Join us on Monday 12/9 from 4-6pm in the MSSC MPR for Revolutionizing Rest as we invite you to explore the transformative power of rest as a form of resistance against oppressive systems. Inspired by Tricia Hersey's text, Rest as Resistance: A Manifesto (2022), this session will engage participants in meaningful discussions about the intersections of rest, self-care, and social justice, particularly for marginalized communities. Participants will connect personal experiences related to class and labor, develop personalized self-care plans for weekdays, weekends, and finals week, and practice virtual yoga with Black Yogi Nico, focusing on self-care and self-love. ❗As a special gift, the first five participants to arrive at the program will receive a yoga mat to take home! Other participants, please plan to bring your own mat and/or blankets for the yoga practice.❗As finals approach, it’s crucial to reclaim your time and energy, and together we’ll delve into understanding rest as a powerful act of defiance.
