COMMUNICATING WITH LOCALS


Some of you may not be familiar with ECETI Ranch and the challenges we are currently facing from within our community and local government. These challenges are happening in a number of areas and we would like to maintain a very low profile at this time. We have many friends in the community, and many who do not understand what we do or who we are. We ask that you keep the reason for your visit low key and not talk about ECETI or your experiences unless you feel resonate with the person you are communicating with. We prefer to stay under the radar on this gathering. (Which is why you will not see this event posted on our website) Thank you for your understanding here it is much appreciated.

This is going to be a very special gathering of souls.. We dont like rules but we find that communicating all of the above at the beginning contributes greatly to the greater good of all! Thank you for your understanding & support..
