Loneliness is a difficult thing to experience, especially when COVID-19 has made us lonelier than ever. A Dutch report released in 2020 stated that because of COVID-19, 1 in 3 people felt lonely. It can be incredibly difficult to confront ourselves, but even when we do, the problem still remains that we don’t talk about it.

As our next Taboo Topic, we open this conversation to those who are feeling lonely and want to understand it to have a discussion with EL. In this workshop we’ll explore the concept of loneliness, it’s implications, and what it might look like in others. Acknowledging our feelings of loneliness can help us realise that many of us are feeling the exact same thing. It might even make us feel less lonely.

Together, we can overcome the difficulties of this pandemic, including the loneliness we feel because of it.

We invite all EL members and beyond to discuss what loneliness means to you.
