Join us for an evening of deep connection and discussion with world-traveling monk, Devamrita Swami as he helps unpack the mysterious feelings of loneliness – a growing public health problem and a hidden epidemic threatening our well-being. Having traveled the far corners of the earth for almost five decades, he brings with him a lifetime of meditative experience.
Catch yourself checking your phone, anticipating someone looking for you this weekend? Perhaps you remember having spent the day hoping someone would knock at the door. Seems like a lonely walk ahead even on a bright and sunny day. Perhaps you can hear the silence ring in your ears even amidst friends. Those who experience such loneliness struggle to withstand the deep aching in the cores of their hearts, and statistics show that more people than one might expect are suffering in this way. Scientists, based on the latest research, now say loneliness is a pain as real as hunger and thirst.
So, how do we escape the pain, get beyond loneliness, and attain a higher vision and outlook?
You don’t want to miss this.
Delicious vegan dinner, engaging, deep-diving discussion, and live music meditation!
