Houston Marriott South at Hobby Airport

Have you ever wondered if God reaches you through your dreams, past-life recall, and spiritual experiences? Discover practical tools to help you find answers from within.
Spiritual adventurers from all walks of life are invited to attend the 2026 Texas ECK Soul Adventure Seminar, taking place August 7–9 in South Houston!
“Past lives, dreams, and Soul Travel are all a major part of the spiritual journey. However, none alone is its full substance, for beyond them lie the heart and spirit of life. That something is God's Love." —Harold Klemp, Past Lives, Dreams, and Soul Travel, p. 239
Seminar planners designed this event to deliver inspiring spiritual insights and practical methods aimed at helping each person make the most of their lifetime.
A diverse and upbeat program of talks, discussions, spiritual exercises, and creative arts is blended to support seminar-goers and their spiritual journeys. Presentations, resources, and free literature will focus on what Eckankar spiritual leader, Doug Kunin, describes as “awakening the God knowledge already within each of us.”
The event will be hosted at the <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Houston+Marriott+South+at+Hobby+Airport/@29.6573512,-95.259086,1237m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m9!3m8!1s0x864097bb89fe2143:0x85a4feb09ec9ee0e!5m2!4m1!1i2!8m2!3d29.6573466!4d-95.2565057!16s%2Fg%2F1tmxrdcc?authuser=0&amp;entry=ttu&amp;g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDYxNi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Houston Marriott South at Hobby Airport</a>. For full seminar details, visit <a href="https://eckankar-texas.org/SoulAdventure." target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Eckankar-Texas.org/SoulAdventure</a>
or leave a message at 888-I-AM-SOUL for a callback. Se habla español.
Newcomers may attend the seminar free as guests. Preregistration is optional. You may drop in or out on your schedule. Parking is free for all attendees. Please ignore any parking lot QR codes requesting payment, as accidental payments cannot be refunded.
The weekend program will include two events tailored for seminar guests. The first is a “liftoff” event:
Friday, August 7 ● 7:00–8:30 p.m. (On-Site Registration 5:00–9:00 p.m.)
"Curious About Past Lives, Dreams, and Soul Travel?—
Learn More About Eckankar”
This relaxed “meet and greet” gathering will include informal discussions, in English and Spanish, offering participants opportunities to explore individual questions related to spirituality and personal growth. The conversations will be complemented by short talks and video presentations.
Saturday, August 8 ● 1:30–3:00 p.m.
“Discover the Hidden You”
A Self-Discovery Forum
Participants can explore how to:
● Find and weave threads from past lives to harvest lessons for today
● Awaken to the spiritual gifts our dreams carry
● Go beyond traditional meditation with “inner-active” Soul Travel approaches that enable the natural expansion of consciousness
For those unable to attend the in-person forum, an online Self-Discovery Forum will run concurrently via Zoom. <a href="https://zoom.us/meeting/register/6YGKgtjDRs-9_9gMJajMug#/registration" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Click here for Zoom registration.</a>
Both self-discovery forums will feature a key video talk by Doug Kunin: The Quest for God Consciousness.
****
At-the-door registration opens at 5:00 p.m., August 7.
We look forward to seeing you!
Eckankar in Texas

The Health Museum

The Health Museum, an interactive health science museum located in the heart of the Houston Museum District, will debut their newest exhibition&nbsp;The Fatherhood Effect&nbsp;as part of the Healing Arts Program at a preview party on Friday,&nbsp;August 14, 2026,&nbsp;from 6-8 p.m. Six awards will be presented during the reception at 7 p.m.
The exhibition will open to the public on Saturday, August 15, 2026, and will remain on display at The Health Museum until January 27, 2027.
Through an open call for art, The Health Museum received powerful submissions of visual art&nbsp;that&nbsp;positioned fatherhood as a public health approach to healthier living. By elevating local stories and lived experiences, the exhibition invited reflection on how fatherhood has evolved over the past three decades—and how meaningful, engaged fatherhood contributes to healthier children, stronger families, and more connected communities.
Through the arts and public health perspective,&nbsp;The Fatherhood Effect&nbsp;highlights fathers as present, nurturing, and deeply involved in caregiving. The exhibition challenges outdated stereotypes that define fathers solely as providers, and instead emphasizes care, emotional connection, and shared responsibility as essential elements of fatherhood.
The artwork selection was juried by community leaders and fathers including Houston City Council Member District I&nbsp;Joaquin Martinez, Director of Harris County Boards and Commissions&nbsp;Daniel Santamaria, Director of Community Engagement for the Alzheimer’s Association&nbsp;Jorge Olvera, Founder and CEO of The Color of Coffee Collective&nbsp;Keith Hawkins, and Founder and Director of CoolxDad&nbsp;Kevin Barnett.
Tickets for the exhibit preview reception on August 14, 2026, are available at&nbsp;<a href="https://3586.blackbaudhosting.com/3586/Fatherhood-Effect-Preview-Reception" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">3586.blackbaudhosting.com/3586/Fatherhood-Effect-Preview-Reception</a>&nbsp;and are $10 for Museum members and $20 for non-members. All tickets include live music, light bites, beverages, and free parking in the Museum’s surface lot. Doors open at 6pm and the awards will be announced at 7pm.
The Healing Arts Program was launched in 2024 with a gallery opening for “Healing Hands: A Collection of Caregiver Expressions on Mental Wellness” and was created to&nbsp;explore the intersections of art, medicine, and culture, and provide the community with an outlet for processing experiences relating to physical and mental health.
Through workshops, exhibitions, and community engagement, the program has increased the museum’s capacity for connection and healing in the Houston community.
The Healing Arts Program focuses on connection, creativity, critical thinking, and compassionate dialogue, through a lens that healthier communities can be built through collaboration between individuals, educators, artists, and healthcare professionals.
