Become the Shab, the Lover of Life

with Bill Elberty and Tom Towhill

“ Every person who loves, even a little, in purity and selflessness, contributes that much to the elevation of the whole of the human race.” ―Paul Twitchell,

The Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad, Books One & Two

Take the wisdom from this chapter of the Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad deep into your heart,

and discover how to serve life without the limitations of the mind.

Bill is a lifelong educator, currently working with teens who have a challenging time in school and with those accelerating into their next step of life. He is a member of the Eckankar Clergy and currently serves as Regional ECK Spiritual Aide (RESA) of Vermont. Bill is a master storyteller and has shared his spiritual journey through stories at Eckankar events around the country. He loves listening to others as they share their spiritual journey. In every case, the gift of his spiritual service is inspired by the stories of those discovering their truth in everyday life. At the seminar, Bill will share what he has discovered through his own personal journey and stories, and perhaps inspire you to find and experience spiritual freedom for yourself.
