The Art of Gathering - a digital 6 week course by Priya Parker

I heard about Priya Parker via an interview with Brene Brown; ended up reading her book The Art of Gathering. Hearing that she is about to launch a 6 week course on how to set up effective gatherings is something many of us may be interested in.

From Priya's newsletter, the info on her new course: 

"Friends,

This little dream of mine has been in the works for more than three years. I am absolutely thrilled to announce The Art of Gathering Digital Course — my brand new six-week learning experience to help you design and host intentional gatherings with and for your people. The Spring session begins on May 16. (Doing a little dance in my chair as I write this to you!)

Whether you’re scheming your next great event, special occasion, meeting, or party we’ll explore the question: “How can we do this differently?”
Gatherings play a large role in our lives. The comings together of friends, family, and co-workers have the potential to change the way we connect, the way we understand one another, and the way we live. 

Across six weeks, I’m going to guide you through the six core elements of artful gathering to help you reimagine and design how you bring your people together. Your registration includes weekly digestible pre-recorded lessons, exercises, case studies, and a wealth of supporting resources. We have been hard at work behind the scenes and I am so excited to finally open the doors. 

It’s important for me to connect with you through this experience. For our first Spring session, seats are limited, and I’ll be joining you for LIVE office hours each week. During this time, I’ll address common group questions and offer feedback in order to help you go deeper with the content and exercises.

Sign-up today and join me as we begin to reshape how we come together, one gathering at a time.
