Discussion: Loneliness and Connection

What does loneliness actually look like for people in this stage of life?

Loneliness can show up at any stage of life, even when we appear busy, capable, or surrounded by others. As life changes, many people find themselves thinking more deeply about connection, belonging, and what it means to feel truly seen.

This conversation is an opportunity to share experiences and insights about loneliness and connection in a thoughtful and respectful setting.

We aim to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where people can speak from personal experience, listen openly, and reflect together. This is not a space for advice-giving, but for sharing using **“I” statements** rather than **“we” statements**.
If this kind of conversation speaks to you, you are warmly welcome.

Spots are limited to 10 in-person participants.
We’ll be meeting in the Social Room at Victoria Plaza, the condominium building where I live.

When you arrive, please buzz 152 at the main entrance and I’ll let you into the building.

The Social Room is located on the main floor, immediately to the right after you enter the building.

There are 5 visitor parking spots directly in front of the main entrance.

Register your car in the lobby if you find a spot. There is also parking on Victoria Promenade and on the east side of 117 st, north of 100 Ave.

Lastly, bring your own refreshments.
