Abstract
A path integral formulation is used in the superspace of geometries leading to a model of quantum gravity. It is shown that this method agrees with the standard path integral technique in the special case of Friedmann universes. A Schrödinger-like equation is set up, leading to the stationary states. Some solutions to these equations are presented.
