Roots of Resilience Discussion Series #1

Intentional Rest

Join Laura Evans and Sarah Baxter for our monthly (ish) Discussion Series! Based in the Meaning Making Project’s “Roots of Resilience” Theme Packets, this series of discussions will centre on a video reflection by a Canadian UU minister, followed by guided discussion on the topic.

This month: Intentional Rest. What does it look like to prioritize rest? by Rev. Karen Fraser Gitlitz

“In the midst of many demands and changes, what does it look like to prioritize rest? As a UU minister, I find fall to be the busiest time with congregational life at full speed, so at first I found it hard to imagine prioritizing rest at this time of year – surely that’s for June! And it’s those ind of unthinking assumptions (to time in the busy now, I will rest later) which we want to challenge this month – it’s a good and necessary thing to rest even in the midst of activity – to refresh and restore ourselves briefly and often.”

– Rev. Fiona Heath, from the October 2024 roots of resilience theme packet
