Rest and Liberation

The front cover of Tricia Hersey’s book “Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto”

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. Part of our decolonizing resides in deprogramming from our brainwashing about rest as our divine right. We are divine. Our bodies are divine and a site of liberation. Wherever our bodies are, we can find, snatch, and center rest.
