Radical Rest for Leaders and Changemakers - Resilient Communities Series
After an incredible first session of the 2025 Resilient Communities Series, we are excited for you to join us for session 2 - Radical Rest for Leaders and Changemakers - on Thursday 5th June, 6:30pm - 8:00pm.
The 2025 Resilient Communities Series is run in partnership with YHA Outdoor Citizens and supported by Sport England.
About The Session
Join nature writer and founder of Peaks of Colour, Evie Muir for an experiential and experimental embodied nature writing workshop. Through playful, sensory interactions and prompts developed from Evie’s debut book 'Radical Rest', we will explore how we can move towards resilience in our organising and movement practices. In this workshop we will apply Black Feminist, abolitionist and nature allied praxis to reimagine our relationship with rest, capacity and togetherness in service of collective liberation.
Meet Evie Muir (she/they)
Evie is a nature writer and founder of Peaks of Colour - a Peak District based nature-for-healing community group, by and for people of colour. Advocating for the decolonisation of the outdoors, Evie is interested in the ways nature can forge a landscape of healing and justice outside of carceral feminist models. Evie published her debut book in 2024, Radical Rest, which is an exploration of Black and Abolitionist Feminist approaches to activist burn out.
Having worked in the Violence Against Women and Girls sector for over 10 years', specialising in Black and queer survivors' intersectional experiences of gendered and racialised trauma, Evie left when she became burnt out, disenfranchised and disillusioned. Her work now sits on the intersections of gendered, racial and land justice, and seeks to nurture survivors' joy, rest, hope and imagination as abolitionist praxis.
