conversations on the communal life

These days, we can be social at the swipe of a fingertip, but despite our instant access to one another, connection is far from easy. Relationships often remain strained, thin, or at the surface. Loneliness swells. Many of us are hiding in our corners, wanting to be seen and known but too weary, afraid, or uncertain of how to inch closer. And if you too have felt it, you are in the right place.

Human Together is a podcast for people who agree it is not good to be alone (but secretly wonder whether it might be easier).

It is for all of us who waver daily between longing and belonging, intimacy and isolation, making plans and then breaking them. It is a space for actual human people who crave a communal life but have also had some wounds along the way. Here we recognize our complexities, make room for our differences, and lean in with curiosity and compassion because we are people who want to love well and to explore all the ways we can be more human together.
