What do you actually need to be ready for CODE REST?
Just these 5 things.
A comfortable spot to rest in. Yes, your bed is great! So is your couch, a chair, your car, a hammock.
Ability to listen to a recording. Ear buds not required (unless you prefer them).
45 minutes dedicated to you (this includes set up, wrap up, journaling, the meditation and just some spacious time).
A devotion to showing up for 7 days.
Willingness to PLAY with rest
Seriously.
That's it.
Sure we can get into props, blankets, what ifs….its extra great if you can shut the door.
But you also don't need them if you don't have or want them.
We are getting into the easiest, quickest, nap you'll ever experience.
In a time when everything feels heavy and too much, Code Rest offers a gentle rebellion: choosing rest as an act of resistance.
Think of it as a soft rebellion. A creative reset. A sacred permission slip.

December 27 (10a CT Opening Rest Circle) + January 3 (10a CT Closing Rest Circle). Daily email with a link to a meditation, a rest practice suggestion and a journal prompt. Your rest your way with gentle suggestions.

Rest doesn't have to be solitary. These monthly circles create sacred space for women to practice rest together - through guided yoga nidra, gentle sharing, and the powerful medicine of collective slowing down. Each month explores a different theme (seasonal rest, boundary-setting, morning spaciousness) with practices you can carry into daily life.
