Rest & Renewal: An Invitation to Reset and Reconnect

Rest & Renewal: An Invitation to Reset and Reconnect

Wed., Mar. 25 | 7:00–8:00 p.m. ET

The work you do to create a more equitable and just health system can take a toll. That’s why The Intersection offers Rest & Renewal, an intentional opportunity for people advancing anti-racist practices to stop, step away, pause, and recharge.

Rest & Renewal will honor the ancestral memory, wisdom and intuition rooted in Black midwifery traditions by offering space to unwind and an opportunity to exhale.

The session will remind participants that strategies once required for survival can now serve as a blueprint for imagining new systems to sustain life, while cultivating a supportive community for birthing people and their families.

Join their facilitators—Carmen D. Harris from REACH Beyond Solutions, Imani Joy Samuels, Founder of Huru, and Esther Boykin, Founder of Esther B. Consulting—as they…

• Cultivate compassionate awareness of current emotional and somatic states.

• Pause to recognize your labor, leadership, and the daily contributions you make to the health and well-being of families and communities.

• Acknowledge and honor the vital role you play in sustaining families, communities, and future generations.

• Reclaim a sense of personal rhythm and boundaries needed to do this work.

• Space to sit with your emotions in a supportive way.
