Seminar Program
What happens at an ECKANKAR Seminar?
Heart-filled Stories.
Eckankar is built on experience!
Books, philosophy, and doctrine have their place,
but it is personal experience that makes a thing real
and brings it to life.
And often the greatest discoveries into love, happiness, and truth,
will come from the simplest moments in our daily lives—if
only we have the eyes to see it—and
a willing heart to embrace it.
The seminar program is filled with people like you
sharing stories that may inspire your own journey
into a grander spiritual awareness.
Workshops to Go Deeper!
Five different workshops will be offered throughout the weekend.
An ECK workshop offers two avenues of discovery.
Outwardly, you'll gain insight by interacting with others,
sharing experiences, questions, and ideas.
But then, to look inwardly,
you will be introduced to the Spiritual Exercises of ECK.
Exploring both the inner and outer parts of yourself
acts like a golden key
to help unlock the mysteries of your life.
Eckankar teaches that you are a unique expression of God's love.
A spark of God!
Creative Arts, Discussion, Sharing, and Fun!
Music and humor will be sprinkled throughout the program,
lest we take ourselves too seriously.
There will be an art display with works from ECK students
from around the region.
And there will be plenty of time to chat, chill, and laugh.

Guest Speakers: Jon and Ilona Goin
Jon Goin grew up in Missouri,
where he found a love for music at an early age.
He discovered the ECK teachings in college,
and later moved to Nashville
to work as a studio musician and songwriter.
He is an audio engineer
and has worked at the Eckankar Spiritual Center
in Minnesota for 36 years.
Ilona Goin was raised in Norway,
where she spent time in nature and at the opera,
and became a member of Eckankar.
She studied classical music and art
before moving to the United States to teach.
She has been the archivist at Eckankar

Both are passionate about Soul's spiritual journey home to God,
