How are you attending to your rest routines? What needs to change? What is working?

Just remember, change is always. #Blacksky #BlackRest #BlackHealth

You are never alone.

Please remember: moss takes a really long time to grow. So, please be gentle with it.

Put the rumble tumble world down for a moment. Settle & soothe yourself. Listen for your inner music. It's going to be okay. Ask the ancestors.

Allow yourself to play. Allow yourself moments of joy. Allow yourself to connect.

It is not your singular responsibility to heal the world. #Blacksky

We do not have to be made dizzy and depleted by the state of the world. We do not have to live in a state of perpetual unrest.

Every Saturday, we hold space for your rest at our Rest Space. Even if you can't join us in person, know that rest for Black & Indigenous people is happening. #Blacksky

Stretch. Yawn. Sigh. That was delicious. Did you have a good social media fast? We did.

Thanks to everyone who joined us at the Rest Space during the fast. That was so delightful. We were so happy to be with you.

But, right now. Thanks for taking a moment to harmonize with nature with us.

Rest is now the work.
Marched enough to know exactly how far away freedom is. & that going off trail is the only safe route.

Rest is now the work. We have had our fill of unrest. It's not good for us. #BlackWomen #Rest

In the upcoming days, allow yourself to play. Allow yourself to find moments of joy. Allow yourself liberty.

Allow yourself moments of relaxed & meaningful connection - with nature, with friends, with your family and community.
