What is the purpose of these groups?
Still working on this question
But, generally to help group members and its leader to develop spiritually in an integrated and holistic way ~ i.e. in body, mind, psyche and spirit.

What qualifies Roger to lead these groups?
Still working on this question
But, Roger was guided to establish the Spiritwalk Foundation and begin to teach others about spirit by a series of very interesting (to him) spiritual events.
Roger has been a student of spiritual psychology, religion and spiritual practice for over 30 years. He has endeavored to integrate this into his work and his personal life.
What happens at one of these groups?
Still working on this question
But, we meditate, read, study and discuss books, share spiritual stories and experiences, etc
see Spiritwalkers statements below.
What do members say about their Spiritwalk experience?
"Spiritwalk is a place to explore my spiritual beliefs. We talk about anything and everything spiritual. Without judgment. I can share my ideas and beliefs, and learn from others. I feel encouragement from others in the group. I am exposed to great ideas and great books to read. Spiritwalk is a source for me to find out what in going on out there in the spiritual world. We have attended wonderful events. Whatever my expectation were when I started this group are null and void, yet I have I grown in ways I thought not necessary. My idea of what spirituality is has changed. I have a better understanding of my own spiritual values and I am excited about my spiritual focus. It leaves me in a world of wonderment to think whatever my current expectations are; how they will change, what Spiritwalk will bring to me next. Spiritwalk helps me to stay mindful even at times when I think it's not possible. I now am aware of god's presence at all times. And for this I thank Spiritwalk."

"Spiritwalk has been a delightful experience for me. It's been a place to explore spirituality in my life. The group has presented a wealth of information and new thought that is priceless in my quest for inner peace."

"In today's hectic lifestyle, my efforts at practicing
Mindfulness seem to result mostly
in my being mindful of how little time I have to be mindful. Spiritwalk meetings ensure
that
I can concentrate on my spiritual life at least one evening a week. I come out of the
meetings
energized for days after."

"In the last few years, my feelings of
dissatisfaction with the typical life of an Angelino had become unbearable. Always knowing
that there must be more to life than Seinfeld and second marriages, I began looking for a
release, a vision of myself, free from freeways, cut off from car phones and transported
from television to a piece of peace of mind that I could energize and build upon. Then
came Spiritwalk.
I should have known that there were others on the same quest as I. Seeking as much
information about the other side of living, that of the growth of the soul, was much more
important to others than I thought. My Spiritwalk group consists of others of like
perceptions and goals. We all want to learn more about ourselves and our place in the
universe. An endless task, I hope.
We have tailored our program to fit our interests, talents and limitations. In our first
year we've explored a myriad of topics from Thich Nat Hahn to Tarot. We've shared our
spiritual experiences in
everyday life, helping us to recognize the awesome power of prayer and communion in
spirit. Each meeting offers us a chance to express ourselves in a comfortable, totally
accepting, atmosphere of trust and understanding. Spiritwalk is truly an adventure of the
soul and a path for the heart."

Probably one of the biggest shames humankind has perpetrated upon our continent is the near extinction of the American Bison from the plains at the center of our nation. Now, just as they begin to come back, a new threat, again over money and personal gain, endangers this wonderous, amazing, majestic species. The herd in Yellowstone National Park decreased by 60% in the winter 1996-97, killed by cattle ranchers who regarded them as presenting a danger to their herds due to disease. The Bison's only offense was not to recognize the fences that separated them from the cattle ranches. We encourage to support the National Parks and Conservation Association and the Nature Conservancy in their efforts to Save the Bison. You can get information about this by following these links. The Spiritwalk Foundation is participating in the Nature Conservancy's Adopt-a-Bison program. We invite you to join in the effort. The guy on the left, Thunderfoot, is ours.
