On this episode of New Awakenings with Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E., hosts Karen and Will explore the mystery of the Lost Hall of Records with researcher and historical detective Jim Vieira.

Jim has hosted several History Channel shows, including Search for the Lost Giants, and appeared on Ancient Aliens, Expedition Unknown, and The UnXplained. He’s the author of Giants on Record and The Giants of Stonehenge and Ancient Britain, and believes ancient mysteries are keys to deeper metaphysical truths.

The Lost Hall of Records, said to be buried beneath the Great Sphinx of Giza, is believed—according to Edgar Cayce’s readings—to hold records from the lost civilization of Atlantis. These documents contain spiritual and technological knowledge meant to be discovered when humanity is ready for a new age of enlightenment.

Hosts Karen and Will explore the restructuring of the A.R.E. Field Volunteers Outreach Program with Judith Stevens — founder of the A.R.E. Prison Outreach Program, manager of the Study Groups Program, and National Field Volunteers Coordinator.

Judith began her work with A.R.E. in 1968 and has been a dedicated student of the Cayce material for over 50 years. Over the decades, she has overseen four major outreach initiatives and refers to A.R.E. members as the “arms and legs” of the organization — a group she holds in the highest regard.

After three years of dedicated collaboration, Judith and her team have introduced a new Community Affiliates Program designed to better support members in all 50 states.

The country has been divided into six regional Community Affiliates: Western, Southwest, Peaks to Plains, Midwest, Northeast, and Southeast. Each region has designated points of contact who help uphold the A.R.E.'s mission, maintain consistency across Study Groups, and provide the necessary resources and support — no matter where members are located.

To find out which Community Affiliate you belong to, how many fellow members are in your region, and who to contact locally, visit:

Hosts Karen and Will explore the ancient wisdom and evidence-based practices of Feng Shui with Kim Goeltom, MA—an Integrative Health & Wellness Coach and certified Feng Shui practitioner.

Drawing from the philosophies of the Western School of Feng Shui, Kim offers three certification programs that go beyond interior design. Her approach incorporates energetic mapping to create harmony and movement within a space, aligning it with the principles of well-being.

Feng Shui, which represents the flow of life energy—known as Qi (or Chi)—seeks to balance and enhance this energy to support health, prosperity, and emotional clarity. Whether you're reorganizing a closet, transforming a single room, or undertaking a full-home makeover, Feng Shui can spark positive change on both conscious and unconscious levels.

Want to learn how to divide your space based on life areas like health, wealth, and love? Or how to use natural elements such as wood, water, and metal to create productive energy flow? Discover how small adjustments—like repositioning furniture or removing clutter—can reduce stress and increase clarity.

Attend the Feng Shui Wellness Vision Board Workshop on July 20th to dive deeper into these transformative practices.

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.

Host Karen dives into the soul’s journey, karma, and the power of past-life regressions with featured guest, Joanne DiMaggio. Joanne has a master’s in Transpersonal Studies, and a Spiritual Mentor Certification from Atlantic University. She’s been an A.R.E. member since 1987 and is a leading expert in reincarnation and soul writing.

Your life is designed by your soul before you come into a body. Unfinished business is karma, and obstacles faced in this lifetime are opportunities to learn karmic lessons. While we may not remember our soul contract once we’re born, our body guides us with clues both physically and mentally. Exploring this guidance, conversing with your higher self, and recalling past lives through regression hypnosis may help define what to work on and what to let go of.

Curious about pre-life planning sessions, soul pods, unfinished business, and the tools necessary to resolve karmic debt? Come see Joanne speak at the A.R.E.’s Souls in Transit: Annual Reincarnation Conference May 2-4, 2025. For more information, visit edgarcayce.org/events.
