In 1931 Edgar Cayce gave the first reading on an annual Members Congress. “Each year,” it stated, “one period…as a meeting of all members, representatives…wherever they may be located, at Virginia Beach…would renew the faith, confidence, purposes, aims of the work itself…” (254-57) And 87 years later, the original purposes of Congress remain! Come experience this unique week of fellowship, communication, educa-tion, inspiration, celebration, and interaction between worldwide A.R.E. members, staff, vol-unteers, and Board of Trustees. Visit our updated Visitor’s Center and renovated historic campus, meet staff, learn how the A.R.E. operates, and con-verse with the Board of Trustees. Gain a personal connection to this association that Edgar Cayce envisioned and make memorable connections with members from across the globe.

NEW! Pre-Congress Soul Growth One-Day EventSaturday, June 16Awakening Your Energy Body: Blending Shamanic Traditions with Edgar Cayce’s Wisdom Featuring Author and Energy Healer Nancy Pohle Chrisbaum

Edgar Cayce’s readings suggest that we are all born with the capacity to be co-creators with the Divine Forces. His tenet that “mind is indeed the builder” was repeated throughout his readings. This idea is a principle found in many great spiritual traditions—as the Peruvian Shamans would describe it, “we each have the power to dream our world into being.”

Linking Cayce’s psychic insights with ancient Shamanic practices that bridge the visible and invisible worlds, Nancy will lead you to a fuller understanding of our destiny as “luminous energy beings” who are no longer bound by time or the constraints of linear thinking. Freed from the limits of the physical realm, we can achieve a state where all things are possible, and bring our thoughts into action.

You will work together and be guided on a soul journey to assist you in:n Identifying current, past-life, or ancestral patterns to be released or

transformed to better serve you in this lifen Sensing and strengthening your “luminous energy field”—what Edgar

Cayce might call the “aura”n Setting an intention for physical and spiritual healing and renewaln Recognizing latent talents and intuitive abilitiesn Discovering your personal Power Animal to assist you on your journeyn Using the power of co-creation to help bring your life goals into realityn Reconnecting with your guides and higher self for transformative change

This unique, insightful, and life-changing program will highlight the similarities between the ancient Shamanic traditions and the Edgar Cayce readings, and give you a new view of the nature of reality and the power of the mind as you “dream your world into being!”

Combine with Congress and take $10 off each program! Registration check-in begins at 8:00 a.m. Program begins at 9:00 a.m. with a lunch break from noon to 1:30 p.m., and concludes at 4:30 p.m. Schedule available at EdgarCayce.org/conferences.
