The Love Project: An Exploration of Love and Community
Join journalist-turned-author Alison van Diggelen for an inspiring presentation on her acclaimed Love Project. After years of interviewing celebrities, leaders,
and innovators for outlets including the BBC, Alison turned her attention to her own community in Carmelby-the-Sea — uncovering extraordinary stories of love,
loss, resilience, and joy along the way. The Love Project weaves together these intimate conversations into a heartfelt exploration of human connection, reminding us that it’s never too late to find love, redefine purpose, or rediscover joy. Chosen as an Editor’s Pick by Publishers Weekly, the project has been
praised for its warmth and emotional depth, drawing comparisons to The New York Times Modern Love series.
