22. how to be a better villager
The sentiment "everybody wants a village but no one is willing to be a better villager" is going around the internet right now (if you know the OG source, lmk. Right now, it's lost in the internet sauce for me). I'm talking community organizing, beyond friendships. If you have great friends, that's amazing. But we should all be focused on cultivating a wider sense of community and care right now. So, how do we actually do that? Let's talk about it...Resources Mentioned: - Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer- Elise Granata's "Becoming a High Agency Person"-Elise Granata's "7 Ideas to Jumpstart Community Practice"- Weenus_Maximus Tiktok💌 Podcast Management Website ⛅ Wild Geese Instagram 🐻 Personal Instagram TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Coming up 02:24 Robin Wall Kimmerer on Reciprocity03:30 The Three Sisters 07:25 Finding Your Unique Role in the Village 08:19 Why Urgency Doesn't Bring Community Closer 09:42 Building Up a Sense of Agency 11:06 UN-Branding Community12:58 How to Feel a Sense of Agency in Community 16:45 a Gift Economy17:40 the inevitability of conflict and inconvenience 18:03 starting on a small scale19:42 you can't bypass small talk21:33 the shared calendar
