Awaken to the Season of Renewal: Explore Change, Forgiveness and Passion (An Online Journaling Series)
2025-03-28 13:00 - 14:30, 2025-03-14 13:00 - 14:30 (America/New_York) | ZOOM
Awaken to the Season of Renewal! The arrival of Spring encourages us to explore ways to awaken spiritually. Journaling is a simple yet powerful way to reflect on our life journey and be present with our inner self. In this three-part series, experienced Journaling Facilitator, Liz Neal, will guide participants through an engaging examination of Change, Forgiveness, and Passion, and the impact of these three dimensions on one’s personal spirituality.
Much of our spiritual growth and freedom depends on whether we give ourselves over to understanding the process of change. Forgiveness, also a process, requires us to shift our perspective and redirect our energies to access healing. Passion provides meaning in our lives and ensures a connection to ourselves and community.
Through a guided practice to include a variety of readings and prompts, participants will reflect, journal, and share as they feel led in a safe and sacred journaling community. Simple strategies will be shared and modeled to deepen your journaling practice or assist you in starting a new one! No previous writing or journaling experience is required. Come explore and deepen with Liz and fellow seekers!

Moon Cycle Spirituality: Connect with the Lunar Rhythms of Light and Dark for All Seasons of Life (3-part online series)
2025-03-26 19:00 - 20:30, 2025-03-12 19:00 - 20:30 | ZOOM
We know the moon affects us and all creation on Mother Earth, but have you ever wondered about the moon’s impact on your spirituality?
If yes, we hope you can join us for this 3-part series that invites you to align your energy with the flow of the cosmos and explore how the lunar rhythms can enrich your spiritual journey! Through connecting with the lunar cycles, you will learn to support the rhythms of your daily life as well as the seasons and cycles of your spirit by flowing with the waxing and waning of the Moon.
In our first gathering, we will explore how the Moon’s monthly cycle unfolds and how we can connect it to other seasonal rhythms (such as light and dark, summer and winter, and the seasons of our own journeys). This gathering will also include some individual reflection and group sharing to help participants begin to apply the Moon phases to their own lives.
In our second and third gatherings, we will deepen into the lunar cycle through ritual circles for the New and Full Moon. The New Moon circle will invite introspection and intention-setting based on the astrology of the moon cycle, while the Full Moon circle will emphasize speaking one’s truth and releasing what one wishes to let go. You will have the opportunity to set an intention for the month at the New Moon, watch it grow with the Moon’s light, and celebrate and affirm what has transpired at the Full Moon!
Join Kathleen Neville-Shinn, and other like-spirited seekers, to reconnect with the ancient and eternal flow of the Moon as your guide for the rhythms of life. Kathleen’s programs at the Well always sell out so please don’t delay in registering!

Yoga Nidra – Guided Meditation & Stillness (Online Program)
2025-03-25 19:30 - 20:30, 2025-03-10 19:30 - 20:30, 2025-02-25 19:30 - 20:30 | ZOOM
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.
One 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.
Resting 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:
· A quiet place to lay down or recline.
· Pillow for head and under your knees.
· Blanket for warmth.
· If desired, an eye mask or pillow to block light.
· Water to drink.
The 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.
If 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.
The sessions are being offered twice a month on a Monday and Tuesday evening. You are welcome to purchase one session at a time or choose all sessions at a discounted rate.
DATES: Mondays – 2/10 and 3/10/25 and Tuesdays – 2/25 and 3/25/25
TIME: 7:30 – 8:30 PM ET

FACILITATOR: Jamila Keita
FACILITATOR BIO:
Hi! 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.
During 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).
I 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.
I never imagined this second career as it is, but it seems like a natural evolution to me. I hope you enjoy my offerings.

Ancient Myths & Their Wisdom for Contemporary Spiritual Seekers (Online Series)
2025-03-25 13:00 - 15:00, 2025-02-25 13:00 - 15:00 | ZOOM
“A myth… is a metaphor for a mystery beyond human comprehension. It is a comparison that helps us understand, by analogy, some aspect of our mysterious selves. A myth, in this way of thinking, is not an untruth but a way of reaching a profound truth.” ~ Christopher Vogler
The word myth is saturated with numerous, sometimes negative connotations in contemporary times. Often, it is associated with being an untruth or a fabricated statement. Yet, this recent usage of the word ignores the rich, timeless value for which myths were originally conceived. Join us for this multi-part series that will explore some of the world’s prominent mythologies in their original light and the deep spiritual wisdom cradled within them. Excerpts of myths will be gathered from the Egyptian, Greek, Chinese, Celtic and Native American traditions amongst other cultures. Additional sources will include Michael Meade’s Awakening the Soul and his long-running podcast series, Living Myth.
Within each session, there will be abundant opportunities to creatively experience these myths and connect with the parallels they offer to contemporary spiritual seekers and their personal journeys. Centralizing themes from each of the featured mythologies will be highlighted in each session of the series. While pertinent information related to respective myths will be provided, also woven throughout each session will be time for contemplative silence and meditation, journaling, personal reflection, and group discussion. Participants will emerge from the series with a timely and deepened awareness about the gifts and relevance of myths and the healing role they can serve in cultivating understanding and peace in our world today.
Mythological journeys will unfold along the following schedule as we journey with diversely different cultures and traditions from around the world:
· January 28th – Egyptian Mythology
· February 25th – Greek Mythology
· March 25th – Chinese Mythology
· April 29th (5th Tuesday) – Celtic Mythology
· May 27th – Native American Mythologies
Please Note: Attendance is encouraged in each session of this series, however, interested participants can register for one, a few, or all programs depending on personal preference and availability.
DATE: Tuesdays – 1/28, 2/25, 3/25, 4/29, and 5/27/25
TIME: 1:00 – 3:00 PM ET

Seven Sacred Pauses for Life's Daily Pilgrimage (Online Program Meeting Monthly)
2025-03-20 14:00 - 15:30, 2025-02-20 14:00 - 15:30 | ZOOM
“All it takes is a simple, sacred pause to get us in touch with the One who keeps vigil with us – the holy presence of so many names. Only you can name that which waits for you.” – Macrina Wiederkehr
No matter what spiritual path we follow, we are all pilgrims together on each day’s journey. The details of our daily pilgrimage differ one from another, but we all hope for a good day as we awake and move through the day with whatever joys and challenges await us. In her classic book, Seven Sacred Pauses – Living Mindfully Through the Hours of the Day, Macrina Wiederkehr invites us to embrace the rich tradition of consciously pausing at seven sacred moments of each day so that our daily passage through time is more of a sacred pilgrimage than one long To Do List. She encourages us to stay awake through the day, “Each morning as I look out my window, I want to be awake enough to say, today I will remember to pause.”
You are invited to journey through the hours with spiritual companion and retreat leader, Lorie Conway, as we explore ways to practice pausing that recognize the busyness, clutter, noise, and chaos that are rampant in our culture, while gently encouraging us to be creators of our present moment. Each month will explore a different hour of the day and engage with contemplative spiritual practices that may be well suited for that time. We will use Wiederkehr’s book as a guide to the hours as we engage poetry, music, reflections, and sacred text from an array of spiritual teachers and traditions. Please note, it is not necessary to read the book as it is only one of many resources that will be utilized.
Our monthly topics include:
· September 26th – Introduction to Sacred Pausing
· October 24th – The Awakening Hour – Dawn
· November 21st – The Blessing Hour – Midmorning
· December 12th – The Hour of Illumination – Midday
· January 23rd – The Wisdom Hour – Midafternoon
· February 20th – The Twilight Hour – Evening
· March 20th – The Great Silence – Night
· April 24th – The Night Watch – Midnight Until Dawn
You are welcome to join us for one, many, or all of the 8 monthly sessions. Lorie encourages you to join the first one, if possible, as it lays the groundwork for subsequent months. If you are unable to join the first one, no worries! A handout will be provided to give you foundational information.
DATES: Thursdays – 9/26, 10/24, 11/21, 12/12/24, and 1/23, 2/20, 3/20, 4/24/25

Group Spiritual Direction 2024-2025 with Cathy Rosensteel (In-Person & Online)
2025-03-08 08:30 - 11:00 | Well for the Journey (Note: Lutherville address), 120 W. Seminary Avenue, Lutherville-Timonium, MD, 21093, United States
Group Spiritual Direction is a process in which people gather together on a regular basis to assist one another in an ongoing awareness of God (Spirit, Source, Creator, whatever your name is) in all of life. Participants in the group are seeking support for their responsiveness to God and they agree to support others in that same responsiveness. This contemplative approach to spiritual direction is grounded in the model that originated at the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation in Washington, DC. .
Joining the group is a deep commitment to one’s spiritual journey and to the other participants in the group. Three conditions are essential to the life of the group. Members must agree to:
· Commit themselves to an honest relationship with God, by whatever name called.
· Participate wholeheartedly in the group process through consistent attendance and prayerful listening and response.
· Open their spiritual journeys for consideration by others.
The group is limited to five participants and is facilitated by Cathy Rosensteel. The group will meet both in-person at the Well and on Zoom as noted below.
Cathy’s group has space for one new person this year. If you are feeling urged to give Group Spiritual Direction a try, please call the Well at 410-296-9355. We will connect you with Cathy so that you can discuss your interest with her.

Deconstructing Your Faith, Re-envisioning Your Spirituality (Online Program)
2025-03-06 18:30 - 20:00, 2025-02-27 18:30 - 20:00, 2025-02-20 18:30 - 20:00, 2025-02-13 18:30 - 20:00 | ZOOM
Do you ever wonder about the image of God you are carrying?… Have you reached a place in your human journey where you are questioning the faith tradition that you have been a part of and its relevance to your spiritual journey?… Has the faith community/tradition you made a home in brought wounding, confusion, or despair to you in navigating the transitions and thresholds of your life?…
If the answer that arises within you as you ponder these questions is ‘yes,’ please know that you are not alone. Current statistics reveal to us that in the United States the number of individuals who are affiliated with a particular faith tradition and/or denomination continue to decrease. Many people are questioning the role of religion in their lives and decidedly searching for alternatives to a worship community and complicated doctrines.
In this sacred pursuit, more and more questions abound as humanity struggles to listen more deeply to God’s authentic voice in their everyday lives. In this listening, many are discovering a divine invitation to pause and reconsider the meaning underlying this reality. Perhaps, a way to move forward is to explore the possibility of deconstructing the faith we carry while re-envisioning the purpose and possibilities of what it is to live from our deeper spiritual identity.
Join Well for the Journey’s own Greg Cochran and Gordon Creamer for this online series, where we will explore the pressing questions in our hearts around this wrestling with what it means to practice the faith we carry – or were taught to carry, while welcoming a deep, unfed spiritual hunger. At this critical juncture in our personal and collective histories, intentionally spending time in this way is not only an act of great self-compassion and care, it can also become an embodied expression of healing for others whom we are connected to in the world. While in the presence of sacred and safe community, each session will invite participants to engage in a period of contemplative silence around an excerpt from various wisdom writings, such as bell hooks, Richard Rohr, Barbara Brown Taylor, and Brian McLaren among others. Also included will be opportunities for personal reflection, journaling, small and large group discussions, and other creative spiritual exercises.
Below offers a glimpse of what the emphasis will be for each of the sessions in this series:
Session 1 – Creating a Sacred Space to Deconstruct
Session 2 – Querying the Purpose of Religion
Session 3 – The Spiritual Nature of Being Human and Becoming
Session 4 – Coming Home to Yourself
Session 5 – Energizing Personal & Community Spiritual Practices
Session 6 – Living Meaningfully in Spirit
DATE: Thursdays, 1/30, 2/6, 2/13, 2/20, 2/27, 3/6/2025
TIME: 6:30 – 8:00 PM ET
COST: Registration cost for this program has three options – $200, $175, or $150. The Well is delighted to be able to offer this opportunity to you. Please select the ticket option that meets your financial abilities/needs at this time. Thank you!

The Stuff of Stars: A Praying in Color Meditation (Online Program)
2025-03-05 19:00 - 20:30 | ZOOM
“We are stars wrapped in skin. The light you are seeking has always been within.” – Rumi
Every year on a designated Wednesday in late winter, many in the Western Christian tradition are accustomed to hearing the words, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” These words are accompanied by the placement of ashes on one’s forehead as a reminder of our mortality as the season of Lent and preparation for Easter begin.
Science has now proven what our native ancestors and wise philosophers have always known – we are not just any old dust; we are the dust of stars. Nearly all the elements that comprise our bodies, and all of creation, are from stars in the far reaches of the universe. We are indeed all connected. We are all one.
This Ash Wednesday, you are invited to join us in a contemplative meditation as we ponder the Divine Mystery of our oneness with the stars, one another, and all of creation. We will engage with prose and poetry and then spend unhurried time in reflection and response using the spiritual practice of Praying in Color. There will also be an opportunity to share our reflections with one another in sacred community as we feel led.
Praying in Color is simply doodling with color as a way of helping to focus our wandering minds and capture insights and invitations during prayer or mindfulness meditation. No prior experience or artistic skills are required! All you need is white paper and colorful writing utensils such as colored pencils, markers, crayons, or pens. Lorie will guide every step of this simple and meaningful spiritual practice.

Winter Zentangle (Online Program)
2025-03-02 15:00 - 17:00, 2025-02-26 10:00 - 12:00, 2025-02-18 18:30 - 20:30 | ZOOM
We are thrilled to welcome Becky Boynton back to the Well this Winter as she returns for another offering of Zentangle®! Becky, a Certified Zentangle Teacher, is excited to guide others in learning this step-by-step method that can expand your sense of being creative and positively contribute to your overall experience of well-being. You are invited and encouraged to participate in this upcoming program whether you have never “tangled” before or if you have prior experience with Zentangle.
The Zentangle® Method is a simple, relaxing, fun way to create beautiful abstract designs by drawing structured patterns. Participants only need paper, pencil, a black fine line pen and some Q-Tips or other blending tool. No previous skills or experience are needed; just a willingness to put pen to paper.
While the process may look intricate, it is a deceptively simple pathway to improve your well-being. In addition to verbal instructions, you will receive handouts before class that will assist you in following Becky’s live video demonstrations.
The benefits of Zentangle are numerous and include increased confidence, relaxation, and inspiration. This practice also enhances focus, heightens mindfulness, and fosters a deeper sense of meaningfulness on a spiritual level. Beginners are often quite surprised and pleased at what they create. “Anything is possible one stroke at a time.” That is the Zentangle tag line.
While the final drawing in each of the three classes will be quite different, Becky will use the Zentangle method and patterns for all of the work. The paper/tile shape will be rectangular for class one, square for class two, and round for class three.
Each of the sessions can stand alone, so participation in all three is not necessary. Additionally, the sessions will be recorded. If you register and are unable to attend the live class, you can follow along on the video recording that will be sent to all who register.
DATES & TIMES:
· Tuesday, February 18 • 6:30-8:30 PM ET
· Wednesday, February 26 • 10:00 AM-Noon ET

FACILITATOR: Becky Boynton
FACILITATOR BIO:
Becky Boynton taught elementary school for 27 years in Virginia and Maryland, in both public and private schools. Most recently she served as the Service-Learning Coordinator at the Friends School of Baltimore. A longtime volunteer at a food pantry and financial assistance center in Baltimore, she now volunteers teaching Zentangle® on Zoom. She was first introduced to Zentangle in 2012 and has been tangling ever since. In 2018 she became a CZT (Certified Zentangle Teacher) by attending the four-day training program in Providence, RI. She has been teaching Zentangle® since 2018.
Before Zentangle® she considered herself a crafter, not an artist. Zentangle® has changed that. This step-by-step method is easy to learn, relaxing and a fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. It increases focus and creativity. She enjoys bringing this technique to those who do not see themselves as capable of creating art. She is now a firm believer that, as the creators of Zentangle® say, “Anything is possible, one stroke at a time. ™”
Becky returns to The Well having taught in person and Zoom Zentangle classes for us since 2020.

FREE Information Session - The Body Holds, The Body Heals: Restoring Balance, Releasing Stress, Creating Calming Practices
2025-02-27 19:00 - 19:30 | ZOOM
Are you going through your day feeling overly sensitive, too reactive, or easily triggered? Or do you feel numb most days, simply going through the motions? By the time we are adults, most of us are walking warriors, holding stress and trauma in our bodies as we’ve had to survive and simply soldier on. In the short run, our bodies may be able to do this, holding it together to get through. However, over time, we cannot keep up this pace. Our bodies become overwhelmed as they hold our stressed experiences. They develop pain, fatigue, injury, or disease, as they can no longer repress all they have held over time.
If you are curious about somatic (body-focused) practices and rituals, and want to learn a little more, please join certified Somatic Experience Practitioner, Emily Kearns, for a FREE Information Session on Zoom. Emily will share a little about how the body holds and the power of the body to be a healing resource, as well as what you can expect in her upcoming mini-retreats at the Well. You will also have an opportunity to ask questions.
There is no obligation to attend a retreat if you attend the Information Session. Give your body the gift of this half-hour to listen and learn, and let your Curiosity be your Guide!
The Information Session is free and will be recorded. Please register so that we can send you the Zoom link. If you are unable to attend the information session, we will be happy to send you the recording.

Unscripted Awakening: The Art of Embracing New Experiences with Joy (Online Program)
2025-02-19 18:30 - 20:30 | ZOOM
Could you use a little more joy in the midst of this cold winter and challenging time in our country? Join Certified Humor Professional, Mary Jo Neil, for this delightful and encouraging pop-up program!
We are creatures of habits – having many routines in our lives which help provide stability and efficiency. While these routines serve us well, they can also inhibit us from exploring new opportunities, growing and being curious. Step into a transformative evening of self-discovery where you notice and calm your fears, build confidence, and deepen your spiritual path using applied improvisation, humor and visual creation. Through playful exercises, lighthearted interactions and guided creative practices, you’ll learn to be more curious and mindful.
No artistic or improvisation experience is necessary – just bring an open mind and a desire to connect with your inner child. By the end of the session, you will leave with practical tools to embrace uncertainty, channel your creative energy into your spiritual practice and cultivate a joy-filled connection with yourself and others.

Women at the Well - Radical Love: Exploring the Missing & Mystical Wisdom of Mary Magdalene (6-Part, Online Series)
2025-02-19 10:00 - 11:30, 2025-02-12 10:00 - 11:30 | ZOOM
Lost for more than 1500 years, The Gospel of Mary is the only gospel written in the name of a woman, and it reveals a radical love different from the understanding of Christianity that many know. We will explore the mystery, misunderstandings, and mysticism of Mary Magdalene to discover essential spiritual wisdom that can transform us and our world.
Our weekly themes will include a fresh look at the mystery of Mary Magdalene, claiming our authentic power, recognizing the inherent goodness within every person, listening to our inner wisdom, seeing a new vision in the darkness, and living with a radical, transformative love for others and ourselves. We’ll draw from the contemporary writings of Meggan Watterson, Cynthia Bourgeault, and Karen King.
Women at the Well is a spiritual companioning program open to all women seeking space to listen for, become more aware of, and respond to the Divine in their daily lives. This small group program includes time for reflection and sacred conversation in the community of other women on the journey.
Two sessions of this program will be offered – one In-Person at the Well and one Online. This registration is for the Online session.

Spiritual Autobiography: Exploring the Story of Your Life Through Writing (Online Program)
2025-02-17 18:30 - 20:30 | ZOOM
A testimonial about this program from last year…
“Amy is an excellent facilitator! I was amazed at all of the insights that surfaced during this writing process. The opportunity to both share and receive each other’s stories was very special. I would highly recommend this program to anyone wanting to deepen their spirituality and self-awareness while connecting with others.” – Jean Anne Walsh
Irish poet Pádraig Ó Tuama affirms that we are all “story full and lovely.” Indeed, these stories are how we remember and share the journey of our lives, both collectively and individually.
Through six sessions together-and reflective time between sessions-participants will respond through writing (and other creative modes) to gentle prompts that can help us to write the stories of our individual spiritual journeys. We all live this spiritual journey every day, whether or not we are grounded in a specific religious tradition. Indeed, most wisdom traditions affirm that we live this spiritual-or inward-journey in the daily moments that we need to take time to notice. By writing with and for other attentive writers, we will honor the things that make us human together and share, as Ó Tuama invites “the things that do not fade: generosity, truth-telling, silence, respect, and love.”
Our times together will be for listening to one another’s stories. We gather not to offer feedback or critique (as you might find in a traditional writing workshop) or to teach one another how to write a spiritual autobiography. We gather to receive the gifts that flow through each other’s generous sharing of our lives, and to open ourselves to our own story.
We are thrilled to welcome back Amy Schmaljohn for another session of this meaningful and inspiring program. Join Amy and others to remember, write, and share the journey that is uniquely your own. No previous writing experience is required!
