This branch of Eckankar is located on Washington Blvd near the beach, boardwalk and pier. If you're heading south on the 405, get on the 90 freeway going west until Lincoln, then make a right. Take a left soon after at Washington and you'll eventually see the building on your left. Eckankar is a fairly new religious movement with roots in Sufi teachings, among other ancient religions. A core tenet of the religion is the mantra – the word "hu" sung or chanted for extended periods of time until the individual achieves spiritual communion. Visit their website or walk into the Marina Del Rey location if you're interested in learning more about this non-proselytizing religious group.
