A respite mixtape for solvers of wicked problems
Our second annual Rest for the Wicked playlist is here!
In what we hope will be a period of rest for you during the last weeks of 2025, we invite you to hit play on this mixtape curated by Generate Canada staff.
Our wish is that these songs create space for you to slow down and reconnect with whatever restores you. Maybe it’s being with nature or taking some time away from your desk––whatever helps you reconnect with what matters most.
The playlist is on Spotify. If you aren’t a Spotify user, you can view the playlist below.
