Key Focus Areas

  1. Reclaiming Rest as Resistance

    • Explore how hectic schedules, productivity pressures, and self-sacrifice can undermine teaching efficacy and overall mental health—especially in under-resourced or high-stress schools.

  2. Designing Customized Rituals

    • Learn how to craft brief, consistent, and enjoyable rest moments that align with personal constraints, cultural practices, and self-discovery.

  3. Sustaining Joy & Energy

    • Develop strategies to protect rest time from guilt or intrusion, ensuring that daily micro-practices become anchors of resilience rather than wishful thinking.

Who Should Attend?

  • K–12 & Higher Ed Teachers
    Struggling with burnout, exhaustion, or the endless “hustle” culture of education, looking to affirm rest as an integral daily habit.

  • School Counselors & Support Staff
    Aiming to implement restorative breaks and self-care strategies without undermining professional obligations.

  • Instructional Coaches & Wellness Coordinators
    Committed to promoting teacher well-being through feasible daily rituals that encourage collective healing and prevent burnout.

  • Educational Leaders & Community Organizers
    Eager to infuse a culture of rest and rejuvenation into organizational policies, staff routines, or local advocacy efforts.

Learning Objectives

  1. Shift Mindsets Around Rest

    • Recognize rest not as a luxury or occasional indulgence, but as an essential, justice-oriented practice that sustains personal wholeness.

  2. Build a Joy-Based Daily Routine

    • Acquire practical, culturally relevant activities—like breathwork, mini-rituals, mindful moments, or playful exercises—that seamlessly fit into a teacher’s busy schedule.

  3. Empower Collective Well-Being

    • Explore how to share these rest practices with students or colleagues, establishing a supportive environment where rest is valued, protected, and integrated into group life.

Why It Matters

Educational spaces often celebrate relentless dedication and compliance with overwork—fueling teacher turnover and chronic stress. By reclaiming daily rest rituals, educators challenge toxic productivity norms and demonstrate holistic care for themselves and others. These micro-moments of joy aren’t self-indulgent—they are necessary nourishment for creativity, compassion, and presence in the classroom. When teachers embody rest, they provide powerful, empowering examples for students who, too, deserve to learn ways to honor their bodies, minds, and spirits.
