Tricia Hersey, founder of The Nap Ministry, will hold space for collective silence, daydreaming, and a moment of deep connection to our Ancestors as we celebrate the importance of centering rest as part of our liberation. Join us as we engage with text, images, and collective rest as we imagine what it feels like to be rested and free.
