All tagged connect with others
Last Saturday, 12 women joined me for the first online creativity and connection art class. My heart was singing as I watched these wonderful ladies creating and chatting away. The best part for me was catching up with friends, some who I hadn’t seen for 10 years.
There were friends from Coffs Harbour, Boat Harbour, the Mornington Peninsula even as far as Vancouver Canada as well as of course many areas of Sydney.
We live in such amazing times of technical connectivity and yet there is an epidemic of loneliness, restlessness and disconnection. Could this disconnection actually be the result of a disconnect from our souls. Surely we are body, mind and spirit….and yet many struggle to connect with their spirit in a conscious and ongoing way.
As tempting as it is to snuggle up in winter and watch endless episodes on Netflix, we are social creatures by nature and studies show how important it is for us to engage socially.
There are many benefits in connecting with others, such as reduced stress levels, better mental and physical health, and even longevity.
