Join our Community
When you’ve been conditioned to live outside yourself, stay in survival mode, be in a perpetual state of reactivity or resistance, it’s nearly impossible to rest.
This may be because you have no models around you, or what surrounds you keeps you producing. Your surroundings can deny you from knowing that you’re allowed to just be. This is why when you start to rest, it can feel isolating, uncomfortable, and hard. It can feel like you're faltering and flailing.
Here’s the thing. You’re stepping into a new direction, and that direction calls for support and community.
The Rest of Us is not just a podcast but also a growing community, where opportunities are being cultivated for you and others to journey towards liberating rest together.
"You were imagined with such detail that you were created. So, if you only lived in your details, that is all the world is asking for."
- Dana Tenille Weekes

The Rest of Us Podcast Club
Want to talk about an episode of The Rest of Us in community? Host your own Podcast Club with friends, family members, neighbors, or even colleagues.
It’s simple! Choose a time. Invite people to gather (in person or virtually). Listen to an episode of The Rest of Us ahead of time. Then, have a good conversation about rest as a form of self-liberation. You can download free podcast club guides for select episodes to help facilitate your own conversations.

Speaking & Live Podcasts
Are you a company, firm, or non-profit organization interested in having Dana come and speak about rest?
Dana collaborates with organizations to cultivate conversations on rest through fireside chats, keynotes, and other speaking opportunities.
She also hosts live podcast events, where audience members can join the conversation or engage in a facilitated conversation.
Rest Workshops
Are you a company, firm, or non-profit organization interested in having Dana facilitate a rest workshop?
Dana works closely with various entities to curate workshops and facilitate discussions around embracing rest differently. Our workshops can be incorporated into staff retreats, professional development sessions, employee resource group programming, and other initiatives that invest further in the well-being of work communities.
Community Circles & Events
Are you looking to build community with others who are embracing rest as liberation? Settle in with us!
We host Community Circles, small cohorts of 12 to 15 people reclaiming their right to rest. This three-session program, offered either virtually or in person, deeply explores rest as a mindset and a cultivated space. Grounded in vulnerability and liberating self-acceptance, this is a space to build trust, journey with joy, and unlearn for yourself and with others.
Don’t worry! If you cannot participate in one of our three-session programs, Dana hosts events throughout the year for The Rest of Us community, rooted in creative expression and conversation.
