Rest as medicine

“Rest is a radical and restorative practice essential for personal and collective well-being. Rest is not merely a pause from work but an active form of resistance against systems of exploitation and burnout.

It involves reclaiming time and space to nourish oneself, honor one's needs, and restore balance. Rest is a fundamental human right and a powerful tool for resisting the demands of a relentless work culture. By embracing rest as a form of self-care and resistance, we reclaim our humanity and create space for healing, creativity, and resilience.”
