In America today, ask someone, “How are you?” and “Busy” is a common response. Despite all of the digital devices designed to save time, many people still feel there is never enough. In an age when 24/7 connectivity, productivity, and efficiency often take priority, the boundary blurs between work and non-work, prompting the question, “What is rest in our fast-paced, ever-connected world?”
This is the focus of “Too Busy to Rest: Boundaries and Balance in a Nonstop World,” a free conversation with Lisa Naas Cook on April 13 at 6:30 p.m. at the Columbia Gorge Community College Hood River campus, 1730 College Way, on the Heights. This program is hosted by CGCC and sponsored by Oregon Humanities.
Cook has an MA in applied theology from Marylhurst University and a BS in natural resources from the Ohio State University. Her graduate work focused on the universal wisdom that the Jewish Sabbath offers for personal and planetary well-being in the modern world. Cook writes and leads programs in Hood River about sacred rest, intentional technology use, and the Universe Story.
Through the Conversation Project, Oregon Humanities offers free programs that engage community members in thoughtful, challenging conversations about ideas critical to our daily lives and our state’s future.
