Club Rest Stop: Social Rest
Club Rest Stop × Centr: Social Rest
The time to rest is now. Join us August 16th — same time, same place.
A collaboration between Club Rest Stop and Centr.
Dear Resties,
After having to reschedule due to rain, we're back, and so ready to rest with you!
Our first meeting was such a hit that we're coming back, and this time we're turning to social rest...!
As you know, Club Rest Stop is all about learning and practicing the seven types of rest. Last time, we explored the rest types and practiced physical rest together. This month, we're turning to social rest — learning how to gauge our social batteries, set boundaries around social engagement, and, of course, rest together.
🌟 In collaboration with Centr
This month, we've teamed up with Centr to bring social rest to life. Centr, founded by Mahika Hari, is a free app that helps you be a better villager by maintaining and deepening the relationships you already have: remembering the personal details that matter, reconnecting more intentionally, and understanding your own social battery.
Centr's work lives right at the intersection of social connection, community, and wellness, exactly what social rest is about. Mahika will co-facilitate with a short talk on the basics, followed by activities built for practicing different forms of social rest in groups.
🧺 What to expect
Rest kits (while supplies last!)
A brief, friendly talk on social rest
A game station for easy, low-key connection
A book reading station to slow down
A quiet zone for resting on your own terms
And more!
📍 The details
🗓️ Sunday, August 16 · ⏰ 2–4 PM (programming begins at 2:30 with the social-rest presentation, followed by rest activities and quiet time) · 📍 The Great Hill, Central Park, NYC
Getting there: Take the B/C uptown to 103rd St — the exit is directly across from a Central Park entrance. It's a ~5-minute walk (use Google Maps) to the Great Hill, located right across from the bathrooms (if you're facing the bathrooms, the Great Hill is on your right). You'll find us set up on a rainbow blanket. Alternatively, enter at 106th and follow the signs for "Great Hill."
🎒 What to bring
Mostly, just yourself and a blanket to rest on. If you'd like, feel free to bring something that can be shared: craft materials, cards, snacks, baked goods, etc. It's never required, but it's a lovely way to break the ice with your fellow Resties.
💌 A few extras
The community we're building is so special, and I can't wait to rest with you again.
Want to warm up your social battery before the 16th? Centr is hosting a free friendship game in Union Square Park on August 2 (National Friendship Day) where you and your bestie answer questions about each other on whiteboards, high scorers spin a prize wheel, and everyone leaves with something. It's the perfect low-stakes, playful precursor to everything we'll be exploring on social rest. Grab your spot here!
New here? Everything you need is in your welcome packet, and we post updates on our TikTok.
