Rest without Regret
RESPITE is a little movement with a big goal: to end overwork and inspire life’s work (and that includes rest). Work and rest aren’t opposites, they’re two strings on the same bow. If you tug on one, it all unravels.
Founded by those who understand the need for rest intimately (from chronic illness & disability) - we believe rest is a right, as well as just common sense.
Join as we share the science, history, and art of the “welcome break” (however big or small). Revel in natural rhythms. Annihilate the ceaseless noise.
Creation is quiet - grow silently.
- Confucius, slightly abbrev.
Let us seek the respite where it is—in the very thick of battle. For in my opinion, and this is where I shall close, it is there.
Great ideas, it has been said, come into the world as gently as doves.
-Albert Camus

What if we stopped pretending that we can be ON all the time- that our incessant focus on busy-ness and immediacy doesn’t come without serious costs to our work, planet, and lives?
What if we honored natural rhythms and lived a life of intention, where schedules aren’t crammed, and regular rest is encouraged? Not out of laziness, but a refusal to be reckless...
a life of respite.
Let’s explore.
