Andy Walker
Andy grew up in the Catholic Church but struggled to relate to its dogma and rituals along the way. His spiritual journey was sparked as a graduate student after reading The Phenomenon of Man by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, which described human evolution as a process culminating in the unification of consciousness. His internal guidance – the simple quiet listening to the resonance of his own inner being – led him to investigate various spiritual authors, teachings, philosophies, and practices along the way. He re-discovered ACIM in 2007, and its non-dual teachings reverberated profoundly during the ensuing years. In 2015, apparently ready to take a new important step on his spiritual path, he attended his first ever large-scale spiritual gathering – an ACIM conference in NYC, where he met Regina Dawn Akers and learned more about her books, online gatherings, and spiritual teachings. He continues to strongly resonate with the teachings and practices of Awakening Together, especially its teachings around paying attention to and trusting one’s own inner intuition above any external source. Andy is married, has two adult age daughters, and spends most of the year living in Southern Spain.
