You are invited join us in our Deep Rest Sanctuary for Women who need quiet, peace, and space to become a Rested Woman.
Live monthly yoga nidra, silent meditation, rest sisterhood, and writing for personal & planetary healing with Karen Brody, author of Daring to Rest: Reclaim Your Power with Yoga Nidra Rest Meditation
Join Karen each month to rest deeply, discover the power of refuge with other women on a rested path, and find an inner calm - your rest GPS - in the midst of uncertainty.
Dear Rest Friend,
I’ve always envisioned a community for women to come together to feel rested and nourished. Six years ago, I started it. It’s called the Rested community.
If you’re here, then I know you’re wondering if Rested is right for you.
Let me ask you this: how many times have you said to yourself “I need space for me!”
Women are givers. And right now, there are a lot of needs to be met. How do we give without burning out? How do we stay loving and caring and relaxed in a world - and maybe home - that keeps demanding our time and energy?
Life is busy, AND we know that doing more - giving until we are out of power - is getting us nowhere.
Add a global crisis of the heart, relentless bullies, toxic systems trying to strip us of our power, the rise in the destructive constellation of patriarchy and narcissism…and it’s even more clear that women need a Rest Sanctuary to revive ourselves and remember our power.
Marion Woodman spoke of Sitting by the Well.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes wrote of feeding our Wild Woman in her book Women Who Run with the Wolves.
V (formerly Eve Ensler) brought us The Vagina Monologues and declarations reminding us that The Revolution Lives in My Body.
Some may call this the way of the conscious feminine.
I call it the tone of rest.
Right now, more than ever, we need to bring a tone of rest to ourselves, our homes, our communities, and our world.
I know this moment can feel like a lot. Where to begin?
To answer this, I am reminded of the writer Ann Lamott who said, “Nothing will work unless you do.”
We must start with ourselves - with becoming Rested Women.
I am excited to welcome you into the Rested community, a space I created as a rest sanctuary for women who need deep rest, quiet time, healing, and courage. Rested is a space that gives you permission to lie down…permission to feel…permission to chuck perfect…permission to leave the toxic rest messages you may have grown up with. (“Rest is weak” and “Rest is lazy” to name two of many). The Rested community is a refuge for you…in a modern world always seducing you back to busy. It’s a place to explore all the different types of rest you need, trust your intuition again, and find your most rested voice.
Especially now, it feels like every woman needs to get on an island of Rested Women. There’s a lot of unrest out there. Becoming rested alone is hard to sustain. We need each other.
Each month inside Rested we’ll meet live for yoga nidra (the most fantastic sleep-based meditation I know), silent meditation, writing, and listening to our voices. I promise to offer you supreme relaxation and lots of time to reflect on how you can step into your most rested life. Everything is optional - you can listen anytime so if you cannot come live it’s no problem. There is also a library of rest practices to use any time.
If you know in your bones it’s time to make a commitment to rest…to be perhaps the first in your family line to become a Rested Woman…then I hope you will get out your blanket, puff your pillows, and join me inside Rested.
I look forward to giving you the deep rest you deserve.

Meet Karen
Mom, Author, and Founder of Daring to Rest
Karen is the author of the book, “Daring to Rest: Claim Your Power with Yoga Nidra Meditation.” She has led women’s leadership groups for over 30 years and taught and trained women in yoga nidra meditation, the Daring to Rest method and The Rested Path framework. The founder of Daring to Rest, Karen is passionate about helping women change their lives through the power of rest. In addition to her book Daring to Rest, soon after she started resting with yoga nidra she wrote a critically acclaimed play called “Birth” that was performed around the world, translated into four languages and raised over one million dollars to improve maternity care for mothers, families and babies. Karen is the mother of two boys, now in their twenties, who were raised on rest.
What Rested members have to say…
“ I love it that Rested is part of a women’s rest revolution!”
“Our monthly rest circles are very, very nourishing. This group of women resting together and sharing has been a lifesaver for me! Karen’s presence and guidance is incredibly special and I am so grateful for Rested.”
“Before joining Rested I felt very alone, vulnerable to shaming for being too ‘woo’ or having ‘crazy’ ideas...like desiring a slower more restful life instead of one ruled by a ‘bigger better faster more’ achievement-orientated mindset. Thanks Karen for being such a wonderful rest advocate and guide in our non-rest-positive world. Rested has opened my eyes in so many ways - lying down to wake up, indeed!”

Yoga nidra is a transformational sleep practice and state of consciousness that is deeply restorative. All you do is lie (or sit) down, listen to a voice guiding you, and do nothing.
It has been said that 30 minutes of yoga nidra feels like 3-4 hours of sleep in your body.
Women in our Rested Community have called yoga nidra “life changing.”
It’s the deepest rest we know.
