Rest & Renew is an invitation to practice slowing down—a collective gathering where time stretches to make room for ease, daydreaming, rest, and care.

Guided by Jamila Kekulah, the evening begins with gentle movement to prepare the body for stillness and a restorative soundbath rooted in spirit, liberation, and informed by the work of Tricia Hersey and The Nap Ministry, who remind us to become escape artists from capitalism.

For this edition of Rest & Renew, we prepare for the deep waters of Cancer season and the summer solstice.

When we come together in one space, what kind of care-filled worlds can we dream into being?

Following the soundbath, Jamila will share Mainline (runtime: 5 min), a short film that received an honorable mention for first-time filmmaker at the Black Lives Rising Dance Film Festival.

Bring your journals, blankets, and stay awhile.
