We often hear that the body is a temple, but what does that really mean? Is the body just a collection of atoms, tissue, and chemical reactions, or is there more to this physical form?

According to Edgar Cayce reading 3188-1: “Thy body, indeed, then is the Temple of the living God. THERE Creation is manifested.” 

The human body is a sacred and unique creation; it is the ideal vessel for the soul and holds the record of its experiences within its structure. Because of this, we must recognize the connection between the spiritual and the physical and unite body, mind, and spirit to achieve rejuvenation, longevity and positive, lasting change. 

In this immersive retreat, you will bridge the gap between science, health, and spirituality and explore a potentially new perspective of life from the vastness of the Cayce health readings. You will find that we are not merely studying creation OR the Creator, but instead studying creation to better understand the Creator! 

The Edgar Cayce readings tell us “it has long been confirmed that the body in total renews itself in ever so many periods…” Edgar Cayce reading 108-2. Join popular Cayce student and teacher Adrian E. Castillo, LMT in this unique exploration of some of the physical readings given by the Sleeping Prophet and gain a new perspective, with a more mystical lens, to better understand the inherent relationship between the material and the spiritual! 

Friday, September 30th

For, as we have given, that we see manifested in the material plane is but a shadow of that in the spiritual plane. (5749-3) 

Past attendees say of Adrian:
“I’ve never heard a speaker present on the Cayce readings with Adrian’s depth of understanding and passion.”
“Thank you, Adrian, for helping make a seemingly complex topic more understandable and applicable.”
