In an era like ours, crossed by changes that put it under pressure, with the increase in global crises and existential difficulties, the spiritual dimension of the human being emerges as a central theme. The need to reconnect with one's self, to know oneself less superficially, to rediscover a profound dialogue with one's humanity and with others emerges forcefully. Spirituality understood, then, as inner research, which ignores different cultures and religious confessions. As well as different social and economic statuses. In a world that seems to value only appearance, without emotions, centered on technology and finance and affected by globalization processes that express themselves in an anonymous and homogenizing culture, it becomes essential to rediscover the value of ethics, in order not to run the risk of losing the true meaning of life. That sense which, ultimately, is the search for the human. It is essential to acquire greater awareness of who we are and the direction we would like to go, to guarantee greater social cohesion and to adopt more sustainable behaviors also from an environmental point of view. Giving centrality back to man's inner identity, therefore, as an expression of a culture of listening and welcoming and a key element to counteract loneliness and existential emptiness.
