SUMMARY:Horizons Men's Group 2025-2026 (In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:Most men do not feel they can talk freely about their spiritual journey. At Well For The Journey\, we feel differently. The Horizons Men’s Group at the Well 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. \nGreg Cochran\, Executive Director at the Well\, has been facilitating Horizons for over ten years. Past discussions have explored a wide range of topics including the deconstruction and reconstruction of faith\, navigating the first and second halves of life\, spirituality and imperfection\, why do bad things happen to good people\, what is Truth\, and what can we learn from other faith traditions – just to name a few! \nThis season\, the wisdom of Parker Palmer will inform our conversation through two of his books: \nA Hidden Wholeness: The Journey Toward an Undivided Life – explores the concept of living an “undivided life”—where one’s inner truth aligns with their outer actions and roles. \nLet Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation – explores what it means to find one’s true calling by deeply listening to one’s inner self and aligning with one’s authentic nature\, emphasizing that vocation isn’t a specific job title\, but rather a way of living authentically and embracing our unique gifts and limitations. \nDue to high interest\, we are pleased to offer two monthly groups this year – both graciously led by Greg! The Tuesday evening group will meet in-person at the Well and the Thursday evening group will meet online via Zoom. \nIf you are looking for a community where difficult questions are welcomed and explored from the unique perspective of male spirituality\, we have a place for you in Horizons. \nThis registration is for the in-person session on Tuesday evenings. \nDATES: Tuesdays – 10/14\, 11/18\, 12/16/25\, and 1/20\, 2/17\, 3/17\, 4/21\, 5/19\, and 6/9/26 \nTIME: 7:00 – 8:30 PM \nCOST: $200 \nLOCATION: Well for the Journey – 120 W. Seminary Ave\, Lutherville-Timonium\, MD 21093 \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.

SUMMARY:Who Do I Say I Am? - Giving Voice to Our Sacred Story (In-Person Program)
DESCRIPTION:I would like to express my deep gratitude to Rev. Sandra. The experience was both insightful and deeply moving.  Listening to each woman share her journey and perspective reminded me of the power that comes from showing up with authenticity and courage. The honesty\, care\, and openness that filled the space created a truly meaningful sense of belonging and connection. It was a gift to witness and be part of such a compassionate and passionate community. I left feeling inspired\, grounded\, and more committed to honoring my own story while making room for the stories of others. – Laura Lindamore \nGreat opportunity for a multicultural spiritual experience that was a beautiful way for soul sisters to connect\, commune and share our stories. – Bev Gorman \nRev. Sandra was a great facilitator and so at ease\, compassionate\, loving\, and Present. Her demeanor set the tone for our time together and for all of us. I’m glad I decided to say “yes” to this workshop! – Freda Marie Brown \n**************************************************************************************************************** \nWhen we reject the single story\, when we realize that there is never a single story…we regain a kind of paradise. – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie \nWe are thrilled to welcome back Rev. Sandra Dorsainvil for an expanded version of her popular retreat—Who Do I Say I Am? Sandra first offered this retreat at the Well as a half-day experience that left participants feeling inspired\, grounded\, and yearning for more. \nOur lives are not linear\, and the world is often too quick to dictate or impose its own lenses on the personal stories we carry. Yet the power of a person’s voice is theirs alone\, and our hearts are privileged to receive their testimonies. We are more than a name\, title\, or circumstance. In this day-long retreat\, we will explore how to choose a story to share that honors our identity\, and how to listen intentionally—without judgement— to the stories of others. \nJesus asked Peter\, “Who do you say that I am?” We are invited into that same sacred question. Let us dare to answer it as we affirm our voice\, our identity\, and our need to belong. \nSandra will gently invite participants to engage in a variety of contemplative practices\, including journaling\, meditative reflection\, creative art\, quiet sitting\, prayer walking\, and group conversation alongside the sanctity of telling and receiving personal\, single stories. As the day unfolds\, participants will be encouraged to courageously express their own voice in answering the question “Who do I say I am?” within a safe and sacred community. \nHow one chooses to share their chosen story is up to them. It may take the form of poetry\, prose\, drawing\, painting\, dance\, or even silent mime. As God’s beloved\, how we receive what is before us is its own testimony. \nIt is up to us to honor our story and share it as we wish it to be remembered. You are warmly welcomed to join Sandra and fellow seekers for this meaningful day of reflection\, creativity\, and connection—a journey of listening\, belonging\, and owning who you are. Please bring a bag lunch. Snacks and drinks will be provided. \nDATE: Saturday\, May 30\, 2026 \nTIME: 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM \nCOST: $70 \nREGISTRATION for this program is required and will close on 5/21/26. Please register early for planning purposes. Thank you! REGISTER 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.
