Reimagine Rest
At Nexus, we believe all people deserve joyful and abundant lives filled with the rest that our bodies, minds, and spirits need. Rest is not for the privileged few—it is a birthright for us all.
The ROOT ecosystem is for BIPOC people to embrace rest and restoration as fundamental pieces of all work toward justice. Join us on this journey through our Reimagine Rest event series and our email Care Packages.
What is Reimagine Rest?
The Reimagine Rest Series (RRS) is for people to come together in reflection to learn about and try different rest practices. It’s an opportunity to consider rest in new ways through community gatherings, convenings, and pop-up events.
Using nature as our teacher, we organize activities based on what the four seasons are telling us. Our events are free and open to all while centering BIPOC experiences.
Past events include:
- March & April 2025 – Sacred Rhythms: The Connection Between Menstrual Cycles, Overall Health & Spiritual Well-being
- December 2024 – Rest Writing Workshop
- October 2024 – Nature Walk
- July 2024 – Paleta Pop-up
- May 2024 – Rest through Zines and Collaging. Check out this amazing zine created by Baki Baki Baki Porter!
Care Packages
Previously, we shared quarterly Care Package emails centered around different rest topics. These newsletters included a curated list of resources, reflection questions, stories, and encouragement to deepen your rest practice.
