City of Welcome

City of Welcome

A collection of work and resources examining what it could look like if our city collectively practiced the beautiful culture of Welcome that is lived out by so many families and communities around OKC. Our hope is to inspire OKC to become a city where all Flourish by learning from some of the most gracious welcomers we know - resettled refugees, asylum seekers, and immigrant communities. We believe that, often, those in our community who have experienced the most barriers to being welcomed are those who most graciously, openly, and bravely extend welcome to others.

The Way of Rest

Grind culture, hustle culture, how to get ahead – all of this centers on experiencing our bodies as mere tools for productivity instead of embracing and honoring our human needs to just simply be. In this curriculum, we explore REST as a divine right and a resistance to a culture that tells us we are not enough. We examine why rest is important, why rest is a communal practice, and what it means to give ourselves space to heal, repair, and take root. Other topics include justice barriers to rest, how our attention is pulled away from rest, what types of rest we might pursue, and what the natural world can teach us about resting well.
