Integration 2 | Solitude Practice

In today’s world, technology is everywhere. While it has its advantages, it can leave us feeling like we are always “online” and often never get a break. Our constant engagement with technology and social media leave us little time to rest. Such tiredness can also contribute to feelings of exhaustion, anxiety and isolation. This Integration exercise is about stepping back and unplugging. On physical, emotional, and spiritual levels, each person needs periods of solitude and silence to reset, recharge, and reconnect with what is important in one’s life. As Fr. James Martin puts it, “sometimes you need to disconnect to connect.”
