Hiking, Running, Swimming for APO
I am very excited to participate in the truly wonderful project again.Day 1 I am planning to walk 6 miles on the Appalachian Trail with a friend and my dog Lily. On day 2 I will run two miles on the track at my local gym, Simon's Rock KAC and then swim 1/2 mile (36 laps). I am hoping to raise more than the stated amount.
What this program does for some of our most vulnerable citizens is truly remarkable, a truly karmic deed. That this is possible gives hope for the future, especially in these times where innocent people are being put in prison without any provocation or having committed a crime. Reading the testimonials is inspiring and seems to be exactly what Rudolf Steiner was looking for us to do--to bring Anthroposophy out into the world. Think of what this is. So heart-warming and hopeful.
"I was taught meditation here in prison of all places. Meditation and yoga go together for me. It's peaceful, focused energy, and takes me out of this environment. I always strive to learn in order to grow." D, Ypsilanti, MI
"The Rose Cross Meditation--new was the idea of the human as a plant. It allowed me to strengthen my connection to all creation. It motivated me to do better. Yes, I now feel more connected to nature. I told my cell mate about the Rose Cross Meditation and explained its significance and importance." Katie, San Diego, CA
Thank you, Ann-Elizabeth
This Year’s Walk-a-thon is September 19 – 21 2025

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!

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.
