New Awakenings
Like Mulder from the X-Files, we all want to believe! Your hosts of New Awakenings have embarked on a journey of discovery. They’ve talked to people deeply entrenched in the spiritual, metaphysical, and mystical worlds. They’ve thrown themselves into weird and wonderful experiences, and they’re sharing them with you in an effort to find the trick to self-growth. Whether your interests lie in the metaphysical or the spiritual or even grounded in the three dimensional world, this show will help you explore the endless possibilities of self growth….tinged with a hint of the supernatural.
During this podcast, your hosts Karen Endsley and Will Rodriguez will take you on a journey of enlightenment through very interesting and meaningful conversations with the experts. They will learn about everything from Edgar Cayce and his work to the myriad of modalities being practiced in the metaphysical realm. Their light hearted conversation style and humor will be sure to add some fun while they dig deep into incredible topics and reveal insights that just may change the way you look at life. One is a true pragmatist, while the other sees the world with a sense of wonder. These differing approaches allow them to reach many different types of people, from the skeptical scientist to the lover of all things woo!

Exploring Ireland with Cassie McQuagge and Nancy Tiberi
Hosts Karen and Will explore the world of travel with A.R.E.’s Vice President of Philanthropic Legacy, Cassie McQuagge, and Manager of Annual Fundraising and Membership, Nancy Tiberi.
With nearly 50 years of combined experience at A.R.E., Cassie and Nancy embody Edgar Cayce’s belief in immersing oneself in other cultures as a path to deeper understanding and spiritual growth. In that spirit, they’re joining forces to lead an upcoming Tour of Ireland, taking place August 4–15, 2025.
Edgar Cayce’s son, Hugh Lynn Cayce, launched the first A.R.E. Tour to Egypt in 1963. Since then, A.R.E. has expanded its offerings to include not only an annual pilgrimage to Egypt but also a variety of 4- and 5-star tours to sacred and historical sites across the globe. While there are occasional domestic trips, past international destinations have included France, Spain, Turkey, Greece, Japan, China, Peru, and the Galápagos Islands, among others.
Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or embarking on your first spiritual journey abroad, exploring sacred sites like the Cliffs of Moher and Blarney Castle with a group of like-minded individuals promises a rich blend of fun, friendship, and meaningful connection.
