How to Be a Villager: Belonging, Boundaries, and Repair in Community

A Community Workshop on Belonging, Boundaries, and Repair

We are living in a time where many of us long for community, but were never truly taught how to be in one.

How to Be a Villager is a guided, experiential workshop designed to help individuals and communities rebuild the soft skills that make belonging possible: self-awareness, communication, safety, accountability, and care.
As a community we will learn how to exist well within a web of relationships without losing ourselves.

This workshop is grounded in reflection, embodied practice, and practical tools that participants can carry into their families, friendships, workplaces, and communities.

• We begin with self-awareness—because how we show up with ourselves shapes the health of the collective.
• Participants will explore:
• The relationship between self-awareness and community impact
• How personal patterns influence group dynamics
• Affirmations and simple rituals for relating to oneself and others with care
• How responsibility to self supports responsibility to the village
• Conflict resolution, forgiveness, and repair tactics
• The art of recieving support
• Understanding interdependence as strength, not weakness

This workshop may be supportive if you:

• Long for deeper, healthier community
• Feel cautious or burned by past group experiences
• Want to practice belonging without self-abandonment
• Are interested in collective healing and relational skill-building

This workshop is not group therapy or crisis support.

• Guided reflection and discussion
• Embodied practices
• Practical tools you can use immediately
• A respectful, facilitated environment
• Sharing is always optional
