FREE: Nature Engagement at the Well – A Program for Individuals with Dementia and their Care Partners (In-Person Program)

Well for the Journey is thrilled to be partnering with Dementia Friendly Baltimore County this year through a funded grant that centers on creating meaningful engagement opportunities for individuals living with dementia and their care partners. Please join us for some intentional time this Spring in and around nature at our Lutherville-Timonium center. The program includes nature walks, reminiscence, mindful body movement, contemplative nature practices, and music/sensory engagement. Lunch and refreshments will be served.

This program is designed for participants who may or may not have previously spent time outdoors prior to the onset of dementia. Participation in some of the activities requires mobility, such as walking in the woods or movement of the body, although accommodation can be made for wheelchair accessibility and other physical limitations.

Benefits of participating in this event include:

• Moments in which individuals living with dementia and their care partners have quality time together in Nature
• Being exposed to beauty, movement, reflection, and imagination while accommodating cognitive differences and decline
• Connecting with oneself and former/current interests and activities in a familiar way that provides momentary conscious awareness, connection, and a deep impact on a spiritual/meaning-making level that is more than momentary
• Participating in community while being nourished meaningfully on an emotional/spiritual level.

The event is free, but registration is required so that we can plan appropriately and notify you in the event of inclement weather. The Weather Date for the program is Friday, May 16, 2025. After receipt of your registration, you will receive a phone call that will help personalize your visit and participation in the program. We hope you will join us!
