As we gear up for our Heal the Healers Convening, ROOT Co-director Rosalva Mujwid Hernandez and Cyrus Hernandez explore what it means to rest. Reclaiming Our Own Time is finding rest practices in our day-to-day lives, from cooking to spending time outdoors.
Rest creates space for contemplation, renewal, and a deeper understanding of one’s purpose and values. It is not for the privileged few. It does not have to be earned. Rest is a birthright for all.
Rosalva reflects, “Our healers often are not lifted up as being someone who needs care and someone who we need to tend to and create space for. That’s one of the hopes we have for our Heal the Healers Conference—there are so many ways we can find rest. The hope of Heal the Healers is to really create that intentional space.”
Our three-day Heal the Healers Convening, Feb. 27-March 1, will be a transformative sanctuary of rest, reflection, and rejuvenation amidst workshops on holistic care and professional growth. Experts will share insights on how creating portals of rest and nourishing rest practices prevents burnout, fosters resilience, and nurtures mental health. If you tend to others in your circles, you are a healer, and this space is for YOU. Register by Feb. 10!
