Loneliness impairs us. We are all pack animals and we all need meaningful connection with others. Many of us have gotten rusty in our social skills, especially now. We have a great time in Friendship Groups for Humans. This is not therapy, this is a peer-support group with a focus on connection and wellness. We practice loving kindness together to create a safe space to share what's going on for you in your life as we find new flexibility to co-create more meaningful relationships and experiences in life. Online. Looking for locations around Church/Wellesley.
