REST & RELEASE

A Weekly Gathering to Slow Down and Exhale Together

Every Monday
Time: 6:30 – 7:30 PM PST
Location: Online (Zoom)
FREE:Rest & Release is offered as a free community gathering. If this space nourishes you and you're able to give, donations help sustain our services and keep healing work accessible to all.

A Space for You

Join us in creating space for restorative practices, gentle movement, breath, and rest honoring what our bodies are asking for. Through somatic awareness, breathwork, and community presence, we hold space for nervous system regulation and collective healing.

.

What Rest & Release Offers:

Restorative Practices
Gentle, body-led movement and stillness that support your nervous system in downshifting from the constant demands of daily life.

Breathwork & Somatic Awareness
Guided practices to help you reconnect with your body's wisdom, release what you're holding, and create space for ease.

Community Presence
A judgment-free space where you can show up exactly as you are whether you need to move, rest, cry, or simply exist alongside others who understand.

Honoring What Your Body Asks For
Some weeks you might need gentle stretching. Other weeks, you might need to lie still. We follow what feels true, not what we "should" do.

Why This Matters for Your Health

DID YOU KNOW? Chronic stress keeps your body in "fight or flight" mode, which raises blood pressure over time by releasing stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. Even 10-15 minutes of intentional rest and breathwork can help lower these hormones and support cardiovascular health.

For Black and Brown women especially, the accumulated weight of navigating systemic stress, caregiving, and daily survival takes a toll on our bodies. Rest isn't a luxury it's a necessity. And doing it together reminds us we're not alone.

What to Expect:

A welcoming, low-pressure environment where you can participate fully or simply rest in community
Guided breathwork and gentle movement (all levels welcome, modifications offered)
Space for release—emotional, physical, or energetic
Community-centered presence (camera on or off—your choice)
Permission to honor your needs without explanation or apology
