Turn ordinary meetings into places where connection & belonging grow
The Village Solution is for groups of all kinds who sense their time together could hold something deeper. These groups want more than conversation; they want connection. They want more than meeting; they want to matter to each other.
Move beyond commentary and into connection, living The Village Solution rather than just talking about it.
Yoga circles, meditation groups, holistic health communities seeking to extend stillness and compassion from individual practice into collective care.
Work groups recognizing that connection and belonging fuel creativity, collaboration, and resilience.
Groups already committed to healing and support who want to deepen their practice of showing up for one another.
Small groups, Bible studies, spiritual formation circles—any gathering seeking to embody presence and compassion in deep and tangible ways.
People who already gather—for dinner, coffee, conversation—and want to transform those meetings into something that nourishes more deeply.
The book itself describes the shared journey your group can take together. It tells the story of how modern culture led us into isolation, and how we find our way back—through Stillness, Compassion, and the rebuilding of village-like connection.
Because Carl can't sit in every circle, he created The Village Kit to join groups wherever they gather. Made up of inviting prompts and grounded, human practices that accompany the book, the Kit nurtures Stillness and Compassion, restores a felt sense of wholeness, and gently carries groups back toward the village, our truest home.
Your group already meets.
Set some time aside to use The Village Kit's practices and experience what the book describes.
Over time, you'll sense it: kinship growing, and with it the steady feeling that says, This is where we belong.
Carry the way you're together into everyday life.
The connection that forms in one group ripples outward. A faith community adopts the practices. Friends gathering for weekly dinners transform their time together. Coworkers realize their team meetings could hold something deeper. Slowly, more and more groups remember what it feels like to truly belong… and little by little, Village Culture begins its return to the human family.
Whether you're part of a book club, corporate team, recovery circle, faith community, friend group, or any gathering seeking deeper connection, The Village Solution and The Village Kit offer a pathway to greater connection.
