How to Be a Villager
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.
What We’ll Explore Together
Understanding Ourselves & Our Village
- 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
