The Gathering Effect
The Gathering Effect is a podcast about the transformative power of coming together. Hosted by Sawdah, a curious and soulful facilitator, the show dives into the minds and hearts of people who create intentional gatherings—whether through art, dinners, storytelling, or community events. Each episode unpacks how connection is designed, how space is held, and what it really takes to gather in ways that feel alive, brave, and meaningful. ✨ The mission is twofold: To inspire listeners to attend more gatherings by showcasing the magic that’s already happening around them. To empower more people to create gatherings of their own—ones that disrupt loneliness and spark aliveness. From cozy dinner parties to immersive art collectives, The Gathering Effect celebrates the ripple effect that one good gathering can have on a soul, a city, or the world.
