankar’s virtual Study Groups meet via Zoom or Google Meet. These digital circles often welcome newcomers from around the globe. Joining is as simple as filling out a short form on the Eckankar site—no passport required.

Finally, keep an eye on community bulletin boards—both physical and digital. Sites like Meetup.com or Eventbrite sometimes feature local Eckankar events under spiritual or mindfulness categories. And if any local library or wellness center hosts a “Spiritual Passport” fair, odds are a friendly Eckankar volunteer will be on hand to guide toward the nearest study circle.

Putting one foot in front of the other, whether online or face-to-face, opens the door to conversations about Soul Travel, HU, and the inner Light and Sound—exactly the compass needed for this modern path.
