Core Question
"What do you think is the difference between 'loneliness' and 'solitude'?"
---
11:00 – 11:10 | Opening
· Jodi opens with a familiar scene:
"Sometimes you come home from work, open the door — and it's dark, completely silent. Do you turn on the TV? Put on some music? Or just sit there in the quiet?"
· Gently leads in:
"Today, let's take a look together — when you're alone, do you feel lonely, or do you enjoy the solitude? Or does it depend on the moment?"

11:10 – 11:40 | Layer 1: Loneliness vs. Solitude
· Jodi poses the core question:
"What, for you, is the biggest difference between 'loneliness' and 'solitude'?"
· Invite participants to share freely.
· Jodi guides with:
"What do you think usually brings on loneliness? And what brings on solitude?"
· (If anyone shares a difficult experience, respond gently — just hold the space, without prying.)

11:40 – 11:50 | Break

11:50 – 12:20 | Layer 2: When you're alone, what do you need most?
· Jodi guides:
"When loneliness comes, what do you most wish someone would do with you? And when it's solitude, what do you most want to do with yourself?"
· Invite sharing.
· Jodi responds gently, without pushing further.

12:20 – 12:30 | Closing: One sentence to your alone self
· Each person takes a moment to think of one sentence:
"When I'm on my own, I want to remember _____."
· Jodi's closing words:
"Loneliness and solitude may be the same state, but they are completely different feelings. May you, when you are alone, encounter the latter more often."
