The Rested Table

Come sit down with us.

A soft place for Black women in Atlanta to rest, exhale, and simply be.

The Rested Table is an intimate 90-minute rest experience for women who are used to carrying a lot.

No networking. No performing. Nothing to prove.

15 women. One table. Once a month.

You spend enough time doing. This is a place to simply be.

At The Rested Table, we'll slow down, experience guided rest, share honest conversation and practice receiving instead of always being the one who gives.

No networking. No performing. Nothing to prove.

Just come as you are.

What happens when we sit down?

ARRIVE

Come as you are. Exhale. Let yourself arrive without the pressure to network or perform.

REST

A guided restorative practice to help you slow down and settle.

CONVERSATION

Honest, meaningful conversation around a different rest theme each month.

A TINY STEP

Something simple to carry rest with you after you leave.

The first Table filled before I ever announced it.

I quietly invited a few women to our first Rested Table in Atlanta.

Before I made a single social media post, all 15 seats were taken.

That confirmed something I already suspected:

Women don’t just want to hear about rest. We want spaces where we can actually experience it.

So we’re making room at the Table every month.

Meet Your Host

Hey, I'm Malica, Your Rest Bestie

I'm Malica, a Mom, Rest Coach and author of Rest Is the Way, and a woman who spent a lot of years being very good at doing.

I know what it's like to carry the corporate career, the family, the responsibilities, and the dreams, while telling yourself you'll rest when things finally slow down.

I created The Rested Table because I wanted a soft place for Black women to pause, breathe and experience rest without having to earn it first.

A place where you don't have to perform, produce, or take care of anyone else for a little while.

You don't have to arrive rested. You don't have to have it all figured out.
