The Gandhi House

In order to better serve and connect with the greater Rochester community, the Institute is thrilled to be planning a move to new headquarters in Rochester’s Plymouth-Exchange neighborhood, at 929 South Plymouth Ave.  The house was an abandoned building for 17 years and is being lovingly restored by two friends and soon-to-be landlords of the Institute, David Knoll and David Skinner, along with their construction crew and a host of community helpers.  When it is finished, the building will provide space for 8-10 workers, a large community workshop space, a meditation room and more.  The house is adjacent to a ¾ acre lot which is being rehabilitated to serve as an urban agriculture project as well as a meditative green space available to all.

Current plans call for the Institute’s operations to move in March 2012, though an office and meeting space will be maintained on campus at the University of Rochester.  The Institute is gratefully accepting financial donations as well as office furniture and other needed equipment-we are moving on a shoestring!  If you would like to help, contact Director – Kit Miller
