Dear community,
We have selected 10 participants for our inaugural 2024 ROOT Continuous Sabbatical Fellowship! Thank you to all 1,105 changemakers who shared your rest dreams and your commitment to the community with us. The ROOT team read every single story that came our way, inspired and moved by how many of you put your heart and being into shaping a brighter future for our communities of color. All applicants should have received, via email, the status of their application.
The Continuous Sabbatical Fellowship has only 10 spots, chosen through randomization of all eligible applicants. We know this can be hard, because it takes time and emotion to dream about opportunities like these. We hope that during the application process, the time you spent has given you space to reflect on how you might reclaim your rest.
To honor the stories shared with us, we are taking the next few months to compile insights we learned and intend to share them out with you all. You can expect to receive this in early 2025. We will continue to share rest-related resources with you through our Care Packages, future Reimagine Rest events, and more. We encourage you to sign up to our newsletter to stay informed.
Early 2025, we will announce our next sabbatical opportunity: the Rhythmic Sabbatical Fellowship. Keep an eye on our website, newsletter, and/or social media pages to stay informed of this next offering.
Continue reclaiming rest, and reclaiming time!
In gratitude,
ROOT (Reclaiming Our Own Time) Team
