Solitude as the Cure to Loneliness with Laurence Freeman

Episode Summary

"Our theme in these talks is 'Being alone together, the way we can best understand what that means and why it takes us to the heart of the Gospels is through loneliness. We can see loneliness as a characteristic of our developed affluent societies, the more affluent we become the greater the degree of loneliness is reported at all stages of lives, particularly among the young. By understanding the nature of loneliness as part of our human condition can give us some deep insights that change the way our mind actually works" Laurence Freeman OSB. In this podcast, Father Laurence Freeman takes a look at the idea of Solitude as the cure for loneliness.
