    • Nap Ministry presents Napping as Resistance: Rest as a Tool for Collective Liberation

    In-Person
    Metropolitan AME Church 1518 M St NW, Washington, DC, United States

    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. Brilliant sound artist and singer Arin Maya will be joining Tricia to add a live soundtrack to the Collective Rest Moment. You don’t want to miss this special collaboration.

    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.

    Before the session, FlowWell Yoga will lead a gentle Chair Yoga demonstration—an embodied invitation to release and center.
