The Importance of Rest in a Chaotic World with Damon Turner

This week’s episodes ask "What We Gon Do About Gatherings?” and our second conversation is with Damon Turner. He is the founder of TRAP HEALS - www.trapheals.com - a Los Angeles based arts and events collective centered around healing black people and communities of color. Damon and host Tre Borden discuss his practice and how he is spending his time preparing for a time after COVID-19. They also explain the power of “alchemy” to transform our biggest challenges into power and opportunity, and the importance of rest and healing during this time to make sure you are showing up as your purest self when this is over. In a time where Black people especially are suffering and experiencing so much loss and pain, this is an especially timely and poignant conversation.
