SORRY – THE IONA SCHOOL HAS GONE INTO LIQUIDATION SO WE CAN’T USE THAT VENUE. WE HOPE TO RESCHEDULE THIS EVENT NEXT SUMMER AT ANOTHER OUTDOOR VENUE. WE WILL BE IN TOUCH WITH THOSE WHO BOOKED.

Exhausted; anxiety-ridden; over-worked and under-resourced?  Yet the ‘solution’ cannot possibly lie in self-care, yoga retreats or the odd massage when this bone-numbing fatigue is a symptom of a desperately unhealthy society.

We cannot simply ‘fix ourselves’ under a system that demands so much of us. We need a complete reimagining that puts a thriving life of abundance first and foremost. Through a Black Feminist, abolitionist and nature-allied lens, Evie Muir takes us on a journey of regeneration that reimagines what a world of true rest – radical rest – would look like and feel. Evie explores moving from rage, grief and anxiety to hope, joy and plenty that deep change can bring.

Along the way, Evie speaks with those who have been disproportionately impacted by, and working in resistance to, burnout  – Black, queer, disabled activists of colour. And what becomes clear is that a world of radical rest must exist in community – with one another, with our bodies, and with the natural world

This is an interactive community event as part of Evie Muir’s Radical Rest book launch tour. We start with a brief walk on the site whilst discussing what Radical Rest can mean. We will then take a seat at the idyllic outdoor amphitheatre where Eshe Kiama Zuri, who is interviewed in the book, will open up an ‘in conversation’ with both the audience and the author, Evie Muir. If you have an affinity to nature and radical self- and community-care, as well as learning from a Black feminist author from up North, then this is the event for you!

A Nottingham Nourishment Network CIC event in association with Five Leaves Bookshop and Iona School
