The Atlantic recently published a feature about the loneliness epidemic that many Americans have fallen victim to — by our own doing in many cases. But what if there was a way back in to a healthier social life, one where the phone takes a back seat to meaningful friendships and experiences?

If you are, have ever been, or know someone, who are struggling with loneliness, do you have any thoughts on what could possibly make you/them want to go out?

Could be any activity (within reason) that can be advertised as open to everyone in the local community. Examples are culinary group, philosophy café, boardgame nights, book club, science café, a group that goes for walks together.. Would love other suggestions as well.
