About this Event

📚Lecture: "The Quiet Habits Sustaining Our Loneliness"
🎤Speaker: Samar Almont (Author, Poet, Educator)

This lecture explores the quiet, often invisible habits that sustain loneliness in everyday life. Not the dramatic kind of isolation, but the subtle patterns, the ways we withdraw, delay connection, or stay slightly out of reach without noticing we’re doing it.

Rather than treating loneliness as a fixed emotional state, the talk looks at it as something shaped by repetition, environment, and learned behaviour. By making these small patterns visible, we can begin to understand how they form and what it takes to interrupt them.

Samar Almont is an author, poet, educator (MA, Education | Sociology). A mother and community voice exploring resilience, belonging, and the invisible social habits that shape how we connect.
A Yemeni diaspora voice born and raised across Iraq, Yemen, the UK, Malaysia, and Canada, her life has been shaped by displacement, movement, and return. Author of My Seventh Rebuild, a memoir on survival, identity, and rebuilding, both individually and collectively.
