A Conversation with Priya Parker event on October 24 at 5:30 p.m. ET

Priya Parker is best known as the author of The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why it Matters.

Artful gathering is a lifelong practice that instills in you a curiosity, willingness, and a generosity of spirit to ask: How might we do this differently? What does it look like to design a gathering that reflects who we are—in all of our differences—and the world we desire to build.

We can think of few more important questions for the church to ask.

Princeton community members, seminary staff and students are all welcome to join us! The interview will be followed by a reception.

About Priya Parker

Priya Parker’s bold approach to gatherings redefines the ways people connect, learn, and develop relationships. The acclaimed author of The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why it Matters, executive producer and host of the New York Times podcast, Together Apart, and the founder of boutique advisory firm Thrive Labs, she helps activists, elected officials, corporate executives, educators, and philanthropists create transformative, unforgettable gatherings that allow them to step back from their daily routine, rediscover their motivations, and develop strategies for innovation.

In The Art of Gathering, Parker combines fascinating case studies culled from an international cast of characters with practices to follow—and rules to break— to connect more meaningfully with friends, colleagues, and strangers. She includes examples from her attempts to create connections, illustrating which tactics worked and which ones failed.

Parker’s The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters has been named a Best Business Book of the year by Amazon, Esquire Magazine, NPR, the Financial Times, 1-800-CEO-READS and Bloomberg. She has spoken on the TED Main Stage, and her TEDx talk on purpose has been viewed over one million times.

Parker studied organizational design at M.I.T., public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School, and political and social thought at the University of Virginia.
