Local Roots. Global Ambitions.

We are a community of changemakers

People come to Kingsbrae Conversations for discussions that inspire individual reflection and collective action toward a sustainable future. We believe our differences are our strength, and we welcome guests from diverse generations, genders, cultures, races and disciplines. We welcome diversity of opinions and perspectives. What unites us is a shared belief we can make a difference.

In an increasingly polarized world, civil conversation can feel like a dying art. Kingsbrae Conversations offers a safe, stimulating setting where challenging topics can be openly explored with curiosity and respect.

Our venue

There is no substitute for the magic of being together, live, in a beautiful place. Our home base is Kingsbrae Garden, a 27-acre horticultural masterpiece in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, in Atlantic Canada. This historic, seaside town on the Bay of Fundy, home to the world’s highest tides, has long been a destination for artists and creative thinkers.

Not simply a beautiful setting, the garden is also our teacher. We know we have much to learn from the natural world.
