The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why it Matters

By Priya Parker

The Saint Stephen’s staff was required to read this book for a staff retreat, and both Mary Bea Sullivan and Threshold Center board member Allison Dearing were astounded by Priya Parker’s stories and wisdom on creating stimulating, creative spaces for gathering. Since one of the core tenets of the Threshold Center is creating a safe and transformative gathering space, Priya’s insights hold particular significance.

“The way we gather matters. The stakes are high. The world is changing, and the gathering you create can make all the difference.”
