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: One More Chance, a video talk by Sri Doug Kunin, the Mahanta, the Living ECK Master and Spiritual Leader of Eckankar, originally recorded for the 2025 Indian ECK Soul Adventure Seminar.
Sri Doug tells a story that transpires over 20 years of how he doesn’t know whether a certain man was a bum or an ECK Master and how it took him until recently to understand this man wasn’t looking for a handout but wanting to know if Doug was willing to give up his pride and vanity for his spiritual quest. Sri Doug calls Eckankar, “the path of one more chance and if not today then tomorrow or a 1000 tomorrows. The ECK will always give you another chance.”
You’ll have the opportunity after the half hour talk to share reactions, insights, questions and perhaps recognize the opportunities that await you in the eternity of now— the present moment—the key to discovering who we truly are and who we can become.
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.
We look forward to seeing you on Friday!
