Rest Is Resistance: All Souls Spring Women’s Retreat

The theme of this year’s women’s retreat on Saturday, March 8, is Rest is Resistance, and is based on the book by Tricia Hersey, aka the Nap Bishop and founder of the Nap Ministry. It’s a manifesto rooted in the spiritual energy of Black liberation, womanism, somatics and Afrofuturism.

Our Keynote Speaker on the topic, Dene Roseburr-Olotu, she/her, is an ordained missionary whose ministry focuses on uplifting women through self-care, health awareness and mindfulness combined with spiritual traditionalism. (Dene is also a DEI professional).

Everyone who identifies as a woman is cordially invited to take a break from all the chaos to join Dene and some of your other favorite Practitioners of Inner Peace for a day of intentional restoration, reflection and renewal.

Women of All Souls resting in Emerson Hall as a group.
