ABOUT US

Mary's Ward is a community of activists, living together and apart, in cities and enclaves, working to further nonviolent social and spiritual evolution to hasten God's kingdom of heaven on earth.  The vision of human unity elucidated by:

​

Jesus and Mary

Sri Aurobindo and The Mother

Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin

​

is our paradigm.  Non-dogmatic Catholic Christianity, the Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, the Vedic vision, and strategic nonviolent resistance are among our means.  Mutual aid, corporal and spiritual works of mercy, alternative social institutions, urban and rural farming and gardening, and tactical frivolity are our tools.  Education, agriculture, and the arts are our fields of action.
