The very act of taking rest is a revolutionary act. Queer Black Poet Audre Lorde states, “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” There is great risk in not taking necessary rest. Chronic stress can spike cortisol levels and put us at risk of anxiety, depression, a lowered immune system, cognitive issues, heart problems, and gut issues (National Institute of Mental Health). Rest and connection regulate cortisol levels and reduce anxiety. Rather than being self-indulgent, rest and connection serve to heal the body by regulating cortisol levels and reducing anxiety. Come join us in J.O.Y. for the body and spirit!

The ebb and flow may slow us down. It may cause us to regroup. But it doesn’t stop our march onward. #Philanthropy #CommunityInvestment #Community #RestorativeJustice #TransformativeJustice

It's official! The Trust for Civic Life has launched! An exciting day for folks building civic infrastructure, particularly in rural communities. From Hollie Russon Gilman, Ph.D.: The Trust is a new philanthropic collaborative and learning network with a simple mission: support local efforts that bring residents together to solve challenges they decide are most critical for their community to thrive. In times of polarization, we believe this is one critical step in the process of rebuilding trust in each other and forging a deeper democracy. https://lnkd.in/gQwUbPPH #democracy
