Helping you rest, feel calm and make positive changes

Online Rest Cafe

Next Rest Cafe:

Tues 13th Jan '26, 3-4.15pm

The theme is Cultivating Hope

This Cafe is in collaboration with the Covid Support Community: https://community.covidaidcharity.org/

If you are not part of that community and would like to come to the Cafe please email me: alys@alysjenkins.co.uk or contact me

I run the free Rest Cafe on an ad hoc basis.

The Cafe is usually 1 hour 15 mins or 1 hour 30 mins.

There are 2 opportunities to join breakout rooms - both for around 10-15 minutes - with around 3 people per room.

Either side of the break out rooms I guide rest practices in the main zoom room.

Each Rest Cafe has a theme, which can be explored whilst chatting in the breakout rooms, and in the embodied guided rest practices.

If you don't have the energy to join the breakout rooms you are welcome to stay resting quietly in the main zoom room. If you do join the breakout rooms please have your camera on.

As with all my sessions, you are very welcome to join from your bed.

What to expect:

The idea for the Rest Cafe came from my own experiences of deep fatigue. During the years I was most affected by CFS/ME I craved something like this - small bits of social contact with people who understood my situation, interspersed with regular pauses to rest alongside others.
