Take a moment to reflect on the pillars of R.E.S.T.
What does Restoration look like for you right now? Where are you seeking Enlightenment? How can we deepen our Solidarity? What would it mean to truly embrace Transformation?
Restoration
"Restoration" represents a heartfelt call to reconnect with one's inner self and the essence of one's actions. It embodies a healing embrace, a safe haven where individuals can rediscover their core energies and find a space to rejuvenate, recover, and thrive. The REST Conference's program serves as a sanctuary, recognizing the tireless dedication of early childhood leaders. Each session becomes a tribute to their resilience, vitality, and unwavering commitment to the betterment of children and communities.
Enlightenment
"Enlightenment" serves as a beacon, shedding light on the path we collectively traverse and infusing our journey with shared insights and the collective wisdom of leaders of color. In the realm of early childhood development, your stories wield immense power, shaping our reality. Our specialized programming is carefully crafted not just to illuminate but also to kindle the flames of knowledge and innovation within you, serving as a catalyst for change.
Solidarity
"Solidarity" is the cornerstone of our collaborative spirit, forming an enduring alliance that binds us in our shared goals and challenges. It reinforces our collective voice and reaffirms our commitment to ensuring that every leader receives the recognition and support they deserve. Through the REST Conference, we construct a support network that embraces the rich tapestry of our experiences, uniting us in our common purpose.
Transformation
"Transformation" represents the collective journey we undertake—a shared pursuit of change that transcends conventional boundaries. It involves actively reimagining a world where equity, inclusivity, and liberation become the reality for every early childhood leader of color. The REST Conference is intentionally designed to empower you, not only as a catalyst for personal change but as an inspiration for transformation within the communities and lives you impact.
