**Sound of Soul 11:00 am** In many spiritual traditions, sound plays an important part in uplifting the individual. The sound of HU is a key to open your heart to God’s loving presence in your life. This simple prayer, singing *HU*, can change you. It can open your eyes to see clearly the miracles happening around you every day. Throughout the ages, followers of many spiritual traditions have used the singing of holy words to bring themselves closer to God. In the same way, those who have discovered HU, an ancient name for God, sing it for their spiritual upliftment. Regardless of your beliefs or religion, you can sing HU to become happier and more secure in God's love. You have the potential for greater happiness, love, and understanding. Singing HU can bring these to you—through the Light and Sound of God. Come join us for the Sound of Soul event, where we sing HU for about twenty minutes, followed by a brief silent contemplation. After we can chat and discuss any spiritual questions you may have. **Spiritual Lunch 12:15 pm** For lunch, we bring food to share with each other and have some conversation, cheer and companionship together. **Videos from the 2025 ECK Worldwide Soul Adventure Seminar 1:30 pm** **Changing of the Guard** Harold Klemp announces his successor, the new Mᴀʜᴀɴᴛᴀ, the Living ECK Master. **At the Ocean’s Edge** A new talk by Sri Doug Kunin, the Mᴀʜᴀɴᴛᴀ, the Living ECK Master. ***All are welcome!*** This is a hybrid event, in-person and online.
