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
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 Region..
