Discover the Sound of HU to fill yourself with love and connect with Divine Spirit

Experience the transformative power of the HU chant. 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.

“The Sound of God is contained in the word HU, a secret or sacred name for the SUGMAD.

”This word can be used quietly at work, at home, or anytime you face a crisis. After you have done everything you can do, you sing this word quietly, and then stand back and let Spirit take charge.”

—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 68

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.

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.

This event will be hosted on Zoom. You can also join by phone. The phone number and Zoom link will be sent on the day of the event to those who have registered.

In this interactive hands-on workshop, we’ll look into what spiritual software actually is and the history of how it’s evolved over the centuries within the human consciousness.
We’ll discover what version of spiritual software we’re currently running and how to eliminate what may be blocking our spiritual growth.

In this workshop, we’ll explore how:
• Our discoveries and experiences shape our opinions;
• Those opinions become beliefs; and
• Those beliefs can become so solidified that they limit our spiritual growth.

Discover ways to recognize and move beyond these patterns, opening the door to greater spiritual freedom.

Finally, we’ll have an opportunity to reflect on our own patterns and map out a personal path for upgrading our spiritual software.

The workshop will be led by Larry Siegel. This event will be held in person on Saturday, November 6, from 7:00–8:30 p.m. at PianoPiano, 37 West 65 Street, 4th floor, New York, NY 10023

Getting There:
Just a 2 to 3-minute walk from the 66th Street–Lincoln Center Station (#1 train) and a 7 to 10-minute walk from the 59th Street–Columbus Circle Station (A, B, C, D, and #1 trains).

Discover the hidden gifts in every life experience that help lead us to spiritual freedom.

Have you ever felt perplexed by a life experience, sensing that deeper understanding could bring spiritual clarity and inner peace? Join us for a spiritual book discussion exploring Soul Travel and discovering spiritual freedom. Together, we’ll share insights, personal experiences, and perspectives in a welcoming environment that encourages personal exploration and spiritual discovery.

“What is Spiritual Freedom?

“Spiritual Freedom is growing into a state of more godliness. Becoming more aware of the presence of God.

“How do you do this? By becoming aware of the lessons behind your everyday experiences. This is how you grow into a loving awareness of the presence of God.”

—Harold Klemp, The Call of Soul, p. 83
