This year, we’ve been gathering online and in person to celebrate our 20th anniversary, highlighting the people and programs that make Nexus’ work possible. Our celebration continues with our newest program: ROOT (Reclaiming Our Own Time)! Mark your calendar for Deep Rest for Resistance on Thursday, Oct. 9, 10 am – 12 pm CT on Zoom.
As we live in times of extremism, fear and despair, carving out thoughtful, recurring space to refill our cups, protect our peace, and build communal care together is essential to our future and our safety.
ROOT puts rest and restoration at the heart of movement building. With innovative sabbatical programs, our Reimagine Rest event series for community members, and our Heal the Healers series to fortify our own community healers, we are giving BIPOC leaders unique opportunities to center rest and reconnect with ancestral wisdom.
Join us to learn about our rest ecosystem work, get grounded with a meditation activity, and hear deep reflections on reclaiming our rest by our thought partners. Stay tuned for more details—registration opens on Sept. 9!
