About this Event

We Rest as Reparations: Chapter Three · My Soft Is Holy

Saturday, December 19, 2026 · 1:00 to 4:00 PM

A private home in the Houston area. The address is sent to ticket holders 7 days before.

You’ve been the strong one long enough. Come lay it down.

Chapter Three is an afternoon of rest for Black women who are tired of earning their breath. We drink tea slowly, stretch, listen, nap, and journal in a room full of women who will not ask you to perform. Your rest, your soft, is holy.

What guests said after Chapter Two

“Actually napping in a room filled with people; it was like a slip back into childhood. Very cool! Also, the stretching was much needed.”

“The things I need to rest from weren’t the typical things I’d expect, it was more about the expectations I put on myself and the fears I have.”
