Podcasts about Villager

Hello to you listening in Dundalk, Ireland! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. I can't get away from it. The Camino de Santiago keeps tugging at me. I remember two truths from the Camino: you will get blisters and you will get unexpected kindness from strangers. I became intimately familiar with both. As to the blisters: wear proper boots, air out your feet every two hours, keep your socks dry, watch for hot spots. But, as careful as you are you'll likely get blisters - the badge of honor on long treks - so you can trade stories and  treatment solutions with other pilgrims, like liberal applications of Vick's Vapo-Rub. Who knew? As to the gifts of kindness, they show up when most needed and least expected: a cold bottle of water, a wooden bench with free fruit and juice, directions from a villager, or encouraging words offered in a time of uncertainty or doubt. Just like magic.   Story Prompt: As you walk your life, what are a few of the ups and downs (the kindnesses and boot blisters) that have shaped your life? Write that story and share it out loud!  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us! You will have wonderful company as we continue to walk our lives together.

It seems that the modern world is in its isolation era, leaving us craving the easy comfort of irl camaraderie. Ideally, the kind that comes without the need to buy a ticket or split a bill. Because becoming a villager isn't just a salve for loneliness, it's a rebellion against consumerism.After a whole season of following the money, we're wrapping up our finale contemplating how we can create community without it. We're hearing from our community about how they show up as villagers, and how they start their own villages. Turns out you don't need to bean extrovert, have a huge group chat, or be a pillar in your community. You just have to show up. These relationships we make with our community create bonds that strengthen our ability to adapt in climate disasters, financial instability, and even supply chain woes. And getting started is easier than you think.

  It started with an email about 2 years ago. Now and again, I’d get the same question. Then yesterday I got another email asking the same question. I reply to each email, but I figured it was worth telling the rest of you about it. There's a rhythm to life inside Hot Springs Village. If you live here long enough, you begin to notice it. Some residents are here year-round, fully immersed in the daily routines, community events, and long-term life of the Village. Others come seasonally, returning for part of the year before heading elsewhere when the weather or family schedules change. In this episode of HSV Inside Out, I explore the quiet reality of “snowbird” living in Hot Springs Village and how part-time and full-time residents shape the culture, energy, and identity of the community. From seasonal homes and rental properties to shifting social activity and neighborhood rhythms, this episode takes a thoughtful look at what happens when a community lives in cycles. Whether you're a full-time Villager, a seasonal resident, or considering a move to HSV, this conversation offers a deeper understanding of the unique balance that makes Hot Springs Village unlike almost anywhere else. But it’s not likely what you’re thinking because Hot Springs Village is unique.   • Join Our Free Email Newsletter • Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel (click that bell icon, too) • Join Our Facebook Group • Support Our Sponsors (Click on the images below to visit their websites.) __________________________________________ __________________________________________ __________________________________________

Many of us lack meaningful community in our lives, either from a complete absence of relationships or simply the sense of disconnection from those around us. In response, a growing number of people attempt to cultivate community based on shared values and interests, which inadvertently reproduces the very labeling that keeps real connection forming. The systemic forces that created this separation are real, but what if the deeper problem is that most of us have never actually learned how to commune with each other in the first place? In this episode, Nate is joined by Nora Bateson, creator of Warm Data Labs, alongside her colleagues Jonathan Goldsmith and Lucas Jackson, for a rich conversation about what it actually takes to build community and why so many of our attempts fail. Drawing on Nora's concept of "communing" as the necessary precursor to community, the group explores how genuine human connection is being undermined by algorithmic fragmentation, scripted discourse, and cultures rooted in transaction and individualism. Rather than offering a formula for community-building, they make the case for something older: practices of mutual learning, radical hospitality, and a way of relating to others that breaks us out of the confines of our perceived roles. Together, they argue that the first step to being part of community is letting go of preconceived notions of what you are owed from the people around you, instead taking the first leap of giving more of oneself, and subsequently setting in motion the cycles of trust and generosity that keep a system alive.   What fundamental pieces get lost when communities skip directly to organizing, logistics, and shared objectives? Why do the dark triad traits find less hold in spaces built around curiosity and mutual learning? And how does the act of generosity shift when it comes from a sense of shared aliveness and the knowledge that tending to the broader whole is how we must also tend to ourselves?    About Nora Bateson Nora Bateson is a filmmaker, writer, researcher, and educator, and the founder and president of the International Bateson Institute. Her work focuses on the study of complex living systems and the development of "Warm Data" – a methodology for understanding the relational and contextual dimensions of systemic health. She is the author of Small Arcs of Larger Circles, and the creator of the acclaimed documentary An Ecology of Mind, a portrait of her father, systems thinker Gregory Bateson. Nora's work spans education, ecology, health, organizational change, and community, with the unifying thread of asking how we perceive and tend to the complexity of life together.   About Jonathan Goldsmith Jonathan Goldsmith is a therapist, facilitator, and educator working at the intersection of systems thinking, relational practice, and community wellbeing. As a core member of the International Bateson Institute team, Jonathan brings the lens of mutual learning and ecological awareness to his work with individuals, groups, and organizations. He is a trained Warm Data host and has facilitated labs internationally.   About Lucas Jackson Lucas Jackson is an educator, facilitator, and Warm Data host based in Vermont. He found his way to the International Bateson Institute through the Warm Data host training in 2020, and has since woven the practice of Warm Data into his teaching, community work, and relational life. His work centers on learning, perception, and the conditions that allow people to genuinely encounter one another.   Show Notes and More   Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

Why does modern life feel so disconnected? In this episode, Cara Stern sits down with journalist and Scout leader Harrison Lowman to talk about the decline of community in Canada, and what it takes to rebuild it.From scouting and volunteering to neighbourhood pubs, churches, and “third spaces,” they explore why strong communities don't happen automatically, how urban design shapes social connection, and why so many people feel isolated despite living closer together than ever before. They also discuss parenting, trust, loneliness, suburban life, condo living, and the importance of showing up for your neighbours.Topics covered:Why people feel more isolated todayThe decline of volunteering in CanadaHow urban design affects communityWhy “third spaces” matterParenting, support systems, and “the village”High-trust vs low-trust societiesHow scouting builds community and leadershipWhat it takes to know your neighbours againSubscribe for more conversations on housing, cities, policy, and the future of Canada.Chapters:00:00 Why Community Is More Than Good Urban Design02:22 Scouts, Service, and Teaching Kids to Contribute04:04 Why Modern Life Makes Community Harder to Build07:47 Third Places, Neighbours, and High-Trust Communities11:55 A Surprise Pie and the Power of Trust14:55 Finding Community Through Volunteering and Shared Purpose17:17 You Have to Be a Villager to Have a Village19:34 Can We Design Communities That Bring People Together?Research/links:» Volunteer wellbeing: what works and who benefits? https://whatworkswellbeing.org/resources/volunteer-wellbeing-what-works-and-who-benefits/ Exploring the Effects of Volunteering on the Social, Mental, and Physical Health and Well-being of Volunteers: An Umbrella Review - PMC https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10159229/Hosted by Mike Moffatt & Cara Stern & Sabrina MaddeauxProduced by Meredith MartinFunded by the Neptis Foundation https://neptis.org/

What does real community actually look like? In this episode, Ash and Shay unpack Galatians 6:2 and the challenge of living out a faith that doesn’t just talk about “community” but actually practices it. From meal trains and late-night calls to simply choosing inconvenience over comfort, they explore what it means to truly carry each other’s burdens. They talk honestly about how easy it is to want a “village” without ever being willing to be a villager — and how real friendship often shows up in the small, unglamorous moments of consistency and sacrifice. Because the truth is, community doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built by people who keep showing up, even when it costs them something. “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's a common idea of how it takes a village to raise or support someone. A village is a great way to think of what the church, the community of the people of Jesus, is. But what does it actually take to be part of a village? It's harder to know than we might think, and even when we do know it can be even more difficult to actually live it. In a time when people are so lonely and desperately need to be part of the community of Jesus, learning better what Scripture says about how to be a villager is increasingly relevant. In this message, Pastor Julie shares some practical, insightful, and challenging suggestions for how you can be a villager at Res City.

When it comes to having a village, everyone wants one. We want the thoughtful birthday celebrations, the check in texts, and all the little loving gestures that make you feel seen. But no one really talks about what it actually takes to have that kind of village in the first place.Because the truth is, you do have to be a villager to have a village. You have to show up. You have to remember the birthdays, send the check in text, and be present. But somewhere along the way, that gets twisted into thinking you have to hold up the entire village…and that's the part that people lose themselves in.This episode is about that line between showing up for people and overextending yourself in the name of people pleasing, feeling guilty or wanting to be the glue. It's about what it means to be a villager, without losing yourself in the process. Because a village is made up of dozens of people, and it's not up to just one person to keep it thriving.SocialsOTBS Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@onthebrightsidepodd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠OTBS TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@onthebrightsidepodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caroline's Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@carolinesusko⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caroline's Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@carolinesusko⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Social media inquiries: carolinesusko20@gmail.comPodcast Inquiries: onthebrightsidepod20@gmail.comMore about me (Amazon Storefront, LTK, Podcast Course etc): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WANT TO SEE A GUEST GET ON THE MIC?

"Everyone wants a village, but nobody wants to be a villager." Seo a ndeirtear faoi dhaoine sa lá atá inniu ann - we all want that community who will support us in uair na práinne, but are we bothered inconveniencing ourselves to support someone else? San eip seo, we discuss how to be a villager - showing up for friends instead of cancelling (yes, fiú má tá tú beagáinín tuirseach!), inviting people to tag along for errands, agus roinnt eile.

In this installation of Forgotten Fairytales, we explore neglected 19th century writer Mary de Morgan and one of her stories. The Toy Princess follows a princess who grew up away from her kingdom, returning to discover that her father has replaced her with an enchanted, wooden look-alike. What's more, the people of the kingdom much prefer this living doll–– that is complacent and quiet––to the real princess, who has real emotions and opinions.

Angela and Bradford get delightfully real (and a little spicy) about The Bonding Project (https://www.bondingproject.com/) from the Center for Positive Sexuality; a research-driven relationship quiz that's basically Myers-Briggs for intimacy, mapping how you bond across dimensions like stability vs exploration, independence vs togetherness, and structure vs flexibility. They tease apart the 16 relationship archetypes, then reveal their own results: Bradford as a Villager and Angela as a... well you'll have to listen and see! Using their dynamic as an example, they talk compatibility, friction points, and how shared rituals can keep love connected without feeling trapped. Want to help us out?

In this episode, we talk about how this phenomenon shows up in the therapy room. Some clients feel their asking for help is burdensome to their friends, so they keep to themselves, even when they want to develop deeper relationships. Some people are discarding friendships for seemingly innocuous mistakes. This idea that we 'don't owe anyone anything' is costing us connection. As therapists, we can support these folks to approach their relationships in alignment with the kind of relationships they want to cultivate, rather than from a place of blame. So what do you think? Have some people taken the recent social messaging about boundary-setting too far? We're taking the couch on the road!

"Everyone wants a village but doesn't want to be a villager."

Have you considered what it takes to age in place? Infrastructure like handrails and ramps comes to mind, but what about a network of people with symbiotic relationships? That's exactly what Missoula Aging Services' new Villages model creates: a grassroots network of vetted volunteers who offer their skills to others.This week the commissioners spoke with Ria Overholt, community services director at Missoula Aging Services, about this innovative model that supports elderly residents and provides meaningful connection that goes both ways. Text us your thoughts and comments on this episode! Thank you to Missoula's Community Media Resource for podcast recording support!

A friend said something to me a few months ago (while I was complaining) that stopped me in my tracks: “Everyone wants a village — but nobody wants to be a villager.”And once I heard it, I couldn't un-know it. So many of us (AKA, me!) say we want deeper friendships, stronger community, people who show up for us… yet we're participating in a culture that prioritizes convenience, hyper-independence, comfort, and productivity over closeness. We've optimized ourselves out of connection. We interact with services, not people. We protect our peace so hard, we don't even consider the needs of others. We complain about loneliness and how hard it is to make friends as adults, but most people opt out of the effort and inconvenience that comes with community and togetherness.So today, we're unpacking the loneliness epidemic, the friendship recession, and what modern society is getting wrong about community-building. Most importantly, we cover how to actually be a villager, even when you're busy, burnt out, uncomfortable, or socially awkward.We weren't meant to do life alone. And the village you're looking for might start with you.If you've been craving deeper friendships, more support and belonging, and being a part of something bigger than yourself, this episode is your reminder that community is built through effort, presence, generosity, and a willingness to be inconvenienced for the sake of care and connection.Tune in to hear:What it really means to “be a villager” (and why closeness comes at a cost)The role convenience culture plays in loneliness and isolationThe mental and physical health benefits of strong social tiesWhy self-care is overrated, because healing isn't a solo sportHow to start building your village through consistent micro-connectionsReciprocity, generosity, and why community is about equity, not equalitySaying yes more, and becoming a supportive attendeeHow to avoid social burnout and people-pleasingHow to show up as a village leader (the art of hosting and building what doesn't exist)Taking social risks and dealing with rejectionLetting yourself show up imperfectly — messy house, bad mood, and all Sign up for our monthly adulting newsletter:teachmehowtoadult.ca/newsletter Follow us on the ‘gram:@teachmehowtoadultmedia@gillian.bernerFollow on TikTok: @teachmehowtoadultSubscribe on YouTube

You've probably heard the phrase "Everyone wants a village, but no one wants to be a villager" recently, and we are discussing! We dive into the dynamics of friendship, why people aren't showing up for their friends as much, when boundaries and "protecting your peace" hinder community building, managing conflict with friends, engaging with friends on social media, and tips for being a better villager. We also discuss the sentiment of "you don't have to go to weddings anymore" AND we also put together a matrix to determine the events you do and don't have to attend. Before we get into the topic, Rayna got a jump scare at the nail salon and Ashley had a traumatizing experience in a public restroom. Enjoy!

With the holidays season upon us, we wanted to make sure we gave everyone some time off, especially the amazing ladies working hard for wintHER. So we went back to the early days of the village when Paul, groogruxdave and Kev did an impromptu Mars Attacks watch along and posted it to an old podcast feed. ACK! We unearthed that recording to let you hear the awful audio from groogrux (glass case of conference room emotion, lol) and how Kev and Paul have always been audio perfection and movie insiders themselves. Don't forget to listen in to Kevs amazing Austin Danger Pod, you really should be by now.AND the new hot pod on the block, Laurie Strode Trap House, for all the 21st century grime/horror/alt media we have maybe tried to forget, but secretly we crave....Shout out to The Village and the hosts of 70MM for making a most excellent community.

Making friends as an adult is HARD. Between busy schedules, social anxiety, and the fear of rejection, it's easy to feel like deep, meaningful friendships are out of reach. But real community isn't something you find—it's something you build. In this episode, we're talking about what it actually takes to create strong adult friendships, why biblical fellowship matters (Hebrews 10:24-25, Proverbs 27:17), and how to be the kind of friend you're wanting others to be for you. If you've ever felt lonely, disconnected, or frustrated by surface-level relationships, this conversation will provide practical, encouraging advice. Whether you're looking to make friends as an adult, strengthen your marriage through friendships, or build a Christ-centered community, this episode will equip you with the tools to be the kind of friend who stands out—and to cultivate the village you've been longing for.
