Spacious Embrace: When Feeling Lonely, Find the Friend Within

A live online conversation with renowned teacher and author Sharon Salzberg, researcher Emily Lindsay, Ph.D.; Tibetan meditation master Geshe Tenzin Wangyal; and host Alejandro Chaoul-Reich, Ph.D.

No matter how many friends we have on social media or how many people we are surrounded by, loneliness can be a constant companion. We may be yearning for a sense of support or connection, or feeling that we don’t quite fit in. We search for friendship, community, and intimacy, but what are we really seeking? Can meditation help us to feel more fulfilled and connected, even when we’re alone? Our panelists discuss the roots of loneliness from the perspectives of both science and spirituality.
