Spoken word artist Maleek Hicks (a.k.a. “Elevation”) brings a bit of Atlanta's underground poetry scene to the Blue-Eyed Daisy.  Drawing inspiration from jazz, soul and hip-hop vibes, Maleek weaves structured and freestyle spoken word together to “Elevate” us with his spiritual and unpredictable expressions of the soul.

On August 5, Serenbe hosted a gala dinner before the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Concert at Hutcheson Ferry Park, benefitting the Chattahoochee Hill Country Conservancy.

4th of July Event

Serenbe residents lined the streets of the Selborne community for a July 4th celebration

 




Camp Serenbe

The first ever Camp Serenbe was held in late July—campers spent a week exploring the Serenbe Farms, learning about how to plant, nurture and harvest fresh fruits and vegetables, and simply appreciating the land.
