Jamila Keita has been leading creative Mindful Outdoor Experience (MOE) sessions and deeply relaxing Yoga Nidra sessions for adults at the Well for the past year. We are excited to share that, this Fall, Jamila will be bringing families together outdoors at the Well to reconnect with nature and create a pathway to better wellness.Children experience stress, loneliness and other emotions just like adults. And, just like adults, they have to learn how to recognize and handle those emotions. A regular dose of nature walks and other outdoor activities teaches people of all ages how to remedy complex and challenging emotions without medication.
The best way to learn from nature is to be outside in nature. In this MOE, adults and children ages 5 to 12 will learn to use their mind-body-spirit to begin the process of “re-wilding” with what nature offers to us. Spending time together as a family creates a lasting experience that we build upon each time we partake at “nature’s table.”
We will engage 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.
Wear comfortable clothes to allow free movement and good shoes for walking a wooded path. Use sunscreen and insect repellent. Bring a blanket/yoga mat to sit on the ground and water to drink.
Please join us with the children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or other young people in your life. We all need to get outside and take a breath!

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 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.
