  • The front cover of Tricia Hersey’s book “Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto”
    The legacy of brutality surrounding labor, sustenance, and survival for those enslaved on plantations and their descendants is striking…

  • A white woman with neck-length reddish brown hair, wearing brown glasses and a dark green top, holds her right hand to her heart while closing her eyes. She is standing and facing to our left. In the same room, behind her and out of focus, are other people also standing in prayerful postures.
    We come together in this quiet moment to unify our hearts again towards the clarion call of our time: May justice and equity guide us to great connection, a greater truth.

  • The front cover of Tricia Hersey’s book “Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto”
    When I think about the history of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, chattel slavery, and plantation labor, I am stunned by how much we have chosen to forget that capitalism was built from these systems.

  • A black-and-white photo of the full moon, close to the horizon and behind a tiny wisp of clouds, over the calm but not glassy surface of the Pacific ocean. The water reflects the moon’s light, forming a bright streak between the viewer and the moon.
    Here in the quiet, may we lift up our hearts in gratitude for the gifts of our lives, pausing in thanksgiving.

    Rest is resistance because it is a counternarrative to the script of capitalism and white supremacy for all people.

  • A brown-skinned person wearing a puffy jacket has their back to the camera, viewing lush mountains covered in coniferous trees in Dharamshala, India.

  • A small box made out of wooden slats sits on a grassy lawn, with a light brown teddy bear beside it. The box has a black stenciled sign on it labeled “TOOLS,” and various tools — a hammer, pliers, snippers, a jar of nails, and others — are visible between the slats and over the edge of the box.
    An activity to help congregants of all ages remember the tools available to help get through difficult times.

  • At night, from the vantage point of a dark stretch of beach, there are three light sources visible: On the left there is a lighthouse, shining bright streams of light in several directions; on the right, the moon glows behind a light cloud cover; and in the middle, we see fainter light from several houses farther down the coast. The foam from the sea is also visible, and shows the shoreline stretching in a straight line from the lower right of the photo to the houses in the middle of the photo.
    We cannot know what all the year may bring, and would we heed the prophecy if we could?

    Our liberation is deeply connected to the portal of healing we can tap into when we rest. Wherever our bodies are, we can find rest, ease, and liberation.

  • A greyscale image of the tiny feet of a baby held in a pair of adult hands, with larger adult hands cradling both. The symmetrical arrangement of hands and feet somewhat resembles a heart. Behind the hands and feet, we can see a little of the clothes covering the baby’s belly.
    Later, poets would tell of stars, shepherds, and seers, songs of angels…

  • In the foreground, the edge of a Christmas tree decorated with baubles and a blurred string of white lights. In the background, a blurred grouping of people indoors, as if at a restaurant or party.
    The winter holidays are beautiful and celebratory; they’re also hard and complicated.

    Embrace knowing that you have been manipulated and scammed by a violent system as powerful evidence. Now with this knowledge you can grieve, repair, rest, and heal.

  • In a darkened room, a chalice glows on a desk, with six crayons arranged around it like the rays of the sun. The light from the chalice illuminates several objects on the desk, including a small framed “children’s version” of the seven principles, a polished spherical crystal, a LEGO figurine of a person in a jumpsuit, a flat white-and-silver dove ornament, several books, and a jar with stalks of dried lavender.
    Meet me in the heartbeat between what has been and what will be; meet me in the flicker of our eternal flame. We need not face this moment alone.

    The results of the November 2024 election have shown that many of our neighbors don't share the same vision of what kind of world we want to live in. In this service, we explore how the recently adopted UU Shared Values can help us model a compelling alternative.

    Resting as a form of resistance will be part of a lifelong unraveling. A mind shift, a slow and consistent practice filled with grace. We must imagine a new way, and rest is the foundation for this invention.

    Rest is a healing portal to our deepest selves. Rest is care. Rest is radical.… Rest is a form of resistance because it disrupts and pushes back against capitalism and white supremacy.

  • Outdoors in a field, a person crouches near the ground. In their hand is a clump of soil, which they're displaying to the camera.
    May we recognize that our gardens and our lives can grow abundantly, even when we don’t understand how.
