The Connection Cure: A Conversation on Social Prescribing
Join Silver Hill and community partners New Canaan Community Foundation and the Congregational Church of New Canaan at the New Canaan Library for a special event with journalist, author, and podcaster, Julia Hotz, for a deep look into the critical role that human connection plays in enhancing mental and spiritual health.
In her fascinating and actionable book, the Connection Cure, Hotz draws on scientific studies to show how social interactions can significantly reduce stress and anxiety, improve mood, boost immune function, and elevate our sense of purpose and inner peace.
Focusing on five core elements: Movement, Nature, Art, Service, and Belonging, Hotz posits that nurturing deep relationships not only fosters emotional resilience but also serves as a crucial antidote to the pervasive feelings of loneliness and disconnection in today’s society. With practical exercises and reflective prompts, the book and this event will offer direction in developing emotional intelligence, deepening connections, and incorporating spiritual practices into daily life.
Elm Street Books will be on site for book sales and signing.
