The Art of Living aims to give young women the skills they need to take care of people with confidence and artistry, and to raise the care for the basic needs of the human person – food, clothing, shelter, health, love, and knowledge – to the level of an art. Central to the Art of Living Program is the formative value of hands-on experience.

Through the family to society, healing and renewing with deeds of love.

Be More by serving with your mind, your heart and your hands.

The Staff are professional women who implement the Art of Living philosophy in their families and careers. We affirm that the work of the home is a valuable profession that fosters the dignity of the human person, and we try to impart this vision to the young women in the Art of Living Program.
