SUMMARY:An Intergenerational Mindful Outdoor Experience (In-Person Program)
DESCRIPTION:In this Mindful Outdoor Experience (MOE)\, adults and children ages 5 to 12 learn to use their mind-body-spirit to begin the process of “re-wilding” to the outdoors. Spending time at “nature’s table” with our children creates cherished memories and builds an appreciation for all that “Mother Nature” gives. \nA regular dose of outdoor activities also teaches people of all ages how to remedy complex and challenging emotions such as stress and loneliness. It is especially important to teach our children how to handle these emotions as early as possible so they become more adept as teens and into adulthood. \nThe best way to learn from nature is to be outside in nature. Jamila Keita\, experienced Kripalu Mindful Outdoor Guide (KMOG)\, will lead us in age-appropriate nature-driven practices to awaken the senses and develop connections with the “more than human world\,” gentle yoga movement to breathe\, stretch & strengthen\, and guided meditation practices to release stress\, relax the mind and promote good emotional health. \nNo experience is necessary. Bring your curiosity and a few of the children\, grandchildren\, nieces\, nephews\, or other young people in your life for a delightful and engaging summer morning at the Well. We all need to get outside and take a breath! \nDATE: Saturday\, August 2\, 2025 \nTIME: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM \nCOST: 1 Adult – $40; 2 Adults – $60; Each Child – $5 \nREGISTRATION is required; please register here. \nCANCELLATION / REFUND POLICY: Please read our cancellation / refund policy\, here.  \nLOCATION: Well for the Journey – 120 W. Seminary Ave\, Lutherville-Timonium\, MD 21093 \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 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.

SUMMARY:An Artful Approach to Understanding Ecclesiastes through the Works of Vincent Van Gogh & Pete Seeger (Online Program)
DESCRIPTION:“I thought the program was well done and tied the scripture and art together well. The presenter was well prepared and passionate about the subject matter her enthusiasm was contagious.” – Janice Carico \n“This was a BEAUTIFUL program… I would love a redo of this or a similar program.” – Mary Murphy \nWritten more than twenty-two centuries ago\, Ecclesiastes is one of the Wisdom books of the Old Testament\, though many struggle with understanding its conflicting messages of futility and joy. And yet\, these timeless scriptures invite us to take a closer look and apply God’s gifts of wisdom in a society that is challenged by injustice\, oppression\, frustrations\, and greed. \nJoin us for this two-part program that engages participants through music and art to uncover a deeper awareness of the wisdom imparted in Ecclesiastes. Session 1 will focus on the first three chapters of Ecclesiastes\, including a deeper dive into Chapter 3 using the music of Pete Seeger as well as the art of Vincent van Gogh. Session 2 will focus on the last nine chapters of Ecclesiastes using the art of Van Gogh and will include a deeper dive into Chapter 8 using a 4-part structure that can be applied to understanding other passages in Ecclesiastes. \nAfter introductions and deeper dives\, each session will support quiet enjoyment of nineteen Van Gogh paintings paired with scripture passages from Ecclesiastes\, after which small breakout groups will discuss and then share with the larger group. Both sessions will end with provocative images and quotes to encourage attendees to continue their own artful applications of Ecclesiastes in today’s world. \nCheryl Duvall\, a lifelong artist and Vincent van Gogh enthusiast\, will facilitate this program that involves both passive and active engagement. During each session\, she will read select passages from Ecclesiastes while simultaneously displaying images from Van Gogh’s vast collection in a stimulating interpretation of this Book of Wisdom. She will invite discussion about using art and music to uncover deeper meanings to sacred scriptures\, helping us to apply God’s wisdom to today’s challenges. \nWe encourage you to participate in both sessions if your schedule allows. The Well is delighted to be able to offer three levels of pricing for both sessions so that you can choose the option that works best for you. If you can only join one session\, please do! \nDATES: Mondays – 8/4 and 8/11/25 \nTIME: 7:00 – 8:30 PM ET \nCOST: Please choose the pricing option that works best for you! (see link below) \nREGISTRATION is required; please register here. \nLOCATION: ZOOM \nIMPORTANT: You will receive an email from programming@wellforthejourney.org at least 24 hours in advance of the start of your program.

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: Cheryl Duvall \nFACILITATOR BIO: \nCheryl Duvall is a lifelong artist and enjoys exploring creative engagements across an eclectic range of interests that usually include her 2 Ss and 3Ws: sailing\, sewing\, writing\, watercolors\, and weaving. She retired from the commercial design and architecture industry after 44 glorious years and now works as a part-time boat captain for Watermark in Annapolis.

SUMMARY:Jimmy Carter’s Living Faith Book Study (Online Program)
DESCRIPTION:“Somewhat to my own surprise\, this has become a book whose core is love – the love that is possible among those who are closely related\, among strangers allied by a common dream or faith\, and even between people who begin by despising each other but find a way to see the image of God in each other’s humanity.”   ~ President Jimmy Carter\, Living Faith \nPublished in 1996\, more than a decade and a half after he left the office of U.S. President\, Jimmy Carter wrote a spiritual memoir about the breadth of his experiences during his political service to America. Living Faith examines this journey while probing Carter’s encompassing life with significant depth—the kind sourced from a durable faith that brings perseverance\, hope\, and compassion to every moment and encounter. It is filled to overflowing with stories of people whose lives have touched his\, including some from the world stage and many others from more modest walks of life. It reflects tenderly on his learnings about other faiths\, the process involved in forgiveness\, and the inspiration he received from theologians and family friends alike on the values of leading with love and patience. \nPlease join us for this two-part book study in which we will explore the meaning of faith in Jimmy Carter’s life as captured in his memoir\, where he considers the values closest to his heart and the personal beliefs that have nurtured and sustained him throughout his entire life. In each session\, we will highlight various passages from Living Faith as a community of spiritual seekers\, with opportunities for personal reflection and group discussion. Accompanied by moments of prayer/meditation\, writing prompts\, and additional contemplative exercises\, participants will be invited to engage with the heart of President Carter’s distinct and empowering message while connecting it to their respective life journeys\, leadership roles\, and interpersonal relationships. Time will also be allotted for optional sharing about what faith and some of its most authentic expressions look like in present-day circumstances. \nTake a break from Summer’s heat and step into this opportunity for spiritual encouragement and refreshment from the life and perspective of one of our most admired Americans! You can join us from anywhere that is optimal for you as each session is being facilitated online. Reading Living Faith in advance of this book study is not required but is welcomed. And\, we think you will enjoy it! \nDATE: Wednesdays\, 8/13 and 8/20/25 \nTIME: 1:00 – 3:00 PM ET \nCOST: $45 \nREGISTRATION is required; please register here. \nLOCATION: ZOOM \nIMPORTANT: You will receive an email from programming@wellforthejourney.org at least 24 hours in advance of the start of your program.

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\, August 17\, 2025 \nTIME: 2:00 – 4:00 PM \nCOST: $50 \nLOCATION: Well for the Journey – 120 W. Seminary Ave\, Lutherville-Timonium\, MD 21093 \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.

Thank you! \nFACILITATOR: Jenny Ehrhardt \nFACILITATOR BIO: \nOver the last two years I have been fortunate to work with two other women facilitating sound offerings on the Eastern Shore. 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.

It reflects tenderly on his learnings about other faiths\, the process involved in forgiveness\, and the inspiration he received from theologians and family friends alike on the values of leading with love and patience. \nPlease join us for this two-part book study in which we will explore the meaning of faith in Jimmy Carter’s life as captured in his memoir\, where he considers the values closest to his heart and the personal beliefs that have nurtured and sustained him throughout his entire life. In each session\, we will highlight various passages from Living Faith as a community of spiritual seekers\, with opportunities for personal reflection and group discussion. Accompanied by moments of prayer/meditation\, writing prompts\, and additional contemplative exercises\, participants will be invited to engage with the heart of President Carter’s distinct and empowering message while connecting it to their respective life journeys\, leadership roles\, and interpersonal relationships. Time will also be allotted for optional sharing about what faith and some of its most authentic expressions look like in present-day circumstances. \nTake a break from Summer’s heat and step into this opportunity for spiritual encouragement and refreshment from the life and perspective of one of our most admired Americans! You can join us from anywhere that is optimal for you as each session is being facilitated online. Reading Living Faith in advance of this book study is not required but is welcomed.
