What is the A.R.E.?

The Association for Research and Enlightenment, Inc. (A.R.E.) is the international headquarters for the work of Edgar Cayce (1877-1945), considered to be the best-documented psychic of the twentieth century. Founded in 1931, the A.R.E. consists of a community of people from all all walks of life and spiritual traditions, who have found meaningful and life-transforming insights from the readings of Edgar Cayce. 2006 was the 75th anniversary of the A.R. E. and was celebrated at many events around the United States.

Conferences and Special Events

Although A.R.E. headquarters is located in Virginia Beach, Virginia – where visitors are always welcome – the A.R.E. community is a global network of individuals who offer conferences, educational activities, and fellowship around the world. People of every age are invited to participate in programs that focus on such topics as holistic health, dreams, reincarnation, ESP, the power of the mind, meditation, and personal spirituality. Our Area Teams cover all of California and Nevada which is a part of the Western District.

Membership and Scholarships

In addition to study groups and various activities, the A.R.E. offers membership benefits and services, a magazine (Venture Inward), a newsletter, extracts from the Cayce readings, international tours, a massage school curriculum, an impressive volunteer network, a retreat-type camp for children and adults, and A.R.E. contacts around the world. A.R.E. also maintains an affiliation with Atlantic University, which offers a master’s degree program in Transpersonal Studies.
