Skip the small talk. Read (or listen), then join us for drinks and conversation about Priya Parker and 'The Art of Gathering'.

How it works:

Step 1: Read or Listen (on your own time)

• The Art of Gathering by Priya Parker

• The Ezra Klein Show — “Is Your Social Life Missing Something? This Is For You”

(Available online and through the Ottawa Public Library)

Step 2: Eat, Drink, Discuss
Come talk about the themes, ideas, and questions sparked by the material. No pressure—just thoughtful conversation in a relaxed setting. Note: Cash bar. Food and drinks are available for purchase.
