About Village53

Village53 is a peer-level membership community for established professional speakers.

We bring together experienced voices through a private online platform, weekly virtual exchanges, 1:1 advisory sessions, and in-person gatherings designed to deepen connection and sharpen practice.

Village53 is co-created by its members, who are abundant-minded contributors who value learning as much as they value sharing, and who thrive in a space where generosity and experience go hand in hand.


Why 53?

Mathematically, 53 is a prime number: unbreakable, indivisible, and rare.

Much like the members of this village, each one accomplished and complete on their own, yet stronger together. That’s what Village53 is built on: individual brilliance, multiplied by community.

As it happens, 53 is also Jenny’s favorite number!
