Women's Wednesdays: Prioritizing Rest with Margot Bethel

Rest is a crucial component of our physical and mental health. Unfortunately, many of us struggle to find ways to prioritize it while juggling many other commitments. As summer comes to an end, let's talk about making rest a priority. Our team is ready to share our practices and experiences, and we're interesting in hearing about yours. Following the discussion, Margot Bethel will guide us in meditation. This session originally took place on September 4, 2024. What does rest look like for you? How do you carve out moments of rest for yourself every week? Every day? Why is rest important? How can our relationships support us as we seek more rest? ----- Margot is an artist, a seeker, and a mindfulness meditation practitioner enrolled in a teachers’ training program with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach of Spirit Rock Insight Meditation Centre in California. “I have been a regular practitioner of insight meditation for nine years. Over this time period, facing health challenges, as well as loss and grief, my experience with meditation has helped me to heal deeply, and continues to have a significant positive impact on my overall health and happiness. These are the key reasons I want to share with others who may be curious, interested or otherwise drawn to these practices.” ___________________________________ Women's Wednesdays was designed by Equality Bahamas as a response to community members' requests for a space to access resources, experts, and practitioners, share knowledge, and engage in conversation with one another. Officially started in May 2017, Women's Wednesdays highlights Bahamian women and our experiences in The Bahamas, specific to our identities including gender, race, sexuality, age, and ability. Held once per month at minimum, the events draw women together to have conversations that bring our individual lives into focus while connecting to family, community, and national narratives. #WW242 intentionally centers and prioritizes women and girls, and is open to the public through in-person events, livestreams, and social media activity. With the support of the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas, we create a safe space for knowledge-building, idea-sharing, critical dialogue, and movement-building.
