2023 ECK Soul Adventure Retreat at Seabeck

“Becoming a Light to Others”

We’re excited to let you know that the Washington Satsang Society is again hosting our annual retreat at the Seabeck Conference Center, located on Hood Canal just north of Bremerton.

An annual event for over 35 years now, our retreat at Seabeck is one of the most cherished ECK activities we do each year. We know many of you look forward to this special time when we come together in spiritual community to enjoy conversation, an uplifting program, and personal contemplative time to reflect on our own spiritual life.

Guest Speaker — Rodney Jones

We are also excited to welcome Rodney Jones as our featured speaker. A gifted musician, teacher, writer, and performer, Rodney has served as a faculty member at both the Manhattan School of Music and The Julliard School in New York City. He first encountered the ECK teachings as a young boy when he happened to see a book by Paul Twitchell. Now an ECK cleric, Rodney speaks and performs regularly at ECK seminars around the world. We warmly welcome him to Washington, and to Seabeck!

Support Youth Attendance

WSS is underwriting the costs for youth and children to help make attendance for families more affordable. There are two ways to donate.

1. On Eventbrite – at the bottom of the ticket list, before you click the “checkout” button, you’ll find an “Add-ons” option for “Supporting Youth Attendance”
2. On our WA ECK website (eckwa.org) – we added a donation page for supporting youth attendance.

Thank you so much for all the love and support you give!

See You There!

We look forward to being together again in our wonderful ECK community. See you there!

With love and thanks, in ECK,
The Seabeck Planning Team
