When We All Get Together: A Guide for the Intentional Host (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781589303201)

When We All Get Together is a guide designed to help a host/hostess tap into a deeper level of cultivating intimate gatherings. A host's role is often equated to someone who coordinates the logistics and is thoughtful about the presentation elements of the event. For some, that is the full extent of our desire to host. For others, we are looking to have a meaningful impact on our loved ones and community through intentional hosting and hospitality. In When We All Get Together, Moore reminds us that it is not always about grand gestures, but delicate hints of thoughtful hospitality that create a welcoming environment. It goes beyond entertaining. The role of host is vital - we supply the vibe, recognize the vibe, cultivate the vibe and most importantly protect the vibe. When we are mindful of the vibe we want to tap into and cultivate, we then create a space where people feel connected, welcomed and wanted. The invitation for our guests to be authentically them is critical in this day and age.

"Entertaining is about honoring the host. Hospitality is about honoring the hosted."
