Align yourself with the rhythm and wonders of life by vibrating in tune with the Divine Sound current.
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.
“Welcome to the worlds of HU, an ancient universal name for God. This sacred word can spiritually uplift people of any religion, culture, or walk of life. It is freely given—a gift beyond measure.
"HU is the Sound behind all sounds, woven into the language of life.
"It is the wind in the leaves, falling rain, thunder of jets, singing of birds, the awful rumble of a tornado. Its sound is heard in laughter, weeping, the din of city traffic, ocean waves, and the quiet rippling of a mountain stream. It is a word people anywhere can use to address the Originator of Life.
In time you may come to know it as the audible whisper of God's love stirring in your very atoms.”
—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 1

Discover how singing HU can transform your life.
HU is a sacred mantra known as the Sound of Soul. This special Sound of Soul event begins with the opportunity to join others of like heart in a 12-minute HU chant followed by a short contemplation. A facilitator will then lead an open discussion on the spiritual topics that arise after singing HU. The conversation may include some focus on techniques to unlock God’s blessings with the expanded consciousness that occurs when the sound of HU opens your heart.
“The purpose of the Spiritual Exercises of ECK is simply to open a conduit, or a channel, between yourself and the Holy Spirit, which is known as the Audible Life Stream—the wave that comes from the heart of God. From the moment you begin singing HU and looking for truth in this particular way, whether you are conscious of it or not, changes are being made in you.”
—Harold Klemp, ECK Wisdom on Life after Death, p. 64

Join us to experience and discuss the benefits of singing HU!
