Rest Camp Chicago-A Day Retreat Fundraiser for Tired Grown Ups

Winter is coming! Which means its time to rest! Join mental health non-profit Everyone's Healing and Zen Yoga Garage for Rest Camp Chicago, a one day retreat fundraiser for tired grown ups.

Together we will move, connect, and rest. Your Rest Camp Counselors are certified yoga instructor Melissa Talleda, writer Brittany Julious, and certified mindfulness instructor and Licensed Professional Counselor, Shanna Shrum. Together they will gently lead you through sessions of yoga, meditation, creativity, and most important REST!

And the best part? Your ticket cost goes directly to providing free and low cost therapy services to those who are uninsured and underinsured. So while you're resting you're helping to provide free and low cost therapy to those who need it! We'd call that a good way to spend a Saturday!

Please note: Rest Camp strives to be an inclusive LGBTQ+ affirming, anti-ableist, and anti-racist space.

FAQ

What should I wear?

Comfortable clothes you can move and rest in.

What should I bring?

We recommend bringing a reusable water bottle. We also recommend you BYOB: Bring your own BLANKET! There will be lots of opportunities to lay down ;-)

What if I don't want to participate in one or more of the offerings?

That's totally fine! Rest Camp strives to be as trauma informed as possible and that means encouraging Campers to listen to themselves and only participate in what feels emotionally and physically safe to them.

If you have the means, we encourage you to consider sponsoring an Equity Ticket that allows those who are apart of historically marginalized communities to attend Rest Camp for free. Check out our Buy 1 General Admission Ticket and Sponsor 1 Equity Ticket bundle and save $20! Cause who doesn't love to rest, give, and get a deal?!
