Four of us had 1.5 hour combination facials and massages at the Spa at Edgar Cayce Institute. The services were exceptional and we felt great when we left after all the pampering.

Love the spiritual books, crystals, jewelry and fun items. I have sat in on two classes both very interesting and thought provoking. I go there occcasionally when heading down there for meditation on the beach. Good side visit.

This place is always a mind expanding environment. The staff at the gift shop seemed to remember me from months prior and arre very accomodating, informative and will find information for you even if they have never heard of an item. They also conduct free seminars and have a library.
