The Art of Gathering
A book discussion led by MJ Pattison, Chatham Evaluation.
It is more important than ever that we come together. But since the isolation of the COVID pandemic, meeting in satisfying and productive ways, socially, professionally, and even virtually, can feel like a heavier lift than it once did. Priya Parker is the founder of Thrive Labs. She has helped plan and facilitate a wide variety of social and professional gatherings both large and small.. Her book,
The Art of Gathering, offers a thoughtful starting point for conversations about how to design gatherings that maximize connection, engagement, and productivity. MJ Pattison,will introduce some of Parker’s ideas and lead a discussion of the book and its relevance for our work and communities.
