From 1953 to 1981 a silver haired woman calling herself only "Peace Pilgrim" walked more than 25,000 miles on a personal pilgrimage for peace. She vowed to "remain a wanderer until mankind has learned the way of peace, walking until given shelter and fasting until given food." In the course of her 28 year pilgrimage she touched the hearts, minds, and lives of thousands of individuals all across North America. Her message was both simple and profound. It continues to inspire people all over the world:

Friends of Peace Pilgrim

CONTINUE

In 1982, the year after her death, five of Peace Pilgrim's friends gathered in Santa Fe, New Mexico to work on a book project that became "Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words".

Friends of Peace Pilgrim was a direct outgrowth of that gathering. For over twenty years we have been dedicated to keeping Peace Pilgirm's message of inner and outer peace available by providing books, booklets, tapes, videos, newsletters and related materials to all who ask. An all volunteer staff and many gifts, mostly small, have made this possible.
