11-Week Course Description: 
This immersive program combines a guided online course with a reflective book club based on We Will Rest. Designed to help participants reclaim rest as a revolutionary act, this program explores rest as a pathway to healing, liberation, and resistance against burnout culture.
 
In a society that equates productivity with worth, rest is often undervalued and guilt-ridden. This course and book club invite participants to slow down, honor their bodies, and redefine success on their own terms. Through guided lessons, discussion, and practical exercises, learners will explore how intentional rest can restore energy, cultivate creativity, and nurture mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
The combination of course content and book club reflection allows participants to both learn and embody the principles of rest while sharing insights and support within a community of like-minded individuals.
