Tomorrow is the anniversary of the first TAnntra Talk! The occasion falls during a time of gratitude and preparation for hibernation. As we observe other living beings tunneling into Earth to forage and shelter, consider how digging in may be supportive of your rest: Back by popular demand! During the holidays most of us experience an increase in how much or the expectation that we open our Selves to social settings. Healthy boundaries align decision-making related to our interactions with our authentic Selves.   Making Boundaries Brighter is a space within the TAnntra Talks series held for one hour via Zoom. We will begin with the building blocks of boundaries and assemble a blueprint for upholding these protective commitments. This virtual gathering is free and open to everyone in community. Anyone interested in participating or witnessing can share their e-mail at tinyurl.com/TAnntra-Mailing-List to receive the Zoom login information (and they will receive future e-mails like this).   The Zoom link and passcode will be e-mailed an hour prior to the event and is available upon request. Altar Call Opening the floor for questions was likened to a practice of summoning worshippers forward for spiritual commitment at a book tour stop for We Will Rest!: The Art of Escape by Tricia Hersey. The photo below shows the setting had a lot to do with the association, and Hersey is known as the Nap Bishop. However, such a radical departure from societal expectations about productivity and consumption requires frequent recommitment, and often it takes someone else stopping us and inviting us back in to what Hersey aptly named "the deprogramming process." I am bringing the altar call to you. You are invited to rest. Sleep. Daydream. Stay still. Imagine. Deepen your breaths. Meditate. Luxuriate in a bath. Lie down. Close your eyes. For as long as you can.   "Rest is a form of resistance because it disrupts and pushes back against capitalism and white supremacy." This is the main tenet of the Nap Ministry. For many, the need for accessible tools with which we can fortify our Selves and defy oppression and fascism is heightened.   So, how will you rest? What preparation is needed? When will it happen? It is a Fall Friday, but not one for Kama Sutra Stretching!   Next week use the IG link below to join TAnntra's Live. www.TAnntra.com Unsubscribe
