The Experience
R.E.S.T. stands for Radical Ethical Spirituality Tethered to Tradition. It began as a substantial course using lectures, films, music guides, cultural analysis, theological conversation, and spiritual practice. The lectures introduce where the framework's components come from and how you can use them.
A1 · The Course
Explore the R.E.S.T. framework through teaching, curated films, music guides, reflection, and spiritual practice. Trace the ideas behind its components and consider how they can invigorate faith and conversation.
A2 · The Cohorts
Move through the material in a facilitated community, with room for questions, shared interpretation, and meaningful conversation. Cohorts offer a sustained setting for exploring what you are keeping, releasing, and reimagining.
A3 · Mixtape Live
Interactive pop-ups bring the framework into the room through live interviews, performances, short talks, and shared listening or viewing. Every gathering connects cultural analysis, theological exchange, participant interaction, and spiritual practice.
