Words About Our Work

“When I visited the Institute, I saw so many people from different communities in Rochester coming together, learning and exchanging meaning with others and then going back out to share ideas and skills–it’s so exciting. The physical transformation of the house and the beauty of the garden was inspiring. You have opened up a space of possibility that I feel really happy to support. So I’m upping my monthly support. This is precious work.”

Marc ScruggsSan Francisco, CA

“When we teachers have gone to the Gandhi Institute the circles and the conversations have positively impacted me emotionally and mentally. Also, great idea for the Brain Committee. LOVE GANDHI INSTITUTE!”

TeacherCharles T. Lunsford School #19

“The Gandhi Institute facilitators were extremely approachable and made it easy for me and other participants to share our experiences and ideas. They provided thought-provoking prompts to stimulate discussion and then ensured the discussion was balanced by involving all group members which gave me insight into other perspectives.”
