What if the key to our liberation, justice and community thriving isn’t more effort—but more rest? In this transformative interactive session, Tricia Hersey, founder of The Nap Ministry, challenges everything we’ve been taught about productivity, showing how intentional rest is not just a luxury, but a necessity for personal and collective liberation.

Tricia is the acclaimed author of two groundbreaking books Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto and We Will Rest!, both of which explore rest, healing, and liberation as radical tools for reclaiming our humanity.
