Rest Nest 

11-4 on Museum Street.  A self care sanctuary and sensory retreat, helping to make Pride more accessible and encourage community care. There will be a Book Nook, art materials for inner expression, healing practitioners, a meditation area, free tea, and an Herbal Share Shelf. Volunteers can read aloud to kids or do art with them so that solo caregivers can still come in and relax. Headphones, ear plugs, eye pillows and weighted blankets will be available. Come rest in community.
