Helping you rest, feel calm and make positive changes
Online Rest Cafe
The theme for April's Rest Cafe is acceptance. I will offer in questions for reflection and sharing around this theme, in the hope that conversation is not dominated by talking about symptoms (this can be draining for others), but rather focuses on sharing experiences around how to live better with the challenges of long term illness.
This is the 4th time of running the Rest Cafe, and together we are creating something very lovely! The Rest Cafe is aimed at people with fatigue, especially those with limited social energy, and offers a space for bite sized connection and conversation (in break out rooms), interspersed with regular guided rest and relaxation practices (in the main zoom room).
If you find that you don't have the energy to join the breakout rooms, then you are very welcome to stay resting quietly in the main zoom room.

The Online Rest Cafe is an experiment!
My intention is to offer a space in which people with fatigue - especially those with limited social energy - can meet others, but without leaving the session more exhausted than you arrived.
Bite sized opportunities for conversation and connection (in zoom break out rooms), will be interspersed with regular guided rest practices (for the whole group, in the main zoom room).
I will offer a theme for discussion within the break out rooms, which I hope will help the conversation be steered away from sharing symptoms and towards sharing ways of living better with long term health problems.
During the years I was most ill I craved something like this - small bits of social contact, along with regular pauses for rest with others.
If this appeals to you, you are welcome to join this experiment!
