SUMMARY:FREE: Care for the Caregiver Retreat 2024 (In-Person Program)
DESCRIPTION:Are you a family or professional caregiver in the local area who would benefit from a few hours of physical and spiritual respite and restoration? Then please join us for our second annual Care for the Caregiver Retreat on Thursday\, June 27th from 10 AM – 1 PM at Well For The Journey in Lutherville\, MD! \nAt the Well\, we recognize that caregivers have little time for themselves and have a unique need for their own community\, self-care\, rest\, and respite so that they can continue to offer loving care for those in need. This retreat is our gift to you. Caregivers of loved ones or clients with dementia\, a terminal illness\, or a chronic condition are invited to spend some intentional time being refilled and recharged by participating in restorative and life-giving self-care. \nOur spacious time together will open with a brief blessing and end with a brief closing ritual. You will be welcome to select from the below gifts to personalize the remainder of your retreat time: \n· Chair Massage with licensed massage professionals\, Verna Queen and Scott Kover.\n· Guided Meditation with certified Healing Touch Practitioner and RN\, Marna Ross.\n· Spiritual Direction/Companioning mini sessions. This is a wonderful opportunity to explore spiritual direction.\n· A sampling of contemplative practices to try if you wish\, including time outdoors on our meditation path\, lovely grounds\, and inviting screen porch.\n· Time to relax and enjoy light refreshments and supportive connection with others.\n· Light refreshments to nourish your body. \nThe retreat is free\, but registration is required so that we can set up your personalized schedule. Someone from Well For The Journey will contact you to schedule and confirm your personalized retreat before June 25th. \nThis offering will launch the Well’s outreach to this year’s caregivers in the community. Information will be provided about our upcoming Summer series designed for deepening self-care for individuals on the caregiver journey. Please accept the invitation and let us care for you. If you joined us at last year’s retreat\, we would love to see you again this year! \n“Self-care is never a selfish act – it is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have\, the gift I was put on the earth to offer to others. Anytime we can listen to true self and give it the care it requires\, we do so not only for ourselves but for others whose lives we touch.” – Parker Palmer\, Let Your Life Speak\n \nDATE: Thursday\, June 27\, 2024 \nTIME: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM \nCOST: Free \nRSVP:  Please RSVP Here. \nLOCATION: Well for the Journey – 120 W. Seminary Ave\, Lutherville-Timonium\, MD 21093 \nIMPORTANT: As participation is limited due to space\, if you RSVP that you are coming and then are unable\, we ask you to please call us as soon as you know\, so that we may offer your space to another deserving caregiver.

SUMMARY:The Establishment of Summer - A Mindful Outdoor Experience (In-Person Program)
DESCRIPTION:In our society\, we spend a lot of time inside and in front of a screen. Chances are good you are reading about this program on a screen within four walls right now. Yet we are part of creation\, and our bodies and spirits instinctively crave a connection with the great outdoors. Spending time in nature promotes an increased sense of relaxation and supports the body’s capacity for overall wellness and healing. \nWe are pleased to welcome back certified Kripalu Mindful Outdoor Guide and Yoga Instructor\, Jamila Keita\, for a Mindful Outdoor Experience (MOE) at the Well as we connect to the season of summer. This MOE invites participants to rediscover the joy in nature by engaging in practices that awaken the senses such as meditation\, mindful walking (sauntering)\, gentle stretching\, and forest bathing. Studies have found that a “regular dose of nature therapy” improves sleep\, reduces symptoms of depression\, combats stress\, increases vigor\, and boosts our immune systems. \nThe program is designed to give you an outdoor experience without having to go into a remote location. It is based on a nine-step practice developed by the Kripalu School of Mindful Outdoor Leadership (KSMOL). Jamila is thrilled to bring her love for nature and walking\, and her experience and joy guiding MOE’s throughout the Baltimore metro area\, to the Well’s backyard woods. \nNo prior experience is needed. Participants must have moderate mobility and be capable of walking on a wooded path.\n\nDATE: Friday\, June 28\, 2024 \nTIME: 11:30AM – 1:30PM \nCOST: $30 \nLOCATION: Well for the Journey – 120 W. Seminary Ave\, Lutherville-Timonium\, MD 21093 \nREGISTRATION is required; please register here. \nCANCELLATION POLICY: Please read our cancellation policy\, here. \nIMPORTANT: You will receive an email from lorie@wellforthejourney.org at least 24 hours in advance of the start of your program. If you are unable to find the email\, please check your SPAM or JUNK email folders. This email will include details to help you prepare for your program including any pertinent handouts\, location information\, and the ZOOM link for online programs. Please be sure you have received and read this email a minimum of 24 hours in advance of the start of the program. Thank you! \nFACILITATOR: Jamila Keita \nFACILITATOR BIO: \nHi! My name is Evangeline “Jamila” Keita. I’ve been practicing yoga for almost 25 years and decided to teach yoga as my “retirement job.” It was during my yoga training (YT200) that I was introduced to Yoga Nidra. Immediately after completing YT200 in 2014\, I took my first Yoga Nidra training. Since that time\, I’ve taken subsequent trainings in Yoga Nidra in 2017 and 2021. I love this practice. \nDuring the shutdown\, I found “nature therapy.” This led me to complete a course through “The Kripalu School of Outdoor Leadership” and become a KMOG (Kripalu Mindful Outdoor Guide). \nI currently work for Nature Worx\, a non-profit that provides mindful outdoor experiences and nature therapy to persons in recovery and the general public. I also teach two yoga classes per week on Zoom. Each class includes poses and a short Yoga Nidra session. Since 2022\, I have provided weekly Yoga Nidra sessions for Hopewell Cancer Support Center and occasional Mindful Outdoor Experiences (MOEs). Additionally\, I work for Nature Worx\, a non-profit that provides MOEs to persons in recovery and the general public.
