If loneliness isn’t a wound to heal, then what?

The Dharma of Loneliness is a contemplative, heart-forward podcast hosted by spiritual counselor and Buddhist chaplain, Rev Syd Yang. Each episode invites listeners into a softer, more spacious relationship with one of our most challenging human experiences: loneliness.

Instead of treating loneliness as a problem to solve, this podcast explores it as a wise teacher, a companion, a practice of liberation and an unexpected form of love—one that can reveal our deepest longings, sharpen our intuition, and help us grow in ways connection alone cannot. Through both intimate and playful conversations with other spiritual leaders, healing practitioners and artists, Rev Syd offers a sanctuary for anyone who has ever felt the ache of being alone and sensed there might be something sacred inside it.

Together, we ask:

What if loneliness is a form of love that helps us remember who we are?

What if it is calling us back to ourselves, to each other, and into a radical possibility of inter-being?

Whether you're navigating a personal transition, longing for community, or simply curious about the spiritual texture of being human, The Dharma of Loneliness offers companionship on the path—and a reminder that even in solitude, we are not alone.
