About this episode

Tucker Walsh and Avi Maistri discuss the nuances of community and belonging, exploring various terms and their implications on relationships.

Based on Tucker's Substack article The Language of Belonging . Tucker Walsh and Avi Maistri — who first met at Dancing Rabbit Eco Village in 2018 — unpack the meaningful distinctions between networks, scenes, collectives, communities, tribes, guilds, and villages. What starts as an exploration of terminology becomes a conversation about heartbreak, vow, mismatched expectations, why commitment paradoxically creates freedom, and the gap between the words we use and the relationships we're actually living.
