Loneliness is essentially an inside job. That is, the inability to express ourselves and be known for who we truly are.
Fact is, we come into this world alone and we leave it alone. Therefore, we must learn to live it alone, authentically. Yet, we're also social creatures, wired to connect, belong and love. So, learning to get real with ourselves and others is important.
But how do we do it? To paraphrase Carl Jung, we need to be 'unmasked'. Join us on a journey of discovery where you'll:
☕ Learn how drop your mask, explore your shadow and develop a quiet ego
☕ Explore the 4 Life Quadrants (Self-awareness, Self-management, Social awareness, Soul talk skills)
☕ Transform your daily routines and relationships
☕ Understand what it means to become a 'Community Connector' and impact a lonely world!
☕ Get Life Cafe Book 1: Loneliness Unmasked (see opposite)

Loneliness is an epidemic and a killer. It effects 1 in 3 people and takes up to 15 years off your life. Want to get real with yourself and others? Want to impact a lonely world? Then, drop your mask and find out!
Rather than trying to avoid or suppress anxiety, wouldn’t it be good if we could see it as a signal that we're on the threshold of something new, something that challenges us to grow, to change and to become more connected? It's time to find real food for your mind & soul, and unleash the hero within:
☕ Learn about the different types of anxiety
☕ Explore the BIG 5 life issues: Identity, Isolation, Death, Freedom and Meaning
☕ Learn about the hero’s journey and how to reframe anxiety
☕ Understand the games people play and learn practical skills to deal with difficult people
☕ Get Life Cafe Book 2: Anxiety as a Teacher (see opposite)
Smashed my darkest thoughts” – Karen
What’s your relationship with anxiety like? Do you run from it like an enemy or embrace it like a friend? Do you struggle with it or learn from it? What if you could use anxiety as a signal to guide you on life’s journey?
The Soul Talk Project is not designed to be a therapeutic substitute for any particular mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, psychosis or post-traumatic stress. So if you have any significant mental health concerns, we ask you not to discuss personal details about this at our Life Cafes. Instead, we strongly encourage you to seek a mental health professional for support or advice. Note, we have a clinical psychologist available @ Life Cafe Club for specialist mental health issues and counselling.
