Welcome to the 6th?‘R’ Postcard.?
R for ‘Rest’.
Postcard for summer unplug.
While the rest of the year, the?‘R’ Letter?sheds light on a professional and their relationship to Rest, a primary need we all have, over the course of 6 weeks, the 'R' Postcards will bring you cultural snippets of Rest.
You can use these in multiple ways: enrich your knowledge and perception of what Rest is, discover new Rest outlets and practices, but most of all, take a break (in your break, or at work) and daydream along with someone else's dream.
Sixth Postcard ~~~~ Music
leave the room and face the waves
and try to find my way by dancing
through the snow i'll try
and face the waves again

The?‘R’ Letter?is curated by?Bérénice K. Schramm?as an applied research project based on?Tricia Hersey’s?trailblazing book?Rest is Resistance?(2022) and decade-long work?at?The Nap Ministry?(including on?IG).?
