SUMMARY:The Gift of Deep Rest: An Hour of Yoga Nidra Meditation (Online Program)
DESCRIPTION:What comes to mind when you see the word “yoga?” Downward Dogs? Sun Salutations? Sitting on the floor with your legs in a pretzel? Well\, think again! \nYoga Nidra means “yogic sleep” and the only movement involved is whatever it takes for you to recline in a comfy chair or lie down on a bed\, sofa\, or mat on the floor. This is a guided mindfulness meditation practice that helps to relax the mind and body by simply listening to the teacher’s prompts and resting in stillness. One hour of yoga nidra is said to be as restorative as four hours of sleep. \nThe yoga wisdom teachers of the past knew the importance of rest and relaxation for health and wellbeing and passed this practice down through the ages to us. 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. \nRather than driving to a yoga studio\, lying on the floor\, and driving back home again\, the Well invites you to rest comfortably in your own home (in your PJs with your camera off\, if you wish!). Suggestions for your comfort include: \n· A quiet place to lie down or recline\n· A pillow for your head and under your knees\n· A blanket and socks for warmth\n· If desired\, an eye mask or pillow to block light\n· A glass of water nearby \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! \nHear from Jamila in this video where she describes in great detail what Yoga Nidra is and its benefits for mind\, body\, and spirit! \n\n \n  \nDATES: Mondays – 3/9\, 4/6\, 5/4\, 6/8/26 and Tuesdays – 3/24\, 4/21\, 5/26\, 6/30/26 \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.

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.

SUMMARY:Autumn Seasonal Reset: Invitation to Release and Harvest (Online Program)
DESCRIPTION:As Autumn arrives\, nature invites us into a season of release\, harvest\, and gratitude. The air shifts\, the light softens\, and we find ourselves standing at a threshold — between the abundance of summer and the quiet stillness of winter. The Autumnal Equinox offers a rare moment of balance\, when day and night stand equal\, inviting us to restore balance in our own lives. \nYou are invited to join Spiritual Director and Coach\, Lisa Beacham\, for an Autumn Seasonal Reset to honor the rich\, reflective energy of the season and the balancing power of the Equinox. This is a time to pause\, acknowledge the fruits of your labor\, and let go of what no longer serves you as you prepare for the months ahead. \nThrough guided reflection and the Personal Heart Compass tool\, the Autumn Seasonal Reset invites you to: \n\nReconnect with your heart and inner wisdom.\nCelebrate your personal harvest and cultivate gratitude.\nRelease what no longer serves you from the past season.\nExplore themes of balance\, abundance\, and the wisdom of transition.\nCreate intentions to guide you through the changing season.\n\n\nWhether you are in a season of new possibilities\, endings\, or somewhere in between\, this gathering offers space to reset and re-align. Join a community of like-hearted individuals for a meaningful pause in your year — a time to step back from the busyness\, reflect on your journey\, and step into the next season with clarity\, gratitude\, and grace. \nLet’s welcome Autumn together – with open hands\, balanced hearts\, and a deep sense of purpose. \nDATE: Sunday\, September 27\, 2026 \nTIME: 4:00 – 6:00 PM ET \nCOST: $40 \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.

Thank you! \nFACILITATOR: Lisa Beacham \nFACILITATOR BIO: \nLisa works with accomplished\, spiritually minded men and women in their mid to late career who are feeling empty\, burned out\, and know they cannot continue doing what they’re doing. She helps them to create a fulfilling and impactful career and life path that will carry them through to retirement. Even after making bold moves and big transitions multiple times in her life\, the decision at age 51 to leave a stable job\, volunteer for a year in Haiti\, and return to carve out a new career and life path was a challenging one. Listening for guidance\, practicing discernment\, and learning to embrace the support available for each step of the way has been transformative. Lisa creates a personalized approach for each of her clients based on their particular needs and goals. She draws upon an extensive set of practices and tools from her training and experience as a coach\, spiritual director\, Enneagram guide\, and lifelong seeker and learner. In addition\, she leads workshops and retreats.
