The Power of the Invitation: Crafting Meaningful Beginnings

In gatherings that matter, how we invite is as important as what we invite people to do. This interactive workshop explores the often-overlooked art of invitation, drawing from the wisdom of The Art of Hosting and the insights of Priya Parker's The Art of Gathering.

Together, we’ll examine how intentional invitations can set the tone, shape the energy, and create clarity around purpose, roles, and expectations. We’ll practice crafting invitations that go beyond logistics to spark curiosity, awaken responsibility, and begin building trust before people even enter the room.

The session will be facilitated by Sarah Glenister, a coach, facilitator, and designer of participatory change processes. Sarah brings years of cross-sector experience and a thoughtful, human-centred approach to creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, and ready to contribute. 

Whether you host meetings, events, workshops, or change processes, this session will offer practical tools and reflective space to reimagine your next invitation as an act of leadership, hospitality, and transformation.
