Part I & II: Reclaiming Radical Rest for Racial and Social Justice Workplaces 

A new study from 2025 found that burnout is at an all time high at 66%.  This is two-part workshop series that reframes rest as a collective political strategy rather than individual self-care. Participants learn to identify how systems compound workplace burnout, assess their proximity to burnout using practical tools, and implement immediate micro-rest techniques. The series moves from systemic analysis to actionable intervention—helping advocates and workers understand why rest feels impossible under current conditions, then equipping them to explore organizational policies, challenge martyrdom ideology, and build mutual aid infrastructure that sustains movement work long-term. Rooted in evidence-based practices and movement practices from Black and Indigenous resistance movements, these workshops offer both individual reset strategies and collective care frameworks that honor advocates as whole humans beyond their productivity.
