A.R.E.

A.R.E. stands for Association for Research and Enlightenment, which is where I work. It is a very nice place. Only a block and a half off the beach, at 67th Street and Atlantic Avenue. Within the Visitor Center is the Bookstore, the Conference Auditorium, the Meditation Room, and the Library.

The original Cayce/Reilly Hospital now houses a Cayce therapies Day Spa, The Cayec/Reilly School of Masotherapy, and the faculty for Atlantic University. In front of the hospital building is a labyrinth built into the pavement of the patio.

Also on the premises is a meditation garden including a koi pond and water falls. It is very peaceful and has several benches to sit and listen to the water, the birds, and the occasional frog. During the spring the Azaleas bloom beautifully. Later in the summer the water lilies take over as the show piece of the garden.

If you ever visit Virginia Beach, make sure you stop in and visit The A.R.E.
