Answer the call of the magic and the mystical on a transformative journey to the Hawaiian islands of Kauai and Maui with Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E., led by CEO Christopher Naughton and his life partner, Valerie Jones. Beloved author and spiritual teacher Alan Cohen and Posi music artist Karen Drucker join the group for two days on Kauai, bringing their special insights into the extraordinary magic that is Hawaii.

And…could these Hawaiian islands be the former mountaintops of a long-lost civilization? Throughout the tour, Christopher will share with the group the esoteric insights of the Edgar Cayce readings that suggest that Hawaii is a surviving remnant of the lost continent of Lemuria (also referred to as Mu), a peaceful and advanced society in the Pacific that preceded Atlantis.

This extraordinary retreat will blend breathtaking natural beauty, meaningful connection, and opportunities for inner renewal. Imagine sacred landscapes, ocean vistas, inspired conversations, moments of reflection, and unforgettable shared experiences with a like-minded community. More details will be revealed soon, but for now, mark your calendar and prepare for an adventure that promises insight, rejuvenation, and a little island magic.
