Contemplation Trails
Enjoy the quietude, peace, and beauty! Over two miles of trails offer a chance to restore the natural rhythm of Divine Spirit in your heart.
Along the trails you’ll find signposts with uplifting spiritual quotes and benches where you can sit and take in the natural surroundings, including neighboring Lake Ann.
Visitors often see deer, birds, and other wildlife in the gardens and award-winning woodlands and prairie.
This ECK Temple is a very special place. It’s an outer symbol for the holy temple of God within the heart of all people. Visitors to it often remark upon a presence—a very definite, loving, divine one. The Temple reflects and resonates with the Light and Sound of God, and many people mention this sense of being in a unique, holy place.
Sri Harold Klemp
I have been to many temples in the world, but this is different. Loved it. I felt warmth and serenity. People from all religions are welcome, and there was no pressure to change me. I had a lot in common with the people there, and I enjoyed singing HU.Visitor
