The loneliness epidemic is more than just a feeling of isolation; it’s a health crisis. 50% of Americans say they experience measurable levels of loneliness on a daily basis. Humans are creatures of community, so why do we feel so alone? Episode 1 of Connection from Here is about creating community after leaving religion: finding new paths to connection.
This week, we’re exploring this diminishing feeling of connection, digging into the decline of traditional community spaces like religious institutions and how the digital age, while connecting us in some ways, is leaving us feeling more isolated than ever. We're not just talking about the problem, though. We're starting a journey to find solutions, to rebuild meaningful connections, and to find new ways to ask those big life questions we all have.
Topics covered:
The physical and emotional implications of the loneliness epidemic.
As we face an unprecedented era of disconnection, it's essential to rethink how we build communities that inspire care and belonging. Find us on social media and let us know your experience of finding community outside of religion.
