Texas Esoteric Summit

01/18/2026

Brethren,

While there has been encouraging enthusiasm expressed for this upcoming event, the lack of confirmed registrations has made it necessary for us to cancel it at this time. Several event-related expenses were approaching their due dates, and without sufficient funds from actual signups, we were unable to responsibly move forward.

As a result, the event is cancelled for this year. We may explore the possibility of hosting a similar event next year, but at present there are no plans in place.

Thank you for your interest and understanding.

Fraternally,

Texas Esoteric Summit
