Thank you to everyone who came along to our 'Politics of Rest' Nourishing Network workshop today. 🌻

During the brilliant session hosted by Ravideep Kaur, we considered our own relationship to rest within the wider context of how it is viewed by society. Holding safe spaces for conversations about rest, grief, and how systemic oppression limits our ability to process and recover is vitally important for our health as individuals, as a community, and as a society.

👉The workshop was created around the article 'Rest is not Resistance, and That is OK' (on Cancer, Grief, & Audre Lorde by Trey Washington), you can read it at:

Tomorrow's workshop is focused on critically examining our individual relationship to rest situating it within its wider context of systemic oppression.

Utilising the article ‘Rest is not Resistance, and That is OK’ (on Cancer, Grief, & Audre Lorde by Trey Washington) as our backdrop we will delve into questions around who gets to rest within a system committed to our over productivity and ‘unrest’?

In a safe and supported environment we will open up enquiries around the concept of choice. Digging deeper to reveal who (if any of us) possess real and free options in a capitalistic, oppressive structure?

Be ready to tenderly interrogate how these structures impact us internally and show up externally in day-to-day life. Leaving with thoughtful takeaways on how as individuals we can change our relationship to rest in order to move towards collective care for all.

Your host – Ravideep Kaur is a writer, poet, speaker, dreamer & facilitator – her approach is multifaceted but centres the intentional disruption of oppressive structures. She's interested in deconstructing and decolonising normative modes of knowledge production, inviting us to shift our gaze towards the natural world, the dream space, embodiment and ancestral wisdom.
