Going it Alone. Curling up with the Lone Wolf. Self love, The River Dove and Excavating Loneliness
This October, Adventure club took a turn as we swam around in the well of solitude. When nights begin to draw in and we take time to reflect on our summer of freedom post pandemic in the UK, the archetypal Lone Wolf begins to skulk into the zeitgeist and curl up in the empty space on the sofa beside us. Let Billie take you on an inner exploration with insights from Byron Katie, Laura Jacklin, Nick Hancock and an Audio Zine on Loneliness... and ofcourse, some fun tunes wedged in there for good measure! Perfect relaxing listen to wind down on an autumnal evening...enjoy
