The Eckankar Center of Southwest Florida, in Fort Myers, will host a free spiritual celebration at 11 a.m., May 7, presented by the Florida Satsang Society, a chartered affiliate of Eckankar, focusing on how to reach our God-given potential. Following a 20-minute Community HU Chant using the ancient, sacred word HU to awaken awareness to higher states of consciousness, there will be five minutes of silent personal contemplation and reflection—a simple spiritual exercise that is said to soothe a troubled heart, bring peace, calm, insight and the recognition of spiritual experiences.

People of any background or belief can practice the HU exercise to enhance their spiritual awareness and understanding, and there will be refreshments and conversation. Visitors are welcome to examine a variety of books and also pick up materials and brochures. At 12:30 p.m., there’ll be a special Internet broadcast of the 2017 ECK Springtime Seminar talk by Sri Harold Klemp, the Mahanta, or living ECK master.

Location: 12995 S. Cleveland Ave., Ste. 155. For more information, call 239-482-4034 or visit EckankarInFortMyers on Facebook.
