Let’s get one thing straight: community isn’t a marketing feature. It’s not a free cup of coffee and a ping-pong table. It’s not a branded tote bag or a monthly newsletter. And it’s definitely not something you slap on a brochure because it sounds nice. Real community? It’s the guts and soul of what we do. It’s messy, magical, and utterly irreplaceable.

We say we want to slow down. Be present. Connect properly.
We talk about missing the village.
But most of us have been too busy, too stretched, too distracted to be the villager.
