Dreams and Soul Travel offer us a way to connect with inner truth and find answers to our questions. Have you had a significant dream or an out-of-body experience?
This discussion will be an open forum for sharing spiritual experiences and questions. We will try a spiritual exercise to quiet the mind so the next step in healing the mind, body and heart may be discovered. The spiritual exercise can also help open the world of dreams so they may become another true guide in your life.
Between 7:15 and 8 pm, there will be a HU chant, "Sound of Soul."
Sponsored by Eckankar.

Matt Dickerson
Wednesday, April 24th at 7pm
Through image, video, and story Matthew Dickerson will share some of his experiences as June 2017 artist-in-residence at the stunningly beautiful Glacier National Park in Montana.

The presentation will focus on river and lake ecology and the native fishes of the west slope, most notably bull trout and westslope cutthroat trout, and the impact and future threats from invasive species as well as climate change.
