What’s happening this Friday

6:15 pm–6:50 pm Sound of Soul Event: Revitalize and Renew with the Sacred Sound of HU.

At a Sound of Soul event, join others in chanting this ancient mantra for about 12 minutes, continuing to allow this uplifting vibration to be experienced in a few moments of quiet contemplation. Afterwards, enjoy an open spiritual discussion on any questions, insights and experiences that you may have.

7:00 pm–8:15 pm: Fulfill Your Potential as Soul, a video talk by Sri Doug Kunin, the Mahanta, the Living ECK Master and Spiritual Leader of Eckankar, originally recorded for the 2025 African ECK Soul Adventure Seminar.

Sri Doug talks to all the attendees at the 2025 African seminar, but he shares that the teachings are for you, the individual: your life, your dreams, your journey. He recounts a story to demonstrate how the ECK, Divine Spirit, will work in anyone’s life who opens their heart to it. He explains a beautiful way to sing the HU. No matter how you see the Creator, sing HU as an instrument of this inner music coming through you into the world—without expectation of results. In closing, he shares a comment from Paul Twitchell, the modern-day founder of Eckankar: whether you have just begun to explore Eckankar and perhaps have read just one book, or have passed through all the initiations, you have the full protection of the Master’s power and love.

You’ll have the opportunity after the 20-minute talk to share reactions, insights, questions and perhaps recognize how Spirit is already working in your life.

8:15 pm–9:00 pm: Fellowship
Fellowship is your chance to meet with old friends, meet new ones, share stories, and laugh a lot. Sometimes these spontaneous moments are where the deepest connections and conversations happen. We might even have food too!

Would you like to create your own Soul Adventure? Guests who attend our event will receive a unique workbook and journal, titled Raise Your Spiritual IQ!, that offers creative techniques and spiritual exercises.
