Soul Sabbatical: A Rest Retreat at Ellis

Soul Sabbatical: A Rest Retreat for the Culture is a community-centered wellness experience offering intentional space for holistic rest, reflection, and renewal. Hosted by Jessica Lá Rel & Pavielle Goldman, this outdoor gathering at Ellis Park Terrace in Bronzeville features gentle movement and yoga, sound baths, meditative music, guided journaling, and live acoustic performance. Rooted in the belief that rest is a human right, Soul Sabbatical centers Black and Brown communities—particularly those navigating burnout from caregiving, advocacy, and service—by providing accessible, restorative practices that nourish the body, mind, and spirit. https://jessicalarel.com/
