Sacred Rest

You deserve time to rest - come and practice in community. 


Join us for online rest vespers this Sunday, February 23 from 4:00 to 4:45 p.m.


REGISTER ON REALM  


On fourth Sundays, the Central Illinois Religious Educators will facilitate a guided rest experience on Zoom for our four congregations in Bloomington-Normal, Champaign-Urbana, Peoria, and Springfield. 


During our gatherings, we’ll hear a reading from (ITALIC) Rest as Resistance by Tricia Hersey, rest together for short periods, reflect on rest as resistance in a capitalist society, and leave with a "practice to resist grind culture" from Tricia Hersey’s Rest Deck.


As you wish, you can create a comfortable nest with a blanket or pillow, water, and a journal.  


You can find links to Tricia Hersey's books and nap deck on bookshelf.org.
