| People often say it takes a village to raise a child, sustain a community and more. But they don’t often talk about what it takes to be a villager. Priya Parker, author of The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters, says the key to creating meaningful connections is putting yourself out there. She shared tips with Life Kit on how you can cultivate community where you live.
👭 Host gatherings you want to attend. This will help you create the community you want to be a part of.
👭 Find “yes” friends. These people are reliable and are game to try something new with you.
👭 Become a regular at spaces you love, like the gym or your favorite bookstore. People will then remember you, and you can make friends. |
