This opportunity is open to the general public as part of our Lifelong Learning initiative.

About the Workshop

Join the Rev. Tricia Hersey, founder of the Nap Ministry, and author of the book "REST IS RESISTANCE: A MANIFESTO", for a Nap Installation on the campus of Louisville Seminary. A Nap Installation creates sacred spaces for the community to nap together. Tricia Hersey curates the experience with yoga mats, blankets, pillows, curated soundtrack, rest altar, poetic meditations, and a post-nap talk.

Before facilitating the nap installation, our community will gather with Rev. Hersey for a celebratory "lunch & learn" with reflections around themes of rest. If you are able to join us in the Winn Center from 12:30-1:30 PM, please indicate so during the registration process. The lunch is sponsored by the Office of Black Church Studies, in collaboration with Lifelong Learning.

Please note: Registration is non-refundable and non-transferable. Yoga mat provided.

All portions of the workshop will take place IN-PERSON only.

About the Instructor

Tricia Hersey has over 25 years of experience as a multidisciplinary artist, writer, theologian and community organizer. Tricia is the founder of The Nap Ministry, the originator of the ‘rest as resistance’ and ‘rest as reparations’ frameworks, and creates sacred spaces where the liberatory power of rest can take hold in collaboration with communities all over the world. Trica’s work is seeded within the soils of Black radical thought, somatics, womanism, and liberation theology, and is a guide for how to collectively unravel ourselves from the wreckage of capitalism and white supremacy.

She holds a Bachelor of Science in Public Health from Eastern Illinois University and a Master of Divinity from the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. She is the author of the New York Times bestselling book Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto, The Nap Ministry’s Rest Deck: 50 Practices to Resist Grind Culture, and We Will Rest!: The Art of Escape.
