TheWELL Presents: A moment with Beauty- July 13, 2023
ABOUT THIS EVENT
the WELL 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. 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!
