Embrace of Solitude

Through solitude, we can discover new things about ourselves. The Hermit has shrugged off material and superficial concerns and distractions, and has retreated to an inner sanctum. She's taken a break from the outside world to focus on herself.

Guidance of the Unconscious

The glowing star is the guiding light of her unconscious mind, and a pathway to a breakthrough. The laptop is the support of learned wisdom and knowledge to help her along the journey. It can also be a special skill that helps The Hermit cope with being alone.

Solitude and Self-Care

It's ok to be alone. Silence and meditation can help you explore your own inner worlds and lead you to new places. There's so many constant distractions that can keep you from focusing on your own self-care, from social media to job stresses to FOMO. It's time to take a break from it all, to retreat to a place that makes you feel safe with the goal of improving yourself. Don't ignore your own mental well-being, and if you need a teacher, a guide or a therapist to help you along the way, that's okay.
