English term or phrase: finest objective
Students discover how through the practice and application of certain sounds, musical intervals, scales, rhythms, and chants is possible to impact specific areas of the brain and the body, recognizing immediate ways to transform energy patters and emotional states. Through a cross-cultural approach, practitioners of the Yoga of the Voice learn shamanic and ceremonial forms of vocal expressions, like methods of toning and overtone singing, tuning to divine energy through seed syllables, invocations and medicine melodies, enabling them to incorporate these practices in their personal and professional life. The ***finest objective*** is to embody divinity through sound, enhancing vitality, and experiencing the liberating devotional nature of music.

究極の目的
Explanation:
A possibility. Her wording is a bit unusual, but I think she wants to express that this is the ultimate goal or the greatest achievement.

恐らく、「目標と目的」の違いが論点なんだと思います。 
例えば、現時点で偏差値55のA君が東大理Ⅲに入りたいと思っている。「3年連続東大理Ⅲ合格者輩出」という看板を掲げているS塾を見つけ入塾する。 入塾したA君の目的は、「東大理Ⅲに合格すること!」。 但し、現時点で偏差値が55なので、偏差値を77くらいまで上げないといけない。 そしてA君は、「今度の模試で偏差値60まで上げよう」と目標を立てた。目標はその目的を達成するための手段です。

補) 先生が、セラピスト、ヒーラーということであれば、生徒さん(student)の目的は、「癒されたい」「健康になりたい」ということなのでしょう。 目的達成のために定めた目標をこなしていくのでしょうが、finest objectiveまでに書かれているのが当面の目標で、embody divinity throughが「finest objective」だと考えていますが。

「究極の」なら英辞郎にもあります。

問題は、目的と目標の違いです。  

「判断の基準に使うとすれば
目的:成し遂げようと目指す事柄
目標:目的を実現するために設けた目当て
ゴール:目的のための最終的な目印(=目標の最終到達点)
この定義によります。」(著作権侵害とお叱りを受けるかもしれません)

ご参考に。
