SUMMARY:Yoga Nidra: Guided Meditation & Stillness (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 relaxation just by listening. \nOne hour of Yoga Nidra is equal to four (4) hours of sleep. As the mind slows down\, our thoughts begin to move away from us. Yoga Nidra happens in the space between waking and sleeping. It’s like floating! You disengage from stress-producing thoughts\, allowing the body\, mind\, and spirit to rest and heal naturally. Modern studies have validated the benefits of Yoga Nidra; showing that a guided meditation is very effective in reducing anxiety\, stress\, and depression. \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. These are the items you will need: \n· A quiet place to lay down or recline.\n· Pillow for head and under your knees.\n· Blanket for warmth.\n· If desired\, an eye mask or pillow to block light.\n· Water to drink. \nThe Well is thrilled to continue our relationship with certified Kripalu Mindful Outdoor Guide\, Yoga Instructor\, and I Am Yoga Nidra Facilitator\, Jamila Keita to offer this deeply healing and restorative practice. Most individuals report feelings of enhanced well-being\, calm and better sleep after each session. Many feel relaxed and energized. \nIf you are new to meditation\, never tried or been successful at meditation\, we encourage you to give Yoga Nidra a try. You will be amazed at how easily you will achieve a meditative state. \nThe sessions are being offered twice a month on a Monday and Tuesday evening. Give yourself (and maybe a loved one!) the gift of deep rest and relaxation this Spring. Your body will thank you! \nDATE: Mondays\, 4/7\, 5/12\, 6/9/25 and Tuesdays\, 4/22\, 5/27\, 6/24/25 \nTIME: 7:30 – 8:30 PM ET \nCOST: $15 per session \nLOCATION: ZOOM \nREGISTRATION is required; please register here. \nCANCELLATION / REFUND POLICY: Please read our cancellation / refund policy\, 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: 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.

SUMMARY:Horizons Men's Group - 2024-2025 (In-Person Program with Online Option)
DESCRIPTION:Most men do not feel they can talk freely about their spiritual journey. At the Well\, we feel differently. The Well’s Horizons Men’s Group is a place where honest conversations take place about how we live out our spirituality uniquely as men in the world – within our daily living. Past discussions have included the deconstruction and reconstruction of faith\, the first and second halves of life\, spirituality and imperfection\, why do bad things happen to good people\, and what can we learn from other faith traditions – just to name a few! \nThis season we will use Richard Rohr’s book\, Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life\, to help us enter a time of deeper conversations and a growing community. \nIf you are looking for a community where hard questions are welcomed and explored\, we have a place for you. Horizons meets on the third Tuesday of each month (October – June)\, from 7pm – 8:30pm. We will meet in-person with the option to “zoom in” for those who may not live close by or for those for whom “zooming” is more comfortable. Come check us out!\n\nDATE: Tuesdays – 10/15\, 11/19\, 12/17/24\, and 1/21\, 2/18\, 3/18\, 4/15\, 5/20\, and 6/17/25 \nTIME: 7:00 – 8:30 PM ET \nCOST: $195 \nLOCATION: Well for the Journey – 120 W. Seminary Ave\, Lutherville-Timonium\, MD 21093 and ZOOM \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.

SUMMARY:Summer Seasonal Reset: A Mid-Year Pause to Reconnect and Realign (Online Program)
DESCRIPTION:A few testimonials from past “Reset” programs facilitated by Lisa Beacham… \n“This program was so well run with perfect pacing and balance of experiences. I walked away with my well full.” – Robin August \n“Thank you for this wonderful experience! It was just what I needed.” – Alice Jo Weaver \n“I enjoyed my time today with Lisa and the other people in the retreat. It was a wonderful day!” – Michaele Fisher \n“Just really enjoyed and got a lot out of this program and so enjoy programs at the Well.” – Lorraine Andrews \nAs Summer arrives in full bloom\, nature bursts with light\, abundance\, and creative energy. The Summer Solstice-our longest day-marks a sacred standstill point\, a moment of fullness before a shift. In the midst of the new season’s outward movement and the noise of a busy world\, how often do we pause to listen inward? \nYou are invited to join Spiritual Director and Coach\, Lisa Beacham\, for a Summer Seasonal Reset to honor the expansive energy of Summer and the powerful threshold of the Solstice. Take time to reconnect with your inner wisdom and reclaim what matters most as you shape the direction of the new season. \nThrough guided reflection and the Personal Heart Compass tool\, the Summer Seasonal Reset invites you to: \n· Reconnect with your heart\, inner wisdom\, and the divine light within\n· Release what no longer serves you from the past season\n· Reflect on your year so far and realign with your deepest intentions\n· Embrace the themes of Summer: expansion\, abundance\, creativity\, and joy\n· Acknowledge the Solstice as a sacred pause-a moment to shift\, re-center\, and envision the season ahead. \nWhether this is your first time working with Lisa or you’ve participated in her popular Returning to Center retreat or a previous Seasonal Reset\, you are warmly welcome. Three Seasonal Resets are being held this year as we transition from one season to the next. Each provides an opportunity to pause\, let go of the previous season and welcome and create intentions for the incoming season. \nJoin a community of like-hearted individuals for this two-hour online workshop designed to help you reset\, return to center\, and re-energize. Let’s welcome Summer with light\, joy\, and renewed purpose. \nDATE: Wednesday\, June 18\, 2025 \nTIME: 6:30 – 8:30 PM ET \nCOST: $40 \nLOCATION: ZOOM \nREGISTRATION is required; please register here. \nCANCELLATION/REFUND POLICY:  Please read our cancellation / refund policy 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: 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. \nEven 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. \nLisa 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.

SUMMARY:Walk Slowly: A Praying in Color Meditation on the Labyrinth (Online Program)
DESCRIPTION:Testimonials of past Praying in Color meditations with Facilitator\, Lorie Conway… \n“Lorie did a great job making a welcoming environment for the diverse group of participants.” – Maddy Shea \n“Lorie is always well-prepared with beautiful poems & has a very calm\, reassuring presence in these troubled times.” – Marie Cournoyer \n“Lorie sets a safe and comfortable space. Her comments are thoughtful and I still think about them. She is a caring and inspiring presence.” – Donna Mollenkopf \n“What a beautiful mediation practice! It is nice to have space held for this work. I loved it!” – Jennifer Ehrhardt \n“Oh do you have time to linger for just a little while out of your busy and very important day for the goldfinches that have gathered in a field of thistles…?” – Mary Oliver \nSummer! Once the season of longer days\, gentler rhythms\, and a slower pace\, summer can now too easily get caught up in an over-scheduled whirlwind that goes by in the blink of an eye and misses the goldfinches swaying on the thistle…if we let it. \nWe can choose a different way this summer. We can choose to linger with the goldfinches or our morning coffee\, to pause\, and to savor. We can choose to be intentional with our time and calendars. We can choose rest and joy as resistance to the hectic pace and surface turmoil that is rampant at this time in our history. \nYou are invited to join us for a contemplative meditation where we will ponder a different path for our summers. Using the complementary spiritual practices of Praying in Color and Walking the Labyrinth\, Lorie will guide us in a slow and reflective paper labyrinth “walk” using colorful writing utensils such as colored pencils\, markers\, crayons\, or pens. Just as praying with the labyrinth is not about walking but about experiencing your body moving along the path\, praying with color is not about art\, but about experiencing your hands holding a pencil moving along a piece of paper. Both practices invite us to let go of words\, sink deeper\, and engage our bodies in listening\, prayer\, and meditation. There will also be an opportunity to share our reflections with one another in sacred community\, as you feel led\, to deepen the experience. \nNo prior experience with the labyrinth\, praying in color\, or artistic skills are required! A paper labyrinth will be emailed to you to print in advance. All you need is the colorful writing utensils of your choice. Lorie will guide every step of these simple and meaningful spiritual practices. \nCome join us and start your summer at the pace you choose! \nDATE: Wednesday\, June 25\, 2025 \nTIME: 7:00 – 8:30 PM ET \nCOST: $20 \nLOCATION: ZOOM \nREGISTRATION is required: please register here. \nCANCELLATION/REFUND POLICY:  Please read our cancellation / refund policy 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: Lorie Conway \nFACILITATOR BIO: \nLorie has a passion for deep listening and accompanying others on their spiritual journeys through spiritual direction\, small groups\, and retreats.

SUMMARY:FREE: Care for the Caregiver Retreat 2025 (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 third annual Care for the Caregiver Retreat on Thursday\, June 26th 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 Yoga Nidra instructor\, Jamila Keita.\n· Spiritual Direction/Companioning mini sessions – 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 a brief respite 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. A team member from Well For The Journey will contact you after June 15th to schedule and confirm your personalized retreat plan. \nPlease accept the invitation and let us care for you. If you joined us at a prior retreat\, we would love to see you again this year! \n“By making time for self-care\, you prepare yourself to be your best so you can share your gifts with the world. Rest and self-care are so important. When you take time to replenish your spirit\, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. Self-care isn’t selfish. You cannot serve from an empty vessel.” – Eleanor Brownn\, Author & Speaker \nDATE: Thursday\, June 26\, 2025 \nTIME: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM \nCOST: Free (RSVP Required) \nLOCATION: Well for the Journey – 120 W.

SUMMARY:Sound Soul Weaving:  A Seated Sound Bath Experience (In-Person Program)
DESCRIPTION:“This was an amazing meditation and one I would do again with Jenny. She creates a sacred space\, is welcoming and gracious. It was exactly what I needed today.” – Donna Mollenkopf \n“I had never experienced sound bathing in my life. It was an incredibly relaxing\, soul nurturing\, meditative and mindful practice. It was a self-giving gift of mind massage I gave to myself and highly needed in the turbulent times we live in. I loved it all. Best program I ever went to at the well.” – Maria Pane \n“This was my first experience with soul sounds coming from multiple sources. Jen combined them with the glass bowls perfectly. The length of time was perfect to allow us to let go and sink deeply into the vibrations of each instrument. I left feeling that my body and soul had been completely nourished.” – Judy Wright \n“Have it monthly. :)” – Diana Fusting \n“I loved every minute!” – Sandi Schultz \nThe practice of sound bathing has gained popularity recently but is actually a healing practice that is thousands of years old with deep roots in cultures around the world. Jenny Ehrhardt has been facilitating sound offerings for several years\, incorporating her first love as an herbalist into all that she offers. Integrating sound using crystal chakra bowls\, bells\, song\, and rattles with plants and sweetness from the earth\, opens our hearts and nourishes the soul for the healing of the world. What a perfect combination for the Well community and all who seek soul nourishment and healing for self and others! \nWe are thrilled to welcome Jenny back to the Well for another session of healing\, renewal and nourishment. Jenny will offer a time of stillness\, sacred listening\, reflection\, and alignment with spirit that invites us to take care of ourselves as well as send love and peace out into the world through our vibrations\, prayers and the collective spiritual intention of a sacred community. \nYou will be seated for this session which will begin with a time of introduction and honoring of each participant\, inviting plant spirit connection to our intentions/prayers and sound healing meditation. Healing sound helps break up trauma in the body and assists in releasing whatever no longer serves us. This is so important in our culture and world today. At the end of the session\, Jenny will share seasonal herbal tea and a sweet offering to help integrate and embody the experience. \nWe are thrilled that Jenny found the Well (literally in her own neighborhood!) and is sharing her gifts of love and presence now as part of the Well community. We invite you to join Jenny and trust this ancient healing process of soul sound weaving for the renewal of your body\, mind and spirit and the nourishment of your soul. \nPlease don’t delay! Jenny’s Sound Soul Weaving sessions at the Well sell out every time! \nDATE: Sunday\, June 29\, 2025 \nTIME: 2:00 – 4:00 PM \nCOST: $50 \nLOCATION: Well for the Journey – 120 W.

I have seen so many beautiful effects this work has had on so many people\, including myself. I feel honored to be working with the bowls and other sounds to help connect us to something much deeper\, Ourselves. Working with all ages on many different levels\, I see the peace come over most people in a very surprising way. I have been called to create small\, intimate sound offerings right here in my hometown. I am grateful to have found Well for the Journey\, which has been such a sacred place for me this past year. I work deeply with the plants as well and had a small shoppe in Hampden for over 10 years. I have been called to service and I love plants\, sound\, and people who are open to change and learning and being in a community without judgement. Pure Hearts\, I feel this at Well For the Journey and look forward to connecting more and sharing and learning through sound and the plants.
