Our world is in a state of toxic polarization and social media bewilderment.
We’ve found a way out.

our mission is pluralism.
our method is dialogue.
The Nantucket Project is an organization committed to promoting pluralism through dialogue. We do this primarily through live gatherings and film.
Our Courageous Conversations program is currently being offered at UNC – Chapel Hill and a group of top colleges (soon to be announced). We are in the process of expanding our program to 30 campuses in 2026.
Our signature gathering is a 4-day event on Nantucket that brings together the leaders of the new counterculture.
It’s a gathering like no other, offering a unique blend of talks, films, music, movement and real conversation.






The Nantucket Project has produced over 50 short Ideafilms on a wide variety of topics – from emerging nations to artificial intelligence, to the most vital matters of the human condition, such as curiosity, forgiveness and love. All of our films serve as catalysts for deeper conversation.

Together with Simon Greer,
The Nantucket Project has developed a bridge-building methodology that is nationally recognized for its academic rigor and impact on campuses.
Courageous Conversations programs have focused on political polarization, race in America, and most recently, the Israel-Palestine conflict.
