A series of listening sessions and collective moments of rest. The guided sessions of storytelling, collective daydreaming, deep listening, and napping ask the question: How can we collectively reclaim space to slow down and imagine new just worlds together?

Our culture requires that people of colour present themselves as extraordinary performers, athletes, or entertainers to exist in the public realm. This culture of constant productivity robs us of our right to rest. This session is a refusal. We gather to reclaim rest as a right, idleness as power, and dreaming as liberation. Rest is not incidental—it is political. Its deprivation is not random—it is systemic.

Inspired by Audre Lorde’s declaration that self-care is an act of “political warfare,” and Tricia Hersey’s Rest is Resistance, we hold space for stillness. In stillness, we heal, rebuild, and dream. Together, we take a collective pause, nurturing both our individual and collective imaginations to resist the forces that deplete us.

Come lie down. Drift away. Let your dreams breathe life into infinite futures.
