Academics, authors and activists are tired. In an era marked by the fast pace of change, keeping up with our work can feel challenging.

 

Doing equitable work in the world within systems that are not meant to sustain care and rest can often leave us experiencing burnout and exhaustion. Our capitalistic society rewards the hustler, but we want to fight for rest, because it is our birthright as humans. The Aki Institute is committed to making space for rest through organizing retreats, providing resources about rest, and facilitating conversations about care.
