What would it be like to live in a well-rested world? For far too many of us, we have claimed productivity as the cornerstone of success. Brainwashed by capitalism, we subject our bodies and minds to work at an unrealistic, damaging, and machine-level pace-feeding into the same engine that enslaved millions into brutal labor for its own relentless benefit. In this world, rest, in its simplest form, becomes an act of resistance and a reclaiming of power because it asserts our most basic humanity.
Tricia Hersey, aka the Nap Bishop is an artist, theologian, and the founder of The Nap Ministry, an organization that examines rest as a form of resistance by curating sacred spaces for the community to rest through Collective Napping Experiences, immersive workshops, and performance art installations. Tricia's work is rooted in spiritual energy and centered in Black liberation, womanism, somatics, and Afrofuturism.
Join Tricia for a conversation on the liberating power of rest, daydreaming, and naps as the foundation of healing and justice. Sharing insights from her latest book, Rest Is Resistance, Tricia casts an illuminating light on our troubled relationship with rest and how to imagine and dream our way to a future where rest is exalted. Tricia reminds us that our worth does not reside in how much we produce, and not for a system that exploits and dehumanizes us.
Tricia invites us to break free from the oppressive grip of Grind Culture and elevate rest as a form of resistance and a divine human right.
Free, suggested donation of $10.
