đż Kairos \| October 1st\, 2025 **What is Loneliness vs. What is Solitude?** Loneliness often carries a sense of emptiness, disconnection from others, from belonging, and sometimes even from meaning itself. It can feel like exile in the midst of existence. Solitude, however, is something different. It is not the absence of others but the presence of oneself. In solitude, being alone becomes a space for reflection, creativity, and inner freedom. In this Kairos gathering, we will ask: * When does being alone become a burden? * When can it become a gift? * How can solitude deepen our connection to ourselves and the world? * What does it mean to live with both loneliness and solitude as part of our existence? This session opens the theme of *Aloneness in Existence*, inviting us to explore not just the pain of isolation, but also the possibility hidden within it. đïž Date: Wednesday, 1st October 2025 đ Location: Bach CafĂ©, Abu Dhabi â° Time: 7:00 PM â 9:30 PM See you there!
