Radical Rest

‘An essential read that gets to the root of burnout and how to truly navigate life with intention, gratitude and a deep commitment to self and community.’ Leah Thomas, author of The Intersectional Environmentalist

‘Acknowledging everything from privilege and capitalism to the climate, Radical Rest intelligently articulates why we are feeling burnt out and what to do about it. This is not to be missed’ Stylist

‘Open the door to a hopeful and healed future with Radical Rest: a salve for burnt out souls.’ Minna Salami, author of Sensuous Knowledge



‘This is one of the most thought-provoking books I’ve read in a long time. It should be compulsory reading for all pol­icymakers. It’s honest, and blunt at times, but Muir’s voice is warm and accessible. There is no single quick fix to the systemic issues exposed, but this is nonetheless a manifesto of hope.’ Resurgence & Ecologist

Evie Muir is a domestic abuse survivor and qualified domestic abuse specialist, writer, and the founder of Peaks of Colour – a Peak District based nature-for-healing community group, by and for people of colour. Having worked in the VAWG sector for over 10 years, specializing in Black and queer survivors’ intersectional experiences of gendered and racialised trauma, she left the sector when she became burnt out, disenfranchised and disillusioned. Her work now sits on the intersections of gendered, racial and land justice, and seeks to nurture survivors’ joy, rest, hope and imagination as abolitionist praxis. As a Northern freelance writer, she’s passionate about the liberating form of writing as healing and resistance.
