The Open Mind Project seeks to shed light on the power and influence that religious, cultural and fundamental narratives have on human psychology, society, and environment. We provide educational resources, including an online database of belief systems (the Faith Portal). We promote a broadened worldview that reinforces our identity as one human race, transcending the stories that often divide us. We connect people from different backgrounds, seeking more beneficial narratives to assist in our progression toward sustainability and equitable civilization.
