Patrick Belisle - A spiritual world traveler who spent four years straight wandering North America and literally going around the world, Patrick was raised Catholic and has been a spiritual seeker since age 14 when he led his church’s youth Bible study group and went on to study theology with Benedictine monks in college. Since then, Patrick has lived with Buddhist monks in Thailand, had a transformative mystical experience at an ashram in India, taught meditation and dream work as an A.R.E. Camp counselor for 15 years, and practiced hypnotherapy since 1999. He has worked with Dr. Ian Stevenson’s group (DOPS) who are researching the nature of consciousness at the University of Virginia and is currently on their Advisory Board. He has given dozens of lectures and workshops on Edgar Cayce-related topics, and is always a popular draw because of his ability to put these potentially mind-bending topics into understandable and useful terms. Patrick believes strongly in the power of Love; he has officiated dozens of weddings and led many marriage-preparation workshops in his role as an ordained clergyperson for the Church of Spiritual Humanism. When he is not offering himself in service to others or wandering the world, he is raising money for Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. in Virginia Beach where he has worked as the Development Director since 2006. Patrick blends his joyful humor with deep substance to help others find meaning and inspiration.
