    SUMMER SPECIAL: Collective Rest as a Liberatory Practice. Mike and Elisabeth chat rest.

    In the midst of back-to-school season, we want to lovingly nudge our listeners towards pockets of rest. We know this looks different for everyone, but we believe it's a practice that's integral to liberatory work. Last year, the Reinvention Lab tested a two-week period of collective rest. In this episode, you'll hear Elisabeth and Mike reflect on that period of rest, and then Elisabeth will read you "Rest as a Liberatory Practice," the article the Lab wrote after our period of rest to capture some of the things we were starting to learn.
