Art in the Garden – Creativity Retreat

Don’t you need a break? Relax, explore your artistic side, and enjoy some tasty, garden-fresh greens during this three-hour, guided creativity retreat.

Guided by Annelies Gentile, an executive integrative life and leadership coach, speaker, author and artist with a masters in coaching and a knack for poking in a good way. Her gift of presence and loving interruption gently calls you “back to center” to notice life as it is. Through inspiring retreats and conferences, conversations and insights, she wields artful tools for perspective, progress and growth to nurture and coach you through change. Annelies has lived in Raleigh since 1985 and has insights into what Raleigh was like “way-back when” and has long-time relationships with a network of fellow Raleigh artists which makes her walks deep and interesting.

This extra special experience has been taking place in the area for over 7 years at the Well Fed Community Garden, a Raleigh urban farm that’s been feeding the community since 2012. Your first two hours will include a series of mindfulness activities including a walk through the garden and some ornamental flower collecting for inspiration. This will then culminate into an insightful watercolor class which includes all art supplies and empowers you to take your time discovering your own artistic vision. The experience will then finale with a complimentary, garden-fresh meal and a celebratory art show to reflect on what you may have gleaned and what each participant chose to paint.
