About Priya Parker
Welcome to Group Life
Hi there. I’m Priya Parker.
For the past twenty years, I’ve been helping people and teams navigate the space between each other — whether that’s families in conflict, executives facing tough decisions, or vibrant communities trying to hold together across difference. I’m a conflict resolution facilitator, strategic advisor, and the author of The Art of Gathering: How We Meet And Why It Matters, where I distill how anyone can make the gatherings of their lives more meaningful, vibrant and connected.
I came to this work early. I grew up between two radically different households — Indian, vegetarian, Buddhist on one side, and white, evangelical, meat‑eating on the other — and in a fractured family that left me with lifelong questions: How do people come together despite difference?
