“Cultivating Spiritual Grace”

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.
