Past Lives, Dreams, Soul Travel throughout New York

Soul Travel—an experience of wonder and ever-expanding awareness

Learning Soul Travel can mean eye-opening out-of-body experiences. It can also bring greater insight into why events are happening and, unexpectedly, bring a growing sense of being loved. Join others in exploring and discussing the state of seeing, knowing, and being.

The booklet ECK Wisdom on Soul Travel by spiritual master Harold Klemp will be referenced for ideas and insights.

This free discussion class, presented by Eckankar of the Hudson Valley and sponsored by the Julia L. Butterfield Memorial Library, will meet in person and is open to people of all faiths, backgrounds, and beliefs.

Thursday, October 29, 3:00–4:30 p.m.
Julia L. Butterfield Memorial Library
10 Morris Ave., Cold Spring, NY 10516
(Back room)

Facilitators Dr. Cynthia Ligenza and Tom McCoy look forward to meeting and sharing experiences, learning from others, and exploring invaluable techniques that may contain the keys to your highest awareness.

All attendees will receive a complimentary copy of the booklet ECK Wisdom on Soul Travel, for continued exploration at home.

Discover how your unique path through life can teach you to recognize, give, and receive divine love.

Have you ever discovered a deep spiritual lesson in a simple everyday experience or dream? At this ECK Light and Sound Service, experience the uplifting sound of HU, explore how Soul connects with the Light and Sound of God in daily life, and share insights on recognizing divine guidance along your own path to God.

“You will learn that the path to God is not one of a group. You are on this path to God yourself.

“You may be a member of a group that is very large or very small, or you may go all by yourself. But you are on this journey to God. The only important thing on this journey is you and God.”

—Harold Klemp, How to Survive Spiritually in Our Times, p. 23

You are invited to attend an ECK Light and Sound Service, titled “Walking Your Own Path to God,” on Sunday, November 1, 2026, from 11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. All are welcome!

This hybrid (online/in-person) event will be hosted at the ECKANKAR Center of Rochester, located at: 312 West Commercial Street, East Rochester, NY 14445.

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.
