About us
Are you a spiritual adventurer?
Meet with people of all different backgrounds who share a passion for spirituality—who seek to have actual spiritual experiences, such as significant dreams, out-of-body travel, past-life recall, and encounters with spiritual beings—and to grow from these experiences to bring more meaning, purpose, and joy to daily life. Come share your spiritual experiences—or your desire to have them—in an open, friendly spiritual community.
Our group is sponsored by Eckankar, the Path of Spiritual Freedom. This ancient spiritual teaching offers spiritual techniques and resources for an individual to discover truth for themselves through personal experience. People of all faiths and backgrounds are welcome. Have you had out-of-body adventures, past life recall, or have you seen inner lights or heard inner sounds? Join us to gain new insights into your experiences and understand their spiritual significance.
We offer online and in-person workshops, spiritual discussions, book discussions, group chants and more. Learn creative techniques to further explore our inner worlds and to thrive spiritually.

Find the Joy of Living Life with Grace and Gratitude

At this Sound of Soul Event, you are invited to join others in chanting HU, an ancient mantra for about twelve minutes, followed by a short time in contemplation. This will be followed by a spiritual discussion in which you are invited to share your spiritual experiences, ideas, and questions.
“Graceful living, being gracious, means that you are filled with the blessings of God. And if you are filled with the blessings of God, you will certainly be someone who lives gracefully and graciously with others.”
—Harold Klemp, How the Inner Master Works, p. 1
HU is a sacred mantra—the Sound behind all sounds. An ancient name for God, HU is a carrier of love between God and Soul. Singing HU can bring healing for body, mind, and spirit. It enables you to open your heart to experience the miracles that occur when you give and receive love.
Lynne Latella, a long-time student of ECKANKAR, warmly invites to join us for this online Sound of Soul Event on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, 12:30 pm–1:30 pm. All are welcome!

Resonate with the Sound of HU
·OnlineOnline17 attendees from 8 groupsDiscover the Sacred Sound of HU, an ancient mantra that opens your heart and uplifts you spiritually.
Experience the transformative power of the HU chant at our Sound of Soul event. Join us for a 12-minute session of this sacred sound to connect with the divine within. Discover the peace, clarity, and spiritual growth it offers, followed by a facilitator-led spiritual conversation.
“As you sing HU, listen for a holy Sound. It may come in any number of ways: like the sound of a rumbling train, a singing bird, buzzing bees, a mellow flute, or even soothing guitars.
“It brings joy and wonder.
“The holy sounds are the creative action of the Life Force, the ECK, as It moves atoms in the invisible worlds. The Sound to reach your ears resonates with your state of consciousness.
“While singing HU, imagine the holy Sound of God cascading over you, like a waterfall of sparkling pure waters. It is cleansing the blemishes of spirit.
“The Sound opens a secret path to the joys of love and grace. You find peace, joy, and spiritual freedom.”
—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 70-71
Monica Shelmandine, the facilitator for this Sound of Soul Event, is looking forward to sharing the HU with you and exploring the heart-opening power of this sacred mantra. All are welcome!
