Events and gatherings that lead us back to each other.
In these talks, The Village Solution is experienced, not explained. People feel invited into something real—a return to each other. And that experience naturally leads them to want to deepen what they've just touched, to carry it into their own lives and communities.
These aren't lectures about theory. They're invitations into a different way of being together—a way that feels both ancient and urgently needed, familiar and revolutionary.
Carl's presentation style is shaped by two complementary worlds. The first is his eight-year tenure as a university professor, developing the ability to communicate complex concepts with clarity, without diminishing their depth. The second is his work as an international trainer and supervisor with the International Integrative Psychotherapy Association (IIPA), where he designed and delivered experiential training programs in the U.S. and taught experiential workshops in England, France, Italy, and Slovenia.
Together, these experiences allow Carl to teach in ways that are both intellectually stimulating and experientially grounded, helping The Village Solution resonate across disciplines, cultures, and borders—and fostering conversations that extend long after the event concludes.
Your ache has a name and a two-million-year history. Together, we'll explore the absence it points to—and begin the walk home.
You've been searching for a long time. What you're looking for isn't out there—it's right here, between us. It's called the village. Let's build it.
Walk in searching. Walk out belonging. A full day to practice what it means to be villagers—and come home to each other.
What if you didn't just read about it… but lived it? A 12-month journey. Strangers become villagers. Villagers become a village.
These talks and workshops are for anyone who feels the quiet ache of exhaustion and isolation and is ready for something different. They're for educators, therapists, leaders, faith communities, organizations, wellness practitioners… and you.
