NEW DISCOVERIES REDEFINING ANCIENT HISTORY
Discover the real truth behind lost legends and prophecies, forgotten cultures, and mystical obscurities. See the latest discoveries from the field, and examine the influence of the ancient past on our current lives. Hear the Cayce connections that link so many of these wonders of the ancient world and the answers he gave that may solve the many riddles about their lost origins.
Many of us feel that our souls were once incarnated in these ancient times—from Atlantis and Mu to Ancient Egypt and the Holy Land and beyond.

This conference stimulates your deeper mind to recall all you have known and to awaken it in this incarnation.

Described as "perhaps the best metaphysical speaker in the world right now,” for two decades he has been an international keynote speaker, with notable appearances at the International Science and Consciousness Conference, the International Society For The Study Of Subtle Energies & Energy Medicine, and the Association for Research and Enlightenment, in addition to appearances on Gaia TV, History Channel, BBC, and radio shows such as Earth Ancients, Fade To Black and Coast To Coast.

Joanne DiMaggio, MA, CHt, is considered a respected expert on the topic of reincarnation and soul writing. She has been a part of Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. since 1987 and was on the Core Team that founded the Heartland Region in Chicago. In 1990, she attended an A.R.E. Conference in Chicago where Henry Reed, PhD, talked about what Edgar Cayce referred to as “inspirational writing.” Recognizing that writing as something she had done for many years, she began to devote much of her time researching all aspects of guided writing.
As a student at Atlantic University, she opted to do her thesis on inspirational writing, updating the name to Soul Writing to more accurately reflect Cayce’s intent. Dr. Reed served as her mentor and encouraged her to turn her thesis into a book. That book, Soul Writing: Conversing with Your Higher Self, was published in 2011.
Afterwards, she began incorporating Soul Writing into her past-life work, resulting in her second book: Your Soul Remembers: Accessing Your Past Lives Through Soul Writing. She later guided volunteers to use Soul Writing in her research project on physical karma, which became her next book: Karma Can Be a Real Pain: Past Life Clues to Current Life Maladies.
She is also the author of: I Did It To Myself…Again, which presents her research on the pre-life planning process; and her most recent book: Edgar Cayce and the Unfulfilled Destiny of Thomas Jefferson Reborn.
Joanne has had numerous articles published, given talks to global audiences, and been a guest on nearly 100 radio programs and podcasts.
In addition to her Masters in Transpersonal Studies degree, she obtained her Spiritual Mentor certification through Atlantic University. Joanne conducts private soul writing sessions and past-life regressions to clients worldwide via ZOOM. More at www.joannedimaggio.com.
