Edgar Cayce Study Group
1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month
7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Administration Building
Edgar Cayce is perhaps one of the best known
clairvoyants of the last century. While most of
his psychic readings were dedicated to healing
people, his readings also covered a wide range of
spiritual and metaphysical topics.
This group will study the Edgar Cayce Readings
(ECRs) by using the textbook, A Search for God, a book
of affirmations and discourses based on the readings.
Through study of the book, the group will discuss how
to practically apply loving Christian aspects such as
cooperation, self knowledge, faith, virtue and patience
into their daily lives.

This group’s focus is to learn and practice the principles
of Real Love as developed by Real Love author
Dr. Greg Baer. In order for us to feel seen, accepted
and loved, we must first tell the truth about ourselves and
create opportunities for other people to accept and love us
as we really are ... that’s the definition of Real Love (or
unconditional love).
We can experience moments of Real Love as we share
who we are with one person at a time ... and when we meet
with many people who are interested in telling the truth
about themselves and learning how to love others, we can
significantly accelerate the process of feeling Real Love.

Winningham at swinningham@reallove.com or
