📚 Brains & Books | November

This month, we’re reading The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters by Priya Parker.

We spend a lot of time gathering people—meetings, trainings, celebrations, volunteer events, social functions, and community programs. But how often do we stop and ask: Why are we actually gathering?

The Art of Gathering challenges many of the ways we've traditionally approached bringing people together. Priya Parker explores how purpose, thoughtful planning, meaningful boundaries, and intentional leadership can turn an ordinary gathering into something people actually want to be part of.

For our Brains & Books conversation, we'll dig into what makes gatherings succeed or fall flat, what we've experienced in our own organizations and communities, and how we can be more intentional about the spaces we create for others.
