SUMMARY:Exploring the Cup of Our Life (A six-part\, online series)
DESCRIPTION:In these tender and challenging times\, it is ever more important to understand how we can hold harmony and balance between our inner and outer lives. While using Joyce Rupp’s book\, The Cup of Our Life\, as a foundation\, we will use a simple cup as a metaphor for our lives. Perhaps you have a favorite cup to hold your morning beverage. Maybe it has a few chips from being used so often. Or perhaps there is a beloved cup that has broken and been put back together with love. All of these cups can act as metaphors for times in our lives. \nDuring our gatherings\, we will examine how we fill our cup with intention\, and what we pour out of our cup into our own lives as well as the lives of those around us. As the seasons of life change\, so does the need to empty from our cup that which no longer serves us and fill it with those things that will help us meet the next season more fully. We must discern what to keep\, what to let go of and what to add to meet ourselves in the fullness of our lives. \nJoin Spiritual Companion and Retreat Facilitator\, Beth Wood-Roig\, for this soul-nourishing and enriching winter series from the warmth and comfort of your home. Each week\, Beth will invite reflection on a different image of the cup\, such as the open cup\, the chipped cup\, the broken cup\, and the cup of compassion\, encouraging insight into how we live with intention and harmony. It is not necessary to purchase or read the book. Simply bring your favorite cup and an openness to discover all that this simple tool can offer. \nDATES: Tuesdays – 2/3\, 2/10\, 2/17\, 2/24\, 3/3\, 3/10/26 \nTIME: 7:00 – 8:30 PM ET \nCOST: $120 \nLOCATION: ZOOM \nREGISTRATION is required; please register here. \nIMPORTANT: You will receive an email from programming@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: Beth Wood-Roig \nFACILITATOR BIO: \nBeth’s background includes many years leading contemplative retreats\, small group facilitation and spiritual companioning. She believes that we each experience the Divine in our own unique way.

SUMMARY:Yoga Nidra: A Guided Meditation Practice (Online Program)
DESCRIPTION:Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation practice that helps to relax the mind and body by doing “nothing.” This ancient practice produces a profound state of rest and relaxation simply by listening. \nOne hour of Yoga Nidra is said to be as restorative as four hours of sleep. As the mind slows down\, the whirlwind of thoughts holding our attention begin to move away from us as we float in the space between waking and sleeping. As you disengage from stress-producing thoughts\, the body\, mind\, and spirit begin to rest and heal naturally. Modern research continues to affirm the benefits of Yoga Nidra\, showing significant reductions in anxiety\, stress\, and depression after guided mediation. Many participants report improved sleep\, a deep sense of calm\, and renewed energy. \nResting comfortably in your own home\, the practice can be done lying down or in a seated position with your feet up. All you have to do is listen. Suggestions for your comfort include: \n\nA quiet place to lie down or recline\nA pillow for your head and under your knees\nA blanket and socks for warmth\nIf desired\, an eye mask or pillow to block light\nA glass of water nearby\n\n\nThe Well is delighted to continue offering this deeply healing and restorative practice in collaboration with certified Kripalu Mindful Outdoor Guide\, Yoga Instructor\, and I Am Yoga Nidra Facilitator\, Jamila Keita. If you are new to meditation\, have never tried or been successful at meditation\, or are just curious about yoga without any yoga poses\, we encourage you to give Yoga Nidra a try. You will be amazed at how easily you will achieve a meditative state with Jamila’s gentle guidance and soothing voice. \nPlus – Never Miss A Session! Each Yoga Nidra session will be recorded. The sessions are being offered twice a month on a Monday and Tuesday evening. A link to the recording will be emailed to registered participants the following day and will be available for three (3) days. You can listen as often as you like until the link expires after 3 days. \nGive yourself (and maybe a loved one!) the gift of deep rest and relaxation. Your body\, mind\, and spirit will thank you! \nDATES: Mondays – 2/9\, 3/9\, 4/6\, 5/4\, 6/8/26 and Tuesdays – 1/27\, 2/24\, 3/24\, 4/21\, 5/26\, 6/23/26 \nTIME: 7:30 – 8:30 PM ET \nCOST: $20 \nLOCATION: ZOOM \nREGISTRATION is required; please register here. \nIMPORTANT: You will receive an email from programming@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.

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 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. \nI never imagined this second career as it is\, but it seems like a natural evolution to me. I hope you enjoy my offerings.
