Dissolving the Illusion of Loneliness
Our society is full of people who feel lonely and isolated. But in truth, we are all naturally and profoundly interconnected. Meditation helps us let go of loneliness and replace it with a genuine feeling of connection, love, and authentic happiness.
Time & Location
Mar 29, 2025, 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM
Wicker Park, 2010 W Pierce Ave, Chicago, IL 60622, USA
Details
Despite our pervasive access to digital connections, our society is full of lonely, isolated people. Our normal perception of being distinctly separate from others is an illusion; in truth, we are all naturally and profoundly interconnected. Although we may already know this intellectually, meditation helps us genuinely to let go of our loneliness and replace it with a genuine feeling of connection, love, and authentic happiness.
This morning workshop will include two sessions of practical instruction, guided meditation, and time for questions. No previous experience is necessary and absolutely everyone is welcome!
