An evening of reflection, community and rest — inspired by Tricia Hersey's Rest is Resistance. Book club and collage-making

We're not here to just talk about rest. We're here to practice it.

Join us for an evening inspired by Tricia Hersey's Rest is Resistance — a book that names what so many of us already feel in our bodies: that grind culture is not neutral, and rest is not a luxury we have to earn.

This is a space to slow down, reflect together, and leave a little lighter.

What to expect:

🕠 Arrival & food — come as you are, settle in, eat something good

📖 Book club discussion, led by Dr. Lateesha Osbourne — whether you've read the book cover to cover or just heard the title and felt something, you're welcome here

✂️ Collage session, led by Takyiwa Danso — a hands-on space to reclaim what rest means to you, no artistic experience required

🕯️ Closing ritual — we'll build a collective resistance wall together, a shared reminder that we're not doing this alone

This isn't about productivity-hacking your way to "better rest." It's about giving yourself permission — and building that permission in community.

Come tired. Come curious. Come exactly as you are. Food and Soft Drinks Provided.
