EPIPHANY RESOURCES
Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto by Tricia Hersey
Founder of The Nap Ministry
In our modern capitalist world that prioritizes productivity and growth over all else, Tricia Hersey’s Rest Is Resistance “encourages us to connect to the liberating power of rest, daydreaming, and naps as a foundation for healing and justice.” Rooted in racial justice and liberation, this resource from the “Nap Bishop” could be a wonderful choice for engaging in discussions about rest as a spiritual practice.

The Book of Awakening by Mark Nepo
This daily devotional book is packed with simple yet profound wisdom. It would be so perfect for an individual practice, and you could certainly use it in a small group setting as well. Mark Nepo is a poet who survived cancer and was inspired to write this beautiful work to share the wisdom of a life steered by mindfulness, authenticity, and gratitude. More info here.
10% Happier by Dan Harris
Dan Harris famously experienced a panic attack on live TV in 2004 and went on to completely transform his mental wellbeing and life through a practice of meditation. His first book, 10% Happier, garnered national acclaim as an accessible and humanizing guide to meditation. There’s a 10% Happier podcast series and app with guided meditations, recorded talks, and other tools for cultivating mindfulness.
