About We Rest as Reparations – A Day of Rest + Journal Release with JC Jackson
For Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re honoring rest as a form of reparations for Black women.
In this intimate 2.5‑hour gathering at Jesse’s House, you’ll step out of urgency and into a soft space curated for stillness, naps, and gentle connection. JC Jackson will guide you through a grounding sound‑bowl meditation, perform her spoken word piece “We Rest as Reparations,” and introduce her new journal of the same name, created to help you carry this softness home.
What’s included:
• Cozy rest space at Jessie’s House (bring your favorite blanket if you’d like)
• Guided grounding + sound bowl meditation to help your body downshift
• Extended nap / solo rest time so you have time to truly fall asleep if you need to
• A warm cup of restorative herbal tea from the journal’s “resting tea” recipe
• Live spoken word performance of JC Jackson’s poem “We Rest as Reparations”
• Conversation about rest as resistance and mental health for Black women
• Time to begin writing in your journal, if you choose
