Blooming Memories. We were so happy to share this moment with everyone who participated in @thewell_rdu A Moment with Beauty: The Practice of Remembering through Florals. Special Thanks to @peieagrace @mbisfree @simmonslifestrategies for making the magic happen ✨🪩. Make sure you’re following @thewell_rdu to stay up to date on our upcoming connections.
theWELL would like to invite you to untangle yourself from the constant calls for your attention that daily life often commands and join us for an evening of remembering--the things that make us joyful, things we find beautiful, and the things that make us feel special--through the art of creating beautiful floral arrangements.
We'll spend the evening learning how to choose fresh stems and turn them into unique expressions of our individuality and personal taste.
We'll punctuate the night with good company, good food, good wine, good music and leave with tips and tricks on how to recreate it all at home on a whim.
Curated & facilitated by Pamela Thompson, @bypamelat of @peieagrace. Everything needed will be provided for the night. All that's missing is you! Be sure to sign up by July 6th as we've intentionally limited our participant capacity to protect our ability for maximum joy. Hope to see you there!
