Hello, whoever is reading these words: We are alive! You are alive, I am alive! As Mary Oliver asked, "What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" I expect you, like me, would answer that you plan to do the most you can to help our shared world, its plants, animals and people... and especially certain people, probably. Yesterday, a friend and I drove 165 miles each way to have 2 hour visits with friends who are inmates on Texas' Death Row. We have been doing this for a number of years, and care deeply about our incarcerated friends. It's mutual, and it's because of this lived experience that I am once again participating in the APO Walk-a-thon this year. My fundraising goal this year is $234.56, just for grins! But seriously, I commit to walking 10 miles, and hope the project interests you enough to prompt you to share a donation. However small it may be, it is GREATLY appreciated! With love and thanks, and all best wishes- Joanna Vaughn

ABOUT 2024 APO Walkathon

 

This Year’s Walk-a-thon is September 20 – 22, 2024

We hope you will join in to Walk, Run, or Cycle!

 

Anthroposophical Prison Outreach inspires inner change in men and women who are in prison. Our lending library, meditation instruction, correspondence course and twice yearly newsletters support students in their self-development. And, as you know, when one person changes, it radiates to those around them. Your donation makes a big difference in the world. Click the button above to join in as a walker gathering support or to make a general donation. You can also sponsor a specific walker, just scroll down to view our walkers/runners/cyclists! Thank you for your support!

 

Where will this walk-a-thon be held? It's everywhere! This is a nationwide event with no set course or distance. Walkers and cyclists can participate wherever they happen to be throughout the weekend. Each volunteer gathers in sponsors and in this way a broad group of individuals sustains APO.

Our goal this year is to raise $35,000. This will support over 1,200 people across the US - individuals who are serving time in prison and have taken up a path of inner development through the work of the APO. Your support makes a real difference.

 

I would like to acknowledge the great work you guys are doing for prisoners who reach out for knowledge. I speak for all of us as a whole within the penal system when I say we are grateful. I’m a firm believer that what we achieve in this life will benefit us in the next life so I like to learn as much as I can. Anthony, Bruceton Mills, WV

 

Anthroposophy has opened a new reality for me. It transformed me. It has made me aware to what is real. It helped me understand spiritual evolution and showed me the value of each soul. Robert, Grafton, OH

Helen Roberts 09/10/2024 $40.00 In beauty all day long may I walk. Through the returning seasons, may I walk. On the trail marked with pollen may I walk. With dew about my feet, may I walk. With beauty before me may I walk. With beauty behind me may I walk. With beauty below me may I walk. With beauty above me may I walk. With beauty all around me may I walk. In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, lively, may I walk. In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, living again, may I walk. My words will be beautiful… (Navajo prayer)
