The 7 Types of Rest – finding what you really need

Rest isn’t just about sleep. In this workshop, inspired by Saundra Dalton-Smith’s TED Talk, we’ll explore the seven different types of rest and why having a balance of them matters for our wellbeing.

Together, we’ll gently look at how to recognise the kind of tiredness you’re experiencing — whether it’s physical, mental, emotional or something deeper — and how to understand which type of rest would truly support you right now.

This is a reflective, practical session offering insight, clarity and simple ways to respond more kindly to your own needs. A space to pause, learn, and reconnect with what helps you feel more nourished and restored.

Susie will be your facilitator for this workshop.

This session is being held on Friday 23rd January 10-11.30am, in The Place to Pause & Breathe, Bonnybridge. The session costs £5 to attend. Click here to book Hot drinks and snacks will be available.
