Week After Easter Carnival
2024-04-07 11:00 - 12:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Sanctuary Lawn

Project Unlonely
2024-04-21 18:00 - 19:00 | Sanctuary, 538 Camino Manzanas, Thousand Oaks, CA, 91360
April 7- May 11 – 6:00pm Sanctuary
Are you lonely? If you find it tough to answer, you’re not alone. Loneliness often carries a stigma, making it hard to discuss openly. But the truth is that we all feel lonely from time to time. It’s part of being human. Think about loneliness not as a problem, but as a chance to get to know yourself better.
Through being curious about your own loneliness, you start a journey of self-discovery that can lead to stronger connections with both yourself and those around you. Being curious means asking where your loneliness comes from and what it feels like. Our goal is to keep your curiosity alive by sharing insights about loneliness and how it relates to you, the people you know, and society as a whole.
We hope you’ll gain a new perspective on your own experience with loneliness and how to navigate it!
