Missing You: Love and Longing in Isolation

Mei Elliott speaks about love and longing. During this time of social distancing, many people are anticipating a holiday season without the ability to travel to be with loved ones. Missing one's friends and family is particularly pronounced during this extended period of isolation and has become a source of longing for many of us. This longing can take many shapes: longing for time with one's parents and siblings, romantic longing for a partner, the grief-based longing for a loved one who has died, or the general longing for anything that is just out of reach. Whether it's for food, sex, entertainment, etc. how can we satisfy this yearning? During this YUZ meeting, Mei Elliott explores the roots of longing as well as practices for finding freedom and wholeness in its midst.
