SUMMARY:Book Group: Story Seeds
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\n\nLet’s explore how simple spaces\, like a garden or market\, can become the heart of a community. \nWe are hosting a special online book group to discuss Story Seeds: Growing Home at the Farmers Market by Megan Lovely over 4 weeks. \nOur goal is to use these stories as a catalyst for our own community building in Rochester. As author Megan Lovely notes\, “this experience is for anyone seeking a deeper connection to the people and places they call home.” \nWho should attend? People interested in:\nConnecting: Meet others in the Rochester area interested in local food systems and community roots.\nReflecting: Share your own “story seeds” and how you see your community reflected in Megan’s work.\nGrowing: Help us sow the seeds for a more thriving\, connected local community. \nLet’s sow the seeds of a more connected Rochester! \nOn pricing: \n\nThe Gandhi Institute often hosts events on a sliding scale economy to be more accessible and prevent finances from prohibiting learning\, engagement\, and opportunity to create a better world. \nWe depend on our community to participate\, inform\, and partially fund our programming\, so we truly appreciate your choice to support us in a way that aligns with you.

Your support ensures our work remains accessible to all through our equitable sliding-scale model. In the last year alone\, your partnership allowed us to: \nTrain 2\,306 people in nonviolence and restorative practices. \nFacilitate 8\,026 restorative conversations with students in our Help Zones. \nHost 93 community events that fostered connection and healing across Rochester. \nJoin us for an uplifting evening designed to engage the heart and the mind: \nNourishment: A formal vegetarian dinner\, dessert\, and cash bar. \nConnection: Immersive experiences exploring our pillars of Nonviolence\, Racial Justice\, Sustainability\, and Restorative Practices. \nInspiration: Powerful storytelling and live music for a compelling purpose \nLegacy: A silent auction featuring local businesses and unique community experiences. \nThe Goal: Our goal is to raise $40\,000 to directly fund our 2026 programming and education. Whether you are a long-time sustainer or a new friend\, your presence is vital. \nRenew your hope. Recommit to the work. Resist with love.
