Having travelled extensively through various countries in Africa and the Caribbean isles, Nicole has been able to honor her many passions within research of Afro-spiritual traditions and indigenous-natural medicine. Her love of people, and the sharing of personal and collective stories, has supported her deep spiritual practice of honoring, prayer, and meditation. This pursuit has also allowed her to examine the common spiritual principles and practices amongst all peoples, cultures, and religions. A part of her vision for the A.R.E. is to expand the outreach and impact of the Edgar Cayce material extending access to all communities and age groups– supporting mind, body, and spirit for the health, wellness, and wellbeing of our communities.
