The power of practicing connection

Recently in a conversation, a friend mentioned that perhaps we don’t feel lonelier because we don’t know how to connect anymore but rather it’s a dormant skill. At some point, whether it be the automation of work, the rise of social media, or perhaps the pandemic-induced recent cold-turkey stop of in-person gatherings (hello 2020), our skill in connecting in person or in meaningful and fun ways needs a workout. This podcast about being an engaged neighbor rather than just a good neighbor gives some great tips for how you can start practicing connection.
