Care for the Caregiver Retreat 2025
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! At 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. Our 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: · Chair Massage with licensed massage professionals, Verna Queen and Scott Kover. · Guided Meditation with Yoga Nidra instructor, Jamila Keita. · Spiritual Direction/Companioning mini sessions - a wonderful opportunity to explore spiritual direction. · A sampling of contemplative practices to try if you wish, including time outdoors on our meditation path, lovely grounds, and inviting screen porch. · Time to relax and enjoy a brief respite and supportive connection with others. · Light refreshments to nourish your body. The 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. Please 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! "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
