Chanhassen is the international headquarters of Eckankar, a teaching founded by Paul Twitchell in 1965. It exists in most countries throughout the world, and is run largely on a volunteer basis through "ECK Centers". The teaching was first known as the "Ancient Science of Soul Travel" and is now called "The Religion of the Light and Sound of God". The teaching emphasizes the value of personal spiritual and physical experiences as the most natural way back to God and does not advocate reliance on external authority, books or dogmatic beliefs. The term "Soul Travel" is copyrighted by Eckankar. It describes one of the basic tenets of the teaching; soul (awareness or consciousness) can leave the body in full consciousness and travel in other worlds.
Chanhassen is the world headquarters for Snap Fitness, a chain of 24 hour health clubs that operates through franchising. The company was founded in 2003 by Peter Taunton, a health club owner and raquetball pro who was raised Willmar, Minnesota.
