What’s happening this Friday
6:15 pm – 6:50pm Sound of Soul Event: Revitalize and Renew with the Sacred Sound of HU.
At a Sound of Soul event, join others in chanting this ancient mantra for about 12 minutes, continuing to allow this uplifting vibration to be experienced in a few moments of quiet contemplation. Afterwards, enjoy an open spiritual discussion on any questions, insights and experiences that you may have.
“If you want to lift yourself to a higher state of consciousness—so that the political issues, the family issues, the social issues of the day do not throw you out of balance, so that you can find a happier, more contented life while you’re living here—sing HU, the most beautiful prayer.”
—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 33
7:00 pm–8:15 pm: You Are the Light, a video talk by Sri Doug Kunin, the Mahanta, the Living ECK Master and Spiritual Leader of Eckankar, originally recorded for the 2025 Dominican Republic ECK Soul Adventure Seminar
In Sri Doug Kunin’s talk to the attendees at the Dominican Republic 2025 Soul Adventure Seminar, he focuses on who we are as spiritual beings growing in consciousness and learning to love as God loves. He explains how Eckankar shares the spiritual laws of life to help raise our vibrations to a different state of consciousness. One story relates that in a dream class taught by ECKists, people connected over their loss of loved ones. Beyond what they were learning about dreams, they were growing in the depth of their capacity to give and receive divine love. As spiritual beings, we have a divine purpose: to love as God loves.
You’ll have the opportunity after the 20-minute talk to share reactions, insights, questions, and perhaps, recognize the power and potential you have as Soul through your own creative imagination.
8:15 pm–9:00 pm: Fellowship
Fellowship is your chance to meet with old friends, meet new ones, and share stories. Sometimes these spontaneous moments are where the deepest connections and conversations happen.
Would you like to create your own Soul Adventure? Guests who attend our event will receive a unique workbook and journal, titled Raise Your Spiritual IQ!, that offers creative techniques and spiritual exercises.
