In honor of the 50th Anniversary of Heart Consciousness Church, HCC Minister and long-time Harbin Quarterly editor, Ann Prehn, created a beautiful 60 page magazine with articles selected from the beloved "Quarterlies" capturing moments in time with bits of history, inspirational characters and a peek inside Harbin life from 1975 through 2025.

We have a limited edition print of this special Quarterly Magazine now available in the Reception office for $30, (while supplies last). Not planning to visit soon? Download the Free PDF E-edition by clicking here. (38MB)

The purpose of our Church is to demonstrate and teach the experience and practice of Heart Consciousness. This purpose informs the loving, accepting nature of our retreat center; it’s what helps to create the “Harbin feeling” you can sense throughout our property, and in each of the services and activities we offer. These include: our welcoming of people of all religions and backgrounds; our focus on nature, with thousands of acres of undeveloped land; our Silent Meditation pools, where everyone is encouraged to turn their attention quietly inward; our clothing-optional policy, through which everyone’s essential humanity becomes so apparent; our policies of declining the use of inebriants, and limiting the use of electronics; our focus on presence and self-awareness through massage and other forms of conscious touch; the healthy foods we lovingly prepare and offer; our yoga classes, dances, celebrations, and rituals… All of these are intended to help us all know ourselves more fundamentally, and to more fully experience, embody, and share the Oneness that we all are.

Harbin’s small yet mighty bookstore offers a collection of well curated titles thoughtfully selected by long time Harbin Bookstore manager, Linda. You’ll find beloved classics as well as brand new favorites and hidden gems touching upon the Spiritual, New Age, Human Potential and Ecological realms. The bookstore is located in the Reservations Office.
