“Protecting and practicing fallow time is an act of resistance; it can make us feel out of step with what the prevailing culture tells us.” https://t.co/B745BHbVZL
One example is the excellent THE RESTLESS COMPENDIUM, edited with Kimberley Staines and James Wilkes, which brings together 22 essays and interventions on rest and restlessness, silence and noise, relaxation and work (and it's open access!). Find it here: https://t.co/QO0Fm2xWdx
🚨 Second keynote announcement 🚨
We're *very* excited to announce that our second keynote speaker is the incredible Prof Felicity Callard (@felicitycallard)!!
Felicity has published widely on rest, reverie, fantasy, and daydreaming 🙌
These are just a few of the topics and themes you could propose a paper/workshop/installation on for the Art of Not Doing Conference! See the full CFP on the website: https://t.co/R4O395BDD6

'Rest, instead of being something passive, is actually an act of resistance. We live in The City That Never Sleeps — so resting may be the most countercultural and spiritual thing we do with our lives.'
Spirituality is found in rest. Demand a #4DayWeek.
