Solitude.

A very vital thing in everyone’s lives. However, as naturally born social creatures, our lives are built around connection with other people.
We have become so accustomed to the noise of the world that we no longer have or see a need to have some alone time. A desire for spending time alone in solitude is also usually equated to people who are lonely, sad, or have antisocial tendencies.

But seeking solitude is actually beneficial for your overall well-being.

So why don’t we spend more time alone? Are we scared of missing out? Scared of being seen as different? Scared of being alone?
When then, can we eventually have the time and space for ourselves?

Solo encourages people to spend time alone in order to experience the benefits it gives and improve one’s well-being. It provides the space for people to experience intentional solitude at their own pace. The solo date cards help kick-start a journey of spending time alone by suggesting different ways to be on their own. Alongside the cards is a journal which is an extension to keep track of thoughts and observations during a solo date.
