Free Well-Being Summit – May 19-22, 2026
One of our previous Well-Being in Law Week Speakers, Kara Perry, has shared with NJLAP a free event. Kara, a featured speaker, will present the importance of rest as a competitive advantage for sustainable leadership. She will share a guided Yoga Nidre Practice(also known as Non Sleep Deep Rest).
The event, Rest to Rise™, is designed for lawyers, law students, and other professionals in high pressure roles who want more sustainable ways to perform, lead, and think clearly in demanding environments. It brings together researchers, lawyers, educators, and other experts to explore topics such as nervous system regulation, decision fatigue, cognitive load, reflection practices, and the cultural pressures that shape how professionals work and lead.
The summit is hosted by Chandani Patel Thompson, a lawyer and founder of Clarity Print Co., whose work focuses on helping professionals find more sustainable ways to work and lead.

In a profession that often asks us to carry others’ burdens,
laughter can be the release valve that helps us carry our own.
