16th Annual Massachusetts ECKANKAR Campout
Exploring the Spiritual Frontier
Saturday-Sunday, August 16-17, 2008
Camp Wind in the Pines, 89 Parker St., Leicester, MA

Enjoy the company of like-minded seekers who are discovering the spiritual adventures of life.

In central Massachusetts, Camp Wind in the Pines is located just west of Worcester off Rt. 9 on the shores of the Stiles Reservoir. Camp Wind in the Pines has features that only a lakeside camp can offer.

This year our campout offers swimming, boating and a scenic vista along the shoreline of the Stiles Reservoir Dam, indoor and outdoor meeting rooms, and an outdoor fire for campfire chats. There are free showers, and flush toilets for both men and women. On Saturday night there will be a free potluck dinner and on Sunday morning a free pancake breakfast.

Hidden Lessons of Daily Life
“Divine love comes to us in surprising ways, often unrecognized ways. So that when it does come, we do not recognize that the Holy Spirit has spoken to us – to help make our sojourn in this world a little better, a little more enlightening.”
Harold Klemp, The Awakened Heart, p. 90

Your Inner Worlds: Bridge to the Divine
“Whenever Soul reaches the far orbits of the inner planes through Soul Travel, the human heart opens to God’s all-consuming love. It is our very purpose to discover that love.”
Harold Klemp
Past Lives, Dreams, and Soul Travel, p. 164
