Serenbe Recap

Beautiful town -- well worth a stop if you find yourself in Atlanta.  It's only about 30 minutes from the airport.  Lives up to its name and reputation.

It was COLD, but I'm not complaining.  It's finally fall (although people in Atlanta are calling it winter LOL).

The event is all weekend and Friday's lineup was a bit of an ugly step sister day.  Only a half day of events and the volunteers were confused about everything (but super nice).  It was more of an introduction to what's coming for the weekend.  More than double the people today and tomorrow.  Also, there is a heavy focus on people who are staying at the event (of course).  That seemed to flow really well -- the day people stuff, not so much.

We found our way just fine though.  Ended up with the gift bag for the full weekend people (didn't realize that until the end), ended up parking in the vendor lot (so much easier parking) and got to spend time in the town.

Dinner was amazing.  All organic, veggie centered, delicious food.  Everything was gluten-free and dairy-free.  The staff did a great job (I should have taken pictures - dang).  Sit down meal for a few hundred people.  SIX COURSES!!

The property is incredible.  Animals, nature trails, fit pits.  We heard from the founder of Serenbe and it's an interesting story of how it came to be -- check it out online if you are interested (it's a long story).

Gaby Bernstein is a self proclaimed spiritual teacher who is can be a diva -- her words.  You can see that from her speech.  People like her style because she's "relatable" -- I might find it a bit too much if I had to be around her.  Her books don't match what you see in person.  The message is a good one though.

Here are the pictures.

Stopped at the town coffee house.

My pictures don't do it justice.  I had my phone packed away most of the time so I missed the really beautiful stuff.  I had on gloves so too lazy to dig out the phone and de-glove -- but it sounds better to say I was being "present" without my phone LOL.

Tons of errands today.  Slept in because I was out so late.  Best get at it.  Later gators.
