Women at the Well: Lighten Up! Choosing Joy in Challenging Times

How can we live as joyful people when we are surrounded by turmoil, conflict, heartache, pain, and life’s inevitable suffering? Even as we experience stressful times, we can choose joy and radiate it to others. Drawing from The Book of Joy by spiritual wisdom figures, the Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, and Douglas Abrams, we will take a fresh look at themes of perspective, humor, acceptance, forgiveness, and gratefulness as we choose joy in daily life.

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.

DATE: Wednesdays - 4/3, 4/10, 4/17, 4/24, 5/1, 5/8/24

TIME: 10:00 - 11:30 AM

COST: $120

LOCATION: Well for the Journey - 120 W. Seminary Ave, Lutherville-Timonium, MD 21093

FACILITATOR BIOS:

Donna Mollenkopf:
Donna is a Women at the Well facilitator, curriculum writer, and leader of some of the Well’s Mystics programs. A former Well board member, she has experience as a retreat leader, pilgrimage guide, and small group leader. Donna is the co-author of two books on spirituality and is an active member of her Lutheran church. A graduate of Shalem’s Soul of the Executive program, Donna values a contemplative stance.

Maggie Lears:
Maggie recently retired from the faculty of Towson University and is delighted to increase her time spent at Well for the Journey. She is a certified intuitive practitioner and has been involved with the Well for over a decade volunteering in several circles and facilitating workshops exploring mindfulness, meditation, intuitive eating, and the chakra energy system.

Mabeth Hudson:
Through her leadership and writing, Mabeth encourages people to listen to their inner wisdom, discover meaningful connections, grow through challenges, and better love and be loved in the nitty-gritty of everyday life. Mabeth is passionate about attending to the spiritual dimension of being human in a practical way, as it impacts all of one’s relationships. For over 20 years, she has been developing and leading programs for spiritual wellness, personal growth, and leadership development. Her workshops, classes, retreats, and writing offer accessible tools to integrate into one’s daily living.

After practicing law for several years, Mabeth entered into a discernment process to listen for how she could better serve the greater good. She was led to co-found Well for the Journey in 2002. She continues to serve as a program leader and an ex-officio member of the Board of Directors.

Mabeth also blends her legal and spiritual expertise to advocate for people to live well and love well through the end-of-life. She helps people consider what is uniquely important to them as they age and face the final stages of life on earth. She then helps document, communicate, and advocate for those desires.

Mabeth holds a J.D. from Emory University School of Law and an M.A. in Spiritual and Pastoral Care from Loyola University Maryland. She is a certified leader of Conscious Aging, a program created by the Institute of Noetic Science. She is married and has adult children.

CANCELLATION POLICY:

We recognize that sometimes plans change and you may not be able to attend a program for which you are registered. On rare occasions, the Well may also need to cancel or reschedule a program. Both situations are disappointing, but we are prepared with the following options.

If a program is cancelled by Well for the Journey, or rescheduled and you cannot make the new date, a full refund will be provided to you. For programs with pre-scheduled Inclement Weather Dates, refunds will be provided only if both the original scheduled date and the planned Weather Date are cancelled.

If you are unable to attend a program for which you are registered, you may gift your ticket to another party. Please notify the Well with your request at kristan@wellforthejourney.org and provide the name, mailing address, and email address of the person who is taking your place at the program.

If you cancel your registration 72 hours or more prior to the program start time, you may request a refund up to 50% of the program fee or request that your 50% refund be donated to the Well’s Scholarship Fund. Please contact the Well with your request at kristan@wellforthejourney.org .

Refunds are not available for cancellations when notification is received by the Well in less than 72 hours prior to the start of the program so that sufficient funds are available to cover the Well’s administrative expenses. We sincerely appreciate your consideration of the time and effort that the Well and your Facilitator put forth in bringing your program to life and thank you for your understanding of our Cancellation Policy.
