Choir Director Kay Raplenovich moved to Eureka in 2023 and began searching for a home in a spiritual community. HUUF has claimed her heart and has provided a venue for sharing her art. Before retiring, Kay was a classical singer performing as a recitalist and a soloist in operas and orchestra works. She has taught classical voice at university and in an active home studio as well as directing numerous volunteer choirs. Kay believes that the voice is the expression of the soul with the instrument we carry in our bodies. She has dedicated much of her being to guiding folks to healthy beautiful singing. When not making music Kay loves to gather with her son’s family, garden, weave, cook and walk her ancient dog on the beach.
The Fellowship Choir welcomes anyone who loves to sing; no experience is necessary. The focus of rehearsals will be healthy beautiful singing and will include learning new repertoire for sharing, building the voice of each individual and the collective voice of the ensemble. Sharing ones spiritual journey in song enriches the discovery and weaves the many paths into uplifting beauty. All are Welcome!

HUUF Retreat Registration is Open!
This year join us for 24-hours of connection, laughter, and community hosted right here at HUUF. Camp under the stars or sleep indoors, and settle in for a full weekend of shared meals, meaningful moments, and time together as a community.
What to expect:
- Campfire singing and smores
- A morning meditation and healing sound bath with crystal bowls
- A trip to a local farm to gather fresh vegetables
- A slip-and-slide for all ages
- A Saturday BBQ
- Time to relax, connect, and simply be together
We’re finalizing the full schedule and will share it soon, along with a packing list. Whether you’re new to our community or have been part of it for years, we hope you’ll join us for the whole weekend…and if your schedule only allows for part of it, come for what you can!
Registration fees are kept intentionally low: $25 per adult, $15 per child, free for youth under 4. If you’re able to give a bit more to help cover future retreats, we joyfully welcome your generosity. Pay online here, or leave a check in the Sunday offering basket with “2026 Retreat” in the memo.
We can’t wait to spend the weekend with you.

“Group singing is a powerful catalyst for social change and community building. We sing for the joy of creating something beautiful together in the moment.” Maggie McKnight
Community song circles welcome all voices, bringing together people who love to sing, regardless of experience level. Song circles don’t focus on performing for an audience; instead, learn songs from a variety of traditions by call-and-response, and sing for the joy of creating something beautiful together in the moment. Group singing is a powerful way of connecting with each other, and with something deep within ourselves—and the music we make as we support each other through song call forth the singing voice that is every human’s birthright.
