In this session we will explore, with Rabbi Elliot Kukla, rest as a liberatory spiritual practice that can help us heal as individuals, strengthen loving relationships, and create a more sustainable future. We will begin by discussing the racist and exploitative origins of the stigma surrounding the term “lazy.” Next we will explore sources on rest from Disability Justice activists, ancient Jewish folk wisdom on the sabbath, as well as contemporary rest activists like the Nap Bishop. Finally, we will begin to uncover how to integrate rest into our own lives and spiritual practices.
