This is a powerful documentary about an extraordinary woman. At age 44, Mildred Norman left her life circumstances and became Peace Pilgrim -- walking coast to coast for peace for nearly 30 years, living on faith and sharing her wisdom and exhuberance generously with people across the land. This 60-minute documentary is a poetic and musical exploration of her life and message, which is as relevant today as ever. Also included are interviews with Dalai Lama, Maya Angelou, John Robbins, Elizabeth Kubler Ross, and many of Peace Pilgrim's friends, admirers, and relatives, along with newsreel footage from the 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's, when Peace was on her walk for peace. The video is narrated by Reverend Michael Beckwith.

This video was scripted and edited by Sharon Janis (Kumuda) of Night Lotus Productions, using materials that had been filmed and gathered over two decades.

You can order a copy of this video or Peace Pilgrim's books or audio materials from Friends of Peace Pilgrim Foundation at http://www.peacepilgrim.org . In accordance with Peace Pilgrim's belief that spiritual teachings should be given rather than sold, all of her materials are offered without charge (although donations to continue their work are welcome)

More videos by Sharon Janis are available to view online as part of the Night Lotus Website of free multimedia spiritual resources at http://www.nightlotus.com .

  • Peace Pilgrim has remained the most inspiring constant of my life for the past years. It's near impossible to get my head around the immensity of her character, wisdom, achievements and astounding insight - only rarely do these things present as fully comprehensible to me.

    Peace Pilgrim embodies peace, rationality, sense and love. Her words are a guiding light for all those inspired by &/or to spirituality and peace, whether this inspiration is coupled to, or separate from, organised religion.

  • Peace Pilgrim is definetely an enlightened being! What a remarkable life. So inspiring. I was born during the Vietnam war. Thank you.

  • "Peace is an idea whose time has come!" -Peace <3

  • Incredible clarity of thought! Incredible enthusiam! ...And an astonishing human being with a very timely message for each and everyone of us!

    "And Enoch walked with God...and then he was no more, for God took him." (Gen. 5:24).

    I think we can rephrase the same for Peace Pilgrim: "She walked with God and saw the good in all men, and then she was no more, for God took her".

  • "The world is like a mirror,

    If you smile at it, it will smile back,

    And I love smiling" :))

    - Mildred Norman

  • Let's be clear... This remarkable woman did not take a leap of faith one day, setting out with next to nothing. She first discovered inner peace. She first learned to be still, silent, and PEACEFUL. This was her turning to God. This is what she did. The rest was done by God. As Peace would say, "First things first!"

  • Keep your feet on the ground and your thoughts at lofty heights. - Peace Pilgrim

  • Thank you for the upload. My privilege and blessing to know this great woman who is in harmony with the world. Thank you. May you be blessed with peace and love.

  • Powerful woman!

  • Peace Pilgrim was a beautiful and inspiring lady. Her faith was mighty. She saw the good in all people. I would have loved to meet her and invite her to stay at my house on her pilgrimage. She expressed the true teachings of Christ in her words and actions.

  • "What I want and what I need are exactly the same. You couldn't GIVE me anything I didn't need".

    The wisdom in this is priceless.

  • It's really awesome to see Peace Pilgrim so devoted to peace, and demonstrating such faith in human good. This documentary is a must see.
