I’m so glad you’re here.
For years, I’ve been building tables — around books, Mahjong, learning, laughter, and moments that matter.
Now, I’m planting a grove.
PATTI’s Grove is a place to gather, slow down, and connect.
It’s where conversations unfold naturally — sparked by a book, a game, an idea, or simply the joy of being together.
Mahj may be one of the ways we gather.
Books may be another.
But at the heart of it all is community.
This is a space for curiosity, kindness, and connection.
A place where everyone is welcome to pull up a chair, listen, share, and belong.
So take a look around.
Jump into a conversation when it feels right.
And most of all — make yourself at home.
About Patti ~ Creator of Conversations
Patti Nisenholz is a creator of conversations who believes connection begins when we slow down, pull up a chair, and gather with intention.
From a book group/ salon to shared gatherings (sometimes around a Mahjong table), Patti creates welcoming spaces which are home to conversations & gatherings that matter.
PATTI’s Grove is where those conversations continue always around community.
Book Salons in Patti’s grove
Patti created her own book club as a way to bring together all the incredible people in her life with a love for literature & create a welcoming space to share in both common & uncommon experiences.
Our Book Salons are intimate gatherings rooted in conversation & connection. Together, we explore stories/books that spark thought, invite reflection, & open the door to meaningful dialogue. These salons are less about analysis & more about sharing perspectives, listening deeply, & discovering what a book awakens in each of us.
“ I have lived a thousand lives & I have loved a thousand loves. I’ve walked on distant worlds & seen the end of times. Because I read. ~ G. Martin
For Patti, the concept of a book salon is the marriage of two of her FAV subjects: Books & People. Whether you want to connect over coffee/tea/drink of choice, explore other cultures, become more mindful, or need support, Let’s Gather in Patti’s Grove is YOUR destination! We promise you will find spark in The Grove Salon.
No matter if you are 26 or 106 years young, conversation - first gatherings where books and stories serve as the starting point, not the agenda. We create a space for dialogue, reflection, & community.
