Explore how karma and past lives affect your life today.

"As you travel to new places, dreams may reveal some past lives you spent there. Such dreams shed light on habits, likes, or fears. They show things gained or lost ages ago. Travel is thus a chance to revisit the foundation of what helped make you who and what you are today.

“So take a trip and be aware."

—Harold Klemp, ECKANKAR—Key to Past Lives, p. 35

Align yourself with the rhythm and wonders of life by vibrating in tune with the Divine Sound current.

Singing HU can awaken the divine state of consciousness within us. We begin with a 12-minute HU chant and a short silent contemplation. A conversation follows during which everyone will have the opportunity to share and ask questions. Join us to learn an easy way to bring the awareness of Soul into your everyday life.

"You can find the path to love, wisdom, and spiritual freedom by singing HU every day, until HU becomes a part of you and you of it.

"You will begin to vibrate in tune with the Sound Current. Once you enter the rhythm of life, you become the Song of HU itself."

—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 77

The awareness and attunement with the HU allow Soul to become a greater expression of Divine Love. 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.

Are you ready to learn spiritual techniques that bring enlightenment in a natural way—from the inside out?

Have you had spiritual experiences that have you seeking answers? Have you attended one of our spiritual online discussions based on a topic that intrigues you, and you want to continue the conversation? Are you ready to discover who you are as a spiritual being?

The Easy Way Discourses are a living road map to spiritual transformation! By becoming a student of ECK and exploring one discourse a month of this wonderful series, The Easy Way Discourses, you will find greater insight into life situations. This unique study series is called a Satsang which is a spiritual forum for ECK students to explore the wisdom of the ECK discourses and will meet monthly to focus on one lesson per month for the next 12 months.

“As you study the teachings of ECK, you will experience a series of changes in your heart and mind—changes that bring more love, joy, and purpose into your life.”

Discover 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 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.

“Occasionally we go to a far world which has a beauty beyond words. There is no true way to describe what is seen. The closest is to say it’s a world illuminated by two golden suns, and everything is seen through a golden veil. When Soul comes here and begins walking into the land of gold, It wants never to return; It wants to go on forever.

“There is a yearning to go even farther, farther than ever before, because the love of God always draws you on.

“But our responsibilities bring us back. And the only way we can ever go further into the heart of God is to face our responsibilities to serve God in this world. This is the paradox that both allows us to grow and gives us the yearning to want to grow.

“Sing HU, and you will find the way to the world of Golden Light that is exactly right for you.”

—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 79

Singing HU can bring healing for body, mind, and spirit, and align soul with higher states of love, wisdom, and awareness.

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!
