About

We’re sick, tired, and slow. We move under crip time and reject notions that productivity defines our value. When we check our schedules, we do so knowing that “crip time bends the clock to meet disabled bodies and minds” (Kafer). That our lives are not linear and sit outside normativity, beyond neoliberal trappings of the 9 to 5 and focus on self-improvement.

So, how can we prioritise rest in a world that sees it as unproductive?

Join resting up collective for a 90-minute creative workshop that will offer practical tools to introduce resting through creative practice into every day while practising self- and collective care.

Through writing exercises, discussing readings and collective imagining, resting up collective will work with participants to start building a world where rest is more important than working.

Participants will be given Resting Toolkits, including online resources and writing exercises, to take away and use as the foundations of their ongoing practice of rest.

There is no preparation required for this workshop. We recommend bringing a pen and notebook, or any materials you use to write with.
