Black Women Rest is a grassroots wellness nonprofit curating intentional, restorative spaces centering collective rest for our community. Through community-centered gatherings, holistic wellness practices, and shared learning experiences, we support our community in resting deeply, reconnecting to their bodies, and caring for themselves in sustainable ways.

Our work integrates education, reflection, and embodied practices rooted in cultural affirmation and collective care. We create spaces where our community can learn together, unlearn harmful narratives around productivity and strength, and build practical tools for rest and well-being.

We exist in response to the chronic stress, burnout, and health inequities our community disproportionately faces. At Black Women Rest, we believe rest is not something you earn, but a life-sustaining practice and a pathway to wellness, sustainability, and liberation for ourselves and future generations.

While our work intentionally centers Black women, we welcome and hold space for people of all backgrounds and identities. Our offerings are rooted in the experiences of Black women, and we believe the practices of rest, care, and collective healing can support the well-being of our entire community.

Join us in making rest accessible.
