I’m reading the Art of Gathering by Priya Parker. I wished I’d read this many years ago. Anyone who gathers people together in any setting must read this book. Some of it you will have thought about, but Parker articulates it all in such an accessible, insightful way and gives great examples and tips for us to use. Highly recommend

So glad you're liking this one, Ruthy! Priya's newsletter is also great, and full of virtual gathering ideas and insight. https://www.priyaparker.com/newsletter
