St. Teresa of Avila whose name in religious was Mother Teresa of Jesus started a reform of the Carmelite Order which today is known at the Discalced Carmelites (the discalced do not wear shoes). She lived in the 16th century when all nuns were cloistered (enclosed). So, no, she did not encourage her nuns to go out anywhere.
