Episode notes

I believe when we rest, we bend time. We allow for a new way to be made. I think about Harriet Tubman and her underground road and her prophecy of seeing my people are free. She was understanding that we're in tune with ourFreedom is waiting for us. Our body wants to be healthy, that our wellness is our way of life. To begin to reimagine and bring new language into the world will benefit your divine body. That's wellness. And you create a new world backwards too,. because when you talk about downloading the gifts from your ancestors, it's also so important to your work that you give to them.

1. The Nap Ministry’s Nap Bishop shares small, concrete ways to bring rest into our own lives – especially when rest seems impossible.

2. Why so many of us feel like machines instead of humans – and the power of imagination as a spiritual practice to reconnect with our humanity and divinity.

3. Why grind culture – a collaboration of capitalism and white supremacy – wants to keep us exhausted, and how we can resist a culture of overwhelming busy-ness.

4. Why everything changes when we embrace ease as our birthright.

5. Creative ways to reimagine rest within our hectic daily lives.
