"An extraordinary read! Geography of the Soul, by Doctor Royce Fitts, is arduous and gentle, challenging and provocative as he takes the reader on a true pilgrimage across the Ridgeway Trail in England, 100 miles on foot. It's deeply personal, confessional, and yet accidentally spiritual..."

“Royce takes you on a non-linear journey into the inner and outer landscapes of his life. His stravage, as he describes it—‘…engaging in a defiant walk, a decision to stray without limits…’—invites you to see beyond your conceived notions and beliefs and stretch into limitlessness, flow, and mystery—a journey that many of us are afraid to take.”
Kathleen Webster O’Malley
Author of 'The Healing Wisdom of Dreams'
“Infused with healing wisdom and profound experiences, The Geography of the Soul reminds us of the seamless conversation between our inner and outer landscapes. Royce Fitts transports us to stunning terrains, provides helpful in-sights for times when we feel lost and hopeless, and encourages us to venture onto trails we might ordinarily overlook. He shows us how we can become more whole.”
Rev. Dr. Mary A. Frohs
Pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Pastoral Counselor
“Royce Fitts is the perfect guide to shepherd us on a journey into self-discovery, healing, and wholeness. Throughout Geography of the Soul, with elegance and vulnerability, he weaves his life experiences together with world history, geography, spirituality, politics, psychology, and DreamWork into a beautiful tapestry of self-authenticity.”

“As one who strives to appreciate synchronicities and intuition, I treasure (and plan to adopt) the author’s expression of ‘synchronistic intuitions.’ I appreciate how well he interweaves stories about the Nebraska prairie, the English terrain, projective dreamwork, counseling, and his own life experiences.”

“I'm a highlighter, it helps me stay focused while I'm reading. I did not highlight a single letter in Royce's book! That is because I was so captivated by the story, the landscapes and voyages Royce took me through, that I did not even think about highlighting. My "stravage" through his book helped me reflect on how I grew up and the pilgrimages I have taken in this lifetime. What captivated me the most, though, was the vulnerability and access to his emotions, challenges and hopes. Thank you, Royce, for sharing this unique yet universal human experience of yours!”

“I am very grateful for the expert guidance Royce gave me with my troubling dream. It was amazing how, in such a short amount of time, Royce was able to help me so much (through his Spiritual Counseling and Projective Dream Work approach). What a wonderful introduction it was to Royce and his very caring and nurturing way of being with me. This was an unexpected gift. I felt these qualities and let them all in with relish. I eagerly await future sessions as I delve into my spiritual and dream life which I know will enrich my life greatly. Thank you so much.”

“Dr. Fitts helped me through a huge transition in my life. At my first appointment, I knew I had landed in the exact right space. He was calm, supportive and firm and helped me navigate a difficult journey. I was able to recognize old, ingrained behavior and was finally able to break free of the patterns I had used as coping mechanisms my adult life. I would not be in the positive healthy place I am today without Dr. Fitts. I have recommended numerous people to him for Spiritual Counseling.”

“Dr. Royce Fitts has been an integral part of my healing the last 20+ years. He has great creativity with healing and a way with words that I’ve never encountered before. But one thing stood out and has helped heal me more than I could have ever imagined-his Spiritual Counseling and Dream Work. It opened me up to a different world of healing and processing, and catapulted me to an emotional level I never would have dreamed of.”
