🌿 Sesiwn GORFFWYS dydd Sul misol – 3-5pm Mai 5ed 🌿
Canolfan Llwynihirion Brynberian
Agored i bawb
My vision is to have a short circle introductions, 1 complete hour of REST time- with beautiful music, singing bowls, book readings, verses and poetry, perhaps some led breath practices- but mostly REST!
Come and rest your weary body down
Any donations towards hall hire gratefully received
There will be space to explore our culture of over working, feeling guilty for resting and how we can vision and co-create a new way of BE- ing ❤️❤️❤️
Ewch i’ch gwelyau. Ewch i’ch soffas. Dewch o hyd i hamog. Ewch drwy borth y cwsg bach. Ewch yno yn aml. Does dim rhaid i chi aros am ganiatâd gan y diwylliant dominyddol. Mae eich corff yn ddwyfol ac yn sofran. Ewch i’ch mannau gorffwys, llawenydd, a rhyddid. Crëwch nhw yn eich dychymyg. Crëwch nhw yn eich cymunedau.
Dewch i orffwys eich corff blinedig.
Derbynnir yn ddiolchgar unrhyw roddion tuag at logi’r neuadd
Bydd lle i archwilio ein diwylliant o orweithio, teimlo’n euog am orffwys, a sut gallwn ni weld a chyd-greu ffordd newydd o fod.
Dewch â’ch sachau cysgu, blancedi, matiau ioga, gobenyddion … dewch â’ch corff blinedig i orwedd a theimlo sut brofiad yw gorffwys mewn rhyddid.
Watch my videos with readings from the book to understand why Rest is Important!
I think it’s important to hold a circle for some sharing and discussion after.
Bring your sleeping bags, blankets, yoga mats, pillows…bring your weary body to lay down and feel what’s it’s like to rest in freedom ❤️

- Capitalism wants my body to be a machine. I am not a machine.
- I am a magical and divine human being.
- I have the right to resist grind culture.
- I don’t have to earn rest.

- I Will Rest!o’r llyfr Rest is Resistance:
- Rwy’n haeddu gorffwys nawr.
- Rwy’n deilwng o orffwys.
- Dydw i ddim yn ddiog. Sut allwn i fod yn ddiog? Mae fy Nghyndadau yn rhy wych i hynny.
- Mae cyfalafiaeth eisiau i’m corff fod yn beiriant. Dydw i ddim yn beiriant.
- Rwy’n fod dynol hudol a dwyfol.
- Mae gen i’r hawl i wrthsefyll y diwylliant o weithio’n galed.
- Does dim rhaid i mi ennill gorffwys.
- Gwnewch lai, gwyliwch sut rydw i’n ffynnu.
- Rhwyddineb yw fy ngenedigaeth-fraint.

Go to your beds. Go to your couches. Find a hammock. Co into the portal of naps. Go there often. You don’t have to wait on permission from the dominant culture. Your body is divine and sovereign. Go to your spaces of rest, joy, and free-dom. Create them in your imagination. Create them in your communities. Create them in your homes. Create them in your workspaces. Create them in your heart. Daydream collectively. Do all these things with others. We will not heal alone. We will not thrive alone. Communal care is our saving grace and our communion. Community care will save us. It is already saving us. There will not be instant answers to our inquiries about rest as resistance.
The Sleeping Goddess of Malta also referred to as the Sleeping Lady, is a statuette created in the Neolithic period. This statuette is that of a woman in a natural side-sleeping position. She is positioned comfortably on her side on the couch.
The Sleeping Goddess of Malta statuette was unearthed from the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum in 1902.
One belief is that she represents the healing art of dream incubation because she looks relaxed and happy while sleeping/resting. It is suggested that she is receiving happy thoughts, inspiration and guidance from a divine force. ❤️
