This one-hour talk invites listeners to reimagine rest as an intentional, embodied wellness practice rather than a luxury or reward. Drawing from personal storytelling and lived experience, I unpack the different types of rest, the challenges we face in prioritizing it, and how rest connects to our mental and emotional well-being. Previously offered at wellness summits and social justice-centered organizations, this session resonates deeply with those navigating burnout or seeking more grounded self-care. Participants leave with tools and inspiration to build meaningful rest practices into their daily lives.

This interactive one-hour workshop offers an accessible introduction to mindfulness, grounded in both practice and real-life application. Participants will explore what mindfulness is (and isn’t), why it matters, and how to overcome common challenges to building a practice. The session includes a guided mindfulness exercise, practical tools for integrating mindfulness into daily life, and a variety of techniques and resources to support continued growth. Previously offered to nonprofit organizations and both high school and college students, this workshop is ideal for those seeking greater presence, emotional balance, and self-awareness in their everyday lives.
