If you want to make sense of something, you can study it.

If you want to know something, you must become it.

This month’s Community Rest Session will take you on a mind-body-soul journey to reconnect with that which is infinite, all-pervading, and ever-lasting: our true nature. Through creative, somatic, and spiritual practices, you’ll invite change to playfully express through you.

Moving, breathing, and becoming one with change, you’ll embody the potent force of nature that it is, that you always and already are.

What To Expect

Who is this for: This practice is accessible to anyone who can sit or lie down with headphones. It has been intentionally designed to provide relief for anxiety, depression, stress, overwhelm, insomnia, and/or exhaustion.

How to prepare: Change into loose-fitting clothing. Grab your blankets, pillows, and sweaters. Close the door, window, and blinds. Set up your space in a way that brings pleasure, joy, and comfort.

Headphones are recommended, but not necessary.

Overview: We'll begin with a 20-30 min activity that inspires reflection on the theme and brings newfound awareness to our relationship to rest.

Then, we’ll transition into a juicy 30-40 min guided practice featuring a combination of nervous system regulating exercises, gentle breathwork, visualization, and/or yoga nidra meditation.

Everything offered in this space is optional. Please know you’re always welcomed to do what feels good to you.

Collective Rest is committed to creating accessible spaces where tired and trauma-impacted human beings can rest and heal, together.

Our community sessions are free to acknowledge how systemic oppression — racism, capitalism, colonialism, patriarchy, and ableism — inequitably distributes the conditions and resources to feel safe enough to take rest.
