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 founding of the A.R.E and was celebrated at many events
around the Region..
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 Region covers all of California and
Nevada and is part of the Western District. The District includes the Cal/Nev
Region and the Pacific Northwest Region.

In addition to study groups and various
activities, the A.R.E. offers membership benefits and services, a bimonthly magazine,
a newsletter, extracts from the Cayce
readings, international tours, a massage school curriculum, an impressive volunteer

University, which offers a master's degree program in Transpersonal Studies.
