Why Travel Is a Spiritual Practice (According to Edgar Cayce)

What if the trip itself is the spiritual work? In this special on-location episode, Will and Karen broadcast live from Spirit Fest in Virginia Beach, joined by Samantha Erb of Edgar Cayce's A.R.E. (Association for Research and Enlightenment). Samantha breaks down why Cayce, often called the grandfather of modern metaphysics, insisted that real growth comes from lived experience, not just study. They dig into the A.R.E.'s Travel and Tour Division, founded in 1963 by Cayce's son Hugh Lynn Cayce, and why sacred-site travel to places like Lourdes and Machu Picchu can open the door to reconnecting with your "soul family" across lifetimes. Highlights include: Why Cayce believed unity and shared humanity are best understood through travel, not theory A look at upcoming A.R.E. tours to France (Lourdes and Marian apparition sites) and Peru (a past-life regression planned at Machu Picchu) What membership actually gets you: full access to the Cayce readings archive, discounted tours, and A.R.E.'s library of classes and workshops A tour of what's on-site at the A.R.E.'s Virginia Beach headquarters, including the meditation garden, ocean-view meditation room, and Sessions restaurant Whether you can make it to Virginia Beach in person or you're exploring from afar at EdgarCayce.org, this conversation is a reminder that sometimes the most direct path to insight starts with a plane ticket.
