Loneliness has been hidden for too long, yet it sits at the root of the fractures in our lives, communities, and systems–from AI shaping our attention and relationships, to eroding trust in democracy, to cities and neighborhoods built for isolation, to fractured family and spiritual practices, to extractive economics and climate emergency.

It’s time to face it and humanize it. Together, we experiment with ways to understand loneliness more deeply, transforming it from a personal flaw into a shared space for inquiry, community care, and meaningful relationships.

How we relate is who we are.

The Oneliness Project explores how we relate to ourselves, to each other, and to the world.

By tending to our inner lives, practicing dialogue and community care with others, and turning insights into change, we inspire new ways of showing up—in our relationships, our communities, and as citizens of a shared world.

  • I love reading your newsletters — they always feel like a conversation with a friend who truly gets it. Your words have helped me see loneliness not just as an absence, but as a way to deeper relationships.”

  • “I have an increased body awareness, the difficult emotions don't get stuck that much due to tuning into it again during the practice and relaxing the body with the moment of gratitude. I feel like I don't get so reactive anymore, or I notice faster if I do and get myself out of it faster.”
