Mighty Oak
Sturdy and strong,
Destined for heights,
Alone or apart,
Living by the light,
Nurturing the land,
With it’s every breath,
Giving us shelter,
Even in death,
Too often we fail to see,
The bravery of even a tree,
So stop a second,
Look and see,
For just a moment,
How we all should be.

Dear friends, family and community welcome to my Walkathon page!
Every fall I strive to walk for this cause: support the opportunity for human beings in incarceration to receive spiritual nourishment and uncover new pathways for inner development. The longer I work with and absorb Anthroposophy the more I am filled with a deep gratitude for its impulse given to us by Rudolf Steiner. Its goal to realize the human being as spiritual being gives us the sustenance and courage to continue to unfold (as seed needs earth, rain and sun to grow roots, trunk and spread branches). I wish this soul sustenance and opportunity for all human beings.
For this cause I will find a place either local to me in Denver, Colorado or in the mountains of the western slopes to walk this coming weekend among the trees!
Your support in this endeavor is gratefully received!
Warmly in this Michaelmas season,
Bride Alona
This Year’s Walk-a-thon is September 19 – 21 2025
We hope you will join in to Walk, Run, or Cycle!

The teachings of Rudolf Steiner have the ability to transform the way people think, feel and the way they act. Anthroposophical Prison Outreach makes this wisdom available to a poplulation that would not otherwise have access... men and women who are serving time in prison! Our lending library, meditation instruction, correspondence course and twice yearly newsletters support students in their self-development. The courage and determination of our students is inspiring! Plus as you know, when one person changes, it radiates to those around them. Please join in as a walker this year, gather some sponsors and help APO reach our fundraising goal! Click the 'Become a fundraiser' button above to create your own personal page to share with friends. And, to sponsor a specific walker just scroll down to find their personal page, click to read about their walk and offer your support in the form of a gift to APO. If you prefer to make a general donation, click the 'Donate' button above. Join in anytime, it's fun to see our walkers list grow as we near our event.
Where will this Walk-a-thon be held? It's everywhere! This is a international event with no set course or distance. Walkers, runners, and cyclists can participate whereever 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. Thank you for your support, it makes a real difference! Self-control and awareness has taken the place of negativity. It helps the situation so I don't make impulse base decisions that have no substance. Others tell me I'm different and more humble. Arturo, Tabor City, NC Because of studying with APO I've learned to handle myself through difficult and stressful situations. Anthroposophy has yielded me through, and helped me deal with everyday living and preparedness.
