ECKANKAR Center of Rochester and the Finger Lakes

Experience how the Sound of Soul can open your heart to God’s guidance, bringing greater clarity to your true purpose in life.

Experience the transformative power of the HU chant at our Sound of Soul event. Join us for a 12-minute session of chanting this sacred sound to connect with the divine within yourself. Discover the peace, clarity, and spiritual growth that comes from immersing yourself in the uplifting vibrations of the HU. A facilitator-led spiritual conversation will follow the HU song.

“I would encourage you to be eagles in Spirit, to recognize your heritage as a spiritual being able to rise at will into the higher planes of God. When you live with the song of HU in your heart, you are letting the highest principle in life direct you to the experiences you need.

“The ultimate happiness comes when you are able to move at will between the physical and spiritual worlds as a Co-worker with God.

“This is your destiny; this is your mission.”

—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 25

You are warmly invited to join us for this online Sound of Soul event on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, 12:30–1:30pm. All are welcome!

HU is a sacred mantra, an ancient name for God. HU is a carrier of love between God and Soul. 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.

Explore higher consciousness in the spiritual worlds

Discover Soul Travel as a state of expanded consciousness that awakens deeper awareness of who you truly are as Soul. In this interactive discussion, explore spiritual practices from Eckankar that support inner guidance, spiritual insight, and understanding beyond the physical world. Bring your questions, reflections, and personal experiences as we share and learn together.

“If you can imagine a scene, then you can be there this same instant in the Soul body. That is the Imaginative technique. It may feel as though you are hurtling through space at a breakneck speed, like a rocket, and zooming on a journey to outer space. In fact, though, Soul (you) is motionless. It is shifting Its attention to some higher state. That shifting of attention results in a feeling of fast motion to the material senses.”

—Harold Klemp, ECKANKAR—Key to Soul Travel, p. 17

You are warmly invited to this Eckankar in New York sponsored in-person spiritual discussion on Saturday, February 14, 2026, 1:00 pm–2:30 pm, to be held at 142 Union Street, Hamburg (Unitarian Universalist Church of Hamburg).

At this spiritual discussion you will be able to:
• Practice a spiritual technique to explore dimensions beyond the physical, to help you experience the reality that Soul exists beyond the physical body;
• Gain insights about your own and other’s spiritual experiences in a dynamic, interactive conversation with like-minded seekers;
• Learn about advanced spiritual living courses and techniques available through Eckankar, The Path of Spiritual Freedom.

Open your heart and sing the sacred mantra HU to experience Divine Love.

“HU is your key to your secret worlds. Once you learn to use this key, you will find a blending of your inner and outer worlds. You’ll find yourself filling with love. The teachings of ECK are all about God’s love for you – and also how you can have true love for God.”

—Harold Klemp, What Is Spiritual Freedom? p. 173

Experience how singing HU—a sacred name for God—can fill your heart with divine love and spiritualize your awareness. Join us in singing HU, followed by a welcoming discussion on the spiritual gifts of divine love and how a spiritual viewpoint can help us meet and resolve life’s challenges.
