ArtFarm at Serenbe

An Evening with Elizabeth Gilbert is a one-hour keynote and on-stage conversation at ArtFarm at Serenbe in Palmetto, Georgia. It suits readers of her books, creative people, and anyone drawn to talks on writing, curiosity and the inner life, who want an evening of listening and reflection with a well-known author. The event is listed under meditation, though its format is a talk rather than a guided practice.

What to Expect

The evening runs from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Elizabeth Gilbert opens with a keynote, followed by an on-stage conversation with Sheri Salata. A VIP Meet & Greet is also offered for those who want a chance to meet the author in person.

The page lists the event as a tour stop, so it is a single evening and not a multi-day retreat or workshop. There is no mention of seated meditation or movement practice, so come ready to listen and take part in the conversation as an audience member.
