These four celebrations of life are at the heart of the activities of mankind. Under one form or another, this has been the basis for what people do. As they go through life, they naturally enter these stages, and there is some kind of rite or celebration to help them. Each stage is a rite of passage, a way of coming into being.
Sri Harold Klemp, Be the HU: How to Become a Co-worker with God, p. 238
The Four ECK Celebrations of Life are special spiritual services offered by Eckankar that are officiated by members of the ECK clergy. They are available to ECKists and members of the public. You may request an ECK cleric in your area to perform one of the services for you by contacting the local ECK contact in your area.
The services are free, but the officiating ECK cleric will accept free-will donations.
The ECK Consecration Ceremony celebrates new life and the beginning of a new phase in Soul’s journey home to God. It also celebrates the commitment of the parents to bring a spiritual awareness into the home and the life of the child.

This celebration of life occurs when we find our complement in another person. When two people come together with pure hearts, their marriage is filled with the ECK.

When a loved one translates into a higher realm of existence, leaving the physical realm behind, it’s a time for those who remain to honor this Soul’s continuation, to celebrate eternal spiritual life.

An ECK Spiritual Aide session is a spiritual service conducted by an ECK Spiritual Aide (ESA), a specially-trained member of the ECK Clergy. Though not counseling, an ESA session can help an individual find his own answers to spiritual questions and life situations through the aid of Divine Spirit. An ESA does not offer advice but simply listens as a vehicle for the Holy Spirit.
An ESA session is a free service available to ECKists and members of the public.
