Join Tricia Hersey, artist and founder of The Nap Ministry, as she guides us into the portal of rest via spoken poetry and a soundtrack of Black healing music.

The Collective Rest Experience is the heart of the work of The Nap Ministry. Tricia Hersey began to connect rest as a form of justice by facilitating her first community rest experience with borrowed yoga mats and pillows in 2017. When we gather to rest in community we create sacred spaces that disrupt the lies of capitalism. Tricia, a.k.a. The Nap Bishop has facilitated hundreds of rest experiences in person and virtually all over the globe. Thousands of people have collectively and intentionally paused to reclaim their bodies from grind culture. Following The Nap Bishop’s poetry will be a short nap talk on the theories of Rest Is Resistance.
