ASU Osher Lifelong Learning Institute - Transcending Loneliness

The experience of loneliness is a profoundly personal and nuanced, yet undeniably social phenomenon. Participants will begin by exploring the essence of loneliness and its role as a call to action, urging us to forge deeper connection with ourselves and others. We will examine our vulnerabilities and how embracing them strengthens our resilience and shared humanity. The class emphasizes practical mindful self-compassion practices by Dr. Nika Gueci, executive director at ASU's Center for Mindfulness, Compassion and Resilience, to transform our relationship with solitude and loneliness, enhancing our connections with others. Through reflective exercises and guided practices, participants will learn to transform loneliness by nurturing compassion for themselves and forging meaningful relationships in their communities.
