The Village Building Tent Gathering
A Monthly Webinar Series
Join us every month as we explore how specific connection practices (to people and nature) can help a group culture transition toward more resilience and well-being.
Each webinar explores a different Village Building topic (like mentoring, eldering, regenerative design, leadership, exploring the past, working together, peace building).
These webinars are open to everyone, no experience necessary.
Seasonal Celebrations
Wednesday, Oct 15, 2025, Live on Zoom, 18-19:30 UTC
Each season presents opportunities for beginning again, renewing connections both to people and place. How can you invitingly and respectfully mark each season, connecting with the rhythms of nature and with your community? How can celebrations uplift both universal themes and locally specific traditions that help to make meaning while encouraging a connective culture?
Cultural Elements
Wednesday, Nov 19, 2025, Live on Zoom, 19-20:30 UTC
Village Building involves consciously designing, and effectively introducing to your group, a number of connective ‘cultural elements.’ As these become normalized and habitual, they support the emergence of a more connective culture. How does connection to nature inform a connective culture? Includes a free download to begin exploring the ‘10 Stones:’ ten cultural elements that are foundational for any connective culture.
Renewal of Creative Path
Wednesday, Dec 17, 2025, Live on Zoom, 19-20:30 UTC
A two-part process for looking back in order to move forward. First, reflect on the past and notice emerging patterns in your life. Then, discerning what is supportive and connective, map out some next steps that will allow you to move forward with clarity. A popular addition to many family gatherings during the winter holiday period, ROCP can involve time together to celebrate achievements, mark milestones, grieve losses, and articulate resolutions.
Receiving Anchoring
Video Recording - Sep 17, 2025
Beneficial both for folks who are just starting out and those with plenty of experience, ‘anchoring’ refers to setting up regular mentoring sessions with someone you trust. Why is it important for someone you trust to ‘catch your story’ and support your journey on an ongoing basis? How do you initiate anchoring relationships? As a regenerative approach to preventing burnout and promoting resilience, anchoring is highly recommended for anyone involved in Village Building.
