This showcased event has concluded.
Loneliness and social isolation can be experienced as keenly as physical pain.
The flip side of our deep need for meaningful human connections is that we can end up feeling isolated and hollow when they are out of reach.
This fact has been brought into sharp relief by the pandemic, with lockdowns, social distancing and self-isolation forcing us to literally stand apart from those we crave to be alongside.
Why is it that loneliness hurts so much? In a world of social media saturation, can we ever really be isolated? Is solitude sometimes a good thing? How can we be more sensitive to the feelings of loneliness and isolation felt by others?
Join us for this exploration of the nature of loneliness and what it can tell us about the importance of human connection.
This event is part of 'The Ethics of' trilogy which includes 'The Ethics of Sex' and 'The Ethics of Death'.
Catch all three events for $30 live stream or $90 in person
