Julia delves into the idea of "social prescriptions" — creative, community-based activities prescribed as a remedy for loneliness — and how engaging in movement, nature, art, and service can help individuals reconnect with themselves and others. From shared experiences to small acts of kindness, Julia highlights the importance of belonging and why it's more than just proximity to others; it’s about finding meaningful ways to participate and show up in our communities.
