Their shape

The Village

Where everyone is known by name.

The Village is built on belonging, where everyone knows everyone and relationships are the point. Its gift is loyalty and warmth, its challenge is scaling beyond the intimacy that makes it work.

Also reads toward The Guild, The League and The Movement.

Strengths

→Tight community and genuine belonging.

→Decisions feel shared and fair.

→Members show up, for each other and the work.
