After a personal journey and transformation using non-violent communication with herself and her family, Kit Miller became an educator and practitioner to share these principles. In 2009, she joined the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence, which was founded by Gandhi's grandson Arun. Kit has been learning about nonviolence and organizing on its behalf for the past 26 years. She draws on Gandhian and Kingian nonviolence, as well as Nonviolent Communication and permaculture, for direction and daily practice and uses the Institute as a learning laboratory for principled nonviolence. She teaches and works on community projects related to restorative justice, sustainability, and anti-racism in Rochester, has taught hundreds of groups world-wide and has spoken about nonviolence at the United Nations on multiple occasions.
