About this Event
Rest Camp Chicago: A One-Day Retreat for Tired Grown Ups 🌿
Spring is here—and with May being Mental Health Awareness Month, there’s no better time to prioritize rest.
Join mental health nonprofit Everyone’s Healing and Zen Yoga Garage for Rest Camp Chicago, a one-day retreat fundraiser designed for tired grown ups in need of pause, care, and community.
Together, we’ll move, connect, and most importantly—rest.
Your Rest Camp Counselors—certified yoga instructor Melissa Talleda, writer Brittany Julious, and certified mindfulness instructor and Licensed Professional Counselor Shanna Shrum—will gently guide you through a day of yoga, meditation, creativity, and intentional rest.
✨ Even better: Your ticket directly supports free and low-cost therapy for uninsured and underinsured individuals. In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, your rest helps expand access to care for those who need it most.
Rest Camp is committed to being an inclusive, LGBTQ+ affirming, anti-ableist, and anti-racist space.

âť“ FAQ
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothes you can move and rest in.
What should I bring?
A reusable water bottle, snacks, and we highly recommend BYOB (Bring Your Own Blanket)! There will be plenty of opportunities to stretch out and get cozy.
What if I don’t want to participate in everything?
That’s completely okay. Rest Camp is trauma-informed, which means you are encouraged to listen to your body and only engage in what feels safe and supportive for you.
đź’› Support Access to Care
If you have the means, consider sponsoring an Equity Ticket to help someone from a historically marginalized community attend for free.

Because who doesn’t love to rest, give, and get a deal?
Let this Mental Health Awareness Month be your invitation to slow down.
We can’t wait to rest with you.
