SATURDAY SALON; Bringing Conversation and Community Back Into Our Lives Valerie Davisson

A SATURDAY SALON is a fun way to create time and space for rich conversations, and a great way to connect with friends, colleagues, neighbors and family to talk about what"s really on our minds. A unique and inspiring book, SATURDAY SALON entertains, educates and motivates the reader in every chapter with humor, research, personal stories and practical applications. First, SATURDAY SALON is a guide to hosting your own Saturday Salon, providing as much or as little detail as the modern host needs, from making their first guest list to closing the door on the last satisfied guest. Second, it s a tour through the history of conversation salons, from the Ancient Greeks and 18th century France, sweeping back and forth across continents, genders, and time zones, culminating in the well-muscled 21st century salons of today. Finally, using humor, scientific data and personal stories, SATURDAY SALON shows how the flexible, democratic format can be adapted to any environment, featuring Singles, Artist, School, Business, Political and Family Salons. There is no agenda, and the unique Talking Stick format and participant-selected topics are the keys to success no matter whom you gather together for refreshing conversation. So, why wait?
