A BETTER WAY TO LIVE

Twenty Years of Building: Reflecting on Serenbe’s Journey

W

hen I first walked this land in the late 1990s, I saw more than just acres of untouched Georgia forest—I saw an opportunity to create something truly transformative. Today, as Serenbe celebrates its 20th anniversary, I’m filled with profound gratitude as I reflect on our journey from an ambitious vision to a thriving community that has redefined sustainable development.

Our story began with a simple morning jog that led to an awakening. Fearful of the threat of developers planning to build conventional subdivisions near our family farm, I realized we needed to take action to preserve the natural beauty of the Chattahoochee Hill Country. This catalyst moment sparked a mission that would eventually become Serenbe.

The Early Years: Setting the Foundation In 2005, the first residents moved into our initial hamlet, Selborne, developed with a focus on the arts. I remember the skepticism we faced—many thought we were dreamers trying to build an impossible utopia. But we held firm to our principles: preservation of nature, sustainable building practices, and fostering genuine community connections. Those early decisions proved crucial. By preserving 70% of our land as green space, creating edible landscapes, and establishing our second Hamlet, Grange, with our organic farm, we laid the groundwork for a sustainable community development model now widely-recognized for groundbreaking biophilic principles.

Milestones That Shaped Our Community Each phase of Serenbe’s development has added unique character to our community. Our farm-to-table restaurants, beginning with The Farmhouse, showed that local, sustainable dining could be both nourishing and community-building. Creating an arts organization with an innovative funding mechanism transformed us into a cultural destination. Mado, our wellness hamlet, broke ground in 2014, demonstrating our commitment to holistic living. We proved that luxury and sustainability could coexist beautifully when introducing diverse housing options, including smaller-footprint homes and multi-family units.

Innovation in Community Design Our most significant achievement has been proving that development and environmental preservation aren’t mutually exclusive. Our wastewater treatment system, geothermal homes and

2

businesses, and advanced building standards have set new benchmarks in sustainable development. From building the smallest-ever Silver LEED-certified building to being recognized as an EarthCraft Community, all of our EarthCraft-certified homes show that green building is both beautiful and practical.

Our community plan, which connects homes to nature and each other, has become a blueprint for other developments worldwide. The integration of agriculture throughout our community—from our 25-acre organic farm to edible landscaping—has shown how food systems can be woven into residential development, and we have led the agrihood movement.

What truly sets Serenbe apart is how our physical placemaking and design foster human connection. Our walkable streets, front porches, and shared green spaces have created countless opportunities for neighbors to become friends. Our weekly farmers’ markets, outdoor performances, and community events have become the heartbeat of Serenbe life.

SPRING/SUMMER 2025

Looking Forward As we celebrate 20 years, I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished, but I’m even more excited about our future. Our latest developments continue to push boundaries in sustainable living. We’re exploring new housing solutions, expanding our educational initiatives, and finding innovative ways to strengthen our community bonds.

The success of Serenbe has proven that people crave connection—to nature, their food source, and each other. We’ve shown that development can enhance the environment rather than destroy it. As we look to the next 20 years, we remain committed to our founding principles while embracing new opportunities to evolve and grow.

Serenbe’s impact extends far beyond our 2,000 acres. We’ve inspired communities across the globe to rethink development patterns and community design. Our success has shown that sustainable, community-focused development isn’t just possible—it’s profitable and deeply fulfilling.

As I walk these streets today, watching children play on our trails, neighbors chatting on front porches, and residents gathering fresh vegetables from our farm, I’m reminded that Serenbe is more than just a development—it’s a living, breathing example of how we can build a better future.

Here’s to 20 years of growing, learning, and proving that extraordinary things are possible when we build in harmony with nature and each other.

A TOAST TO TWENTY

Serenbe’s Culinary Scene Sets the Table for Community

D

id you know what is now the cute bathroom of The Farmhouse at Serenbe was once Garnie Nygren’s bedroom? Or that the charming dining room was once the Nygren’s personal dining room? Or that the glass porch dining area was a screened porch with two facing swing beds for afternoon reading and naps? The garden outside that began as the family’s kitchen garden when the Nygren’s first moved to The Farmhouse which is still thriving today and is now a farm to table garden supporting the restaurant.

Many guests and awards later, the intimacy can still be felt today.

One of the biggest contributors to the welcoming feelings is the setting. The setting of the table, but also the setting of the environment. Back when The Inn and Farmhouse was a private home and small bed and breakfast, Steve Nygren and his daughter Garnie were on a trail run when they noticed a bulldozer taking down trees on neighboring land. Back in 2000, they couldn’t have known this would kick off a journey to form a city while also protecting thousands more acres around them.

Within months, the Nygrens went from 300 acres to owning over 900 with a seed of a vision to prevent what they feared was inevitable urban sprawl. The first steps to building the community of Serenbe were born. Fast forward to the first residents moving in 2005, and the first culinary venture and community gathering spot The Blue Eyed Daisy, opening in the center of the first hamlet, Selborne.

As Serenbe celebrates its 20th anniversary, this evolution tells a story of how gathering together has been fundamental to building and strengthening the bonds of a unique biophilic community. Sharing meals creates connections that transform strangers into neighbors, and neighbors into community. Located in the middle of the woods,The Blue Eyed Daisy was not only a meeting place for guests and residents - it set the tone for the biophilic principles of Serenbe by being the smallest Silver LEED-certified building in the United States.

The Farmhouse at Serenbe soon followed, elevating the community’s dining scene with its farm-to-table philosophy. Drawing from the garden and Serenbe’s own organic farm, The Farmhouse didn’t just serve meals; it told the story of the land itself through each carefully crafted dish. The restaurant quickly gained recognition beyond South Atlanta, attracting visitors who came for the food but left understanding the deeper connection between land, community, and table.

Why only stay for a day? The Inn at Serenbe, growing from a B&B to a large inn and now luxury retreat offers welcoming porches and gracious grounds, further expanding the hospitality vision. More than just a place to stay, it has become a destination where visitors could fully immerse themselves in the Serenbe way of life. The Inn’s reputation for hosting memorable events, from intimate family gatherings to grand celebrations and weddings, has made it central to creating lasting memories for both residents and guests.

The Hill opened in 2007 and brought another dimension to Serenbe’s culinary landscape, offering a casual yet refined dining experience that captures the essence of modern Southern cuisine. Its success demonstrated the community’s growing sophistication while maintaining the warmth and accessibility that defined Serenbe’s early days.

In 2018, Halsa was introduced with a fresh perspective on wellness-focused dining, perfectly aligning with Serenbe’s commitment to holistic living. Its menu proves that healthy eating can be both delicious and communal, bringing together those seeking both nourishment and connection. Open mic and trivia nights are enjoyed by residents and visitors filling the space with joy and laughter.

Now, as Serenbe marks 20 years since its first residents moved in, Austin’s Cocktailery & Kitchen has joined as the newest culinary addition. It pays tribute to Nygren family friend and Atlanta icon Father Austin Ford, whose passions for civil rights, music, art, literature, gardening, and fine spirits inspired a space that transcends the ordinary dining experience.The establishment’s 1920s-inspired ambience, reminiscent of Paris and London’s most sophisticated cocktail lounges, creates an atmosphere where conversation flows as freely as the expertly curated drinks and dinner menu.

Cedar, Austin’s beverage director, has created a special anniversary cocktail that captures where Serenbe starts, by saving the land.The Serenbe Soil is a rich amber colored cocktail that starts with Añejo tequila and the smokiness of mezcal; the bittersweet flavors of Averna and Grand Poppy are added and it’s finished with elderflower and grapefruit bitters. It’s served in a vintage glass coup with a lime twist and will be available throughout the year.

This carefully curated collection of dining establishments reflects more than just culinary excellence; it represents a unique sense of community. From morning coffee at The Blue Eyed Daisy to elegant evenings at Austin’s, each venue creates opportunities for the meaningful connections that transform a collection of homes into a true community.

As Serenbe celebrates two decades of growth and connection, its dining scene stands as a testament to the power of hospitality in building community. Over the years more culinary destinations have joined these established restaurants. Bamboo Juices offers organic cold pressed juices and smoothies and Serenbe now has five “coffee shop” options that include Minro, Birdhouse and Radical Dough which also offers bagels, pizza and takeaway lunch and dinners. Nigel’s frozen bananas opened its third location at Serenbe and Soberish has its second location offering a counterpoint to The Wine Shop plus the General Store is the go-to for everyday staples, more coffee and daily sandwich specials.

What began as a weekend getaway has flourished into a vision for sustainable living and a vibrant collection of gathering places where every meal shared strengthens the bonds between neighbors and welcomes newcomers into the fold.

Looking ahead, Serenbe’s culinary future seems as bright as its past is rich. Each restaurant continues to innovate while honoring the core values that have made this community special: connection to the land, commitment to sustainability, and the understanding that the most meaningful conversations often happen around a shared table.

A YEAR OF ARTISTRY T

Art Farm Events

he Art Farm at Serenbe’s commitment to artistic excellence continues to flourish in 2025 with a diverse lineup that celebrates music, dance, film, theatre, performances, and immersive workshops. From the soulful bluegrass harmonies of Sister Sadie to the innovative choreography of Terminus Modern Ballet Theatre, this year’s programming demonstrates their dedication to bringing world-class entertainment and education to the natural setting at Serenbe.

“We’re particularly excited about the breadth of artistic expression in this year’s schedule,” says Madalyn Mentor, Art Farm Executive Director. “Each performance and learning opportunity has been carefully selected to complement Serenbe’s unique environment while bringing fresh perspectives to our community.The way these artists interact with our space creates something entirely unique to Serenbe.”

The year launched with the Grammy-nominated group Sister Sadie for a night of bluegrass music enjoyed lakeside at The Inn Pavillion. The Black Art Project film screening followed in February, creating a rich tapestry of artistic expression to open the season. Art Farm’s first installation of their established series Movies that Made Me will focus on William Hunter Morris’ work and present the opportunity to hear from a professional in the film industry.

March brings “The Wash,” a powerful premiere co-presented by Impact Theatre Atlanta and Synchronicity Theatre, where playwright Kelundra Smith illuminates the remarkable story of the 1881 Atlanta Washerwomen’s strike. The two-week run will transport you into 1880s Atlanta, showcasing how these brave women sparked a labor movement that spread across Georgia, demonstrating the powerful connection between education, fair wages, and dignity through a story that remains startlingly relevant today.

Spring comes alive with an exciting lineup of events. Enjoy the soulful sounds of jazz duo April and Randall, followed by a family-friendly movie screening under the stars in the wildflower meadow. Get hands-on in “Mold-Making for All,” a workshop led by resident ceramic artist Rachel Garceau. Experience the artistry of Terminus Modern Ballet Theatre’s Spring

showcase presented outdoors on the wildflower meadow stage., and be inspired by a captivating spoken word performance from Sarah Kay. This Summer, Art Farm is partnering with Dad’s Garage, offering young performers a chance to develop their theatrical skills. The season continues with thought-provoking film screenings including a collaboration with Soul Barn in June followed by “Common Ground” in September, each selected to spark meaningful dialogue.

The fall calendar promises to be equally compelling, with soul artist Rhonda Thomas bringing her distinctive voice to the venue in September. As well as a Fall theatre production and the annual Art Farm Soiree.

November brings new dimensions to Serenbe’s artistic landscape with the Blacklist Residency program, providing space and support for emerging artists to develop their craft. The month culminates in a groundbreaking opera event, marking Art Farm’s first venture into classical vocal performance. “This opera production will showcase how traditional art forms can be reimagined in unconventional spaces” says Mentor.

The year concludes with Terminus Modern Ballet Theatre’s “The Nutcracker Suite” in December, reimagining the holiday classic within Serenbe’s enchanting winter landscape. This innovative interpretation will run for two weekends, offering multiple opportunities for audiences to experience this seasonal favorite in a wholly unique way.

“This programming reflects our mission to create transformative artistic experiences and educational opportunities,” says Mentor. “Whether it’s through workshops, performances, or film, each event has been chosen to resonate with both our community and our natural setting.

We’re not just presenting art – we’re fostering creativity and creating memories that will last a lifetime.”

Art Farm at Serenbe will add additional programming throughout the season. For workshop registration and event tickets, visit artfarmatserenbe.org/events.

START LOCAL

Building A New Agrarian Movement

S

upporting local organic agriculture–buying from farmers’ markets, joining a CSA Farm Share program, eating seasonally, and advocating for local farmers – has major benefits for the planet as well as ensuring healthier, tastier options for you and your family. Local organic or regenerative agriculture reduces carbon emissions from transportation, promotes biodiversity, and limits food waste. From an economic perspective, local agriculture strengthens communities by supporting farmers, creating jobs, and preserving farmland.

When the City of Chattahoochee Hills was officially established in 2007, sustainable development as well as environmental and agricultural conservation were embedded in the city’s vision. The city’s Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program helps ensure these things happen by letting landowners sell their development rights, transferring them to another landowner or developer to build densely while converting farmland. In other words, instead of building on valuable farmland, growth gets directed to areas better suited for it. In an ideal world, this means that local farms can keep doing what they do best—growing food and supporting the community—without the pressure of urban sprawl. However, in recent years, a sharp rise in the cost of land has made ownership extremely difficult for the new generation of farmers.

Luckily, a number of efforts to preserve and enrich local food production are underway.

The Conservation Fund’s Working Farms Fund, established in 2021, identifies and protects threatened farmland throughout the country and has expanded to include three new farms in Chattahoochee Hills, permanently protecting over 200 acres as a result. The former site of Many Fold Farm is now home to Smyly Farms, a regenerative pastured poultry farm, Blue Heron Urban Farms and Sanctuary farm, whose mission is to cultivate a diverse range of crops while simultaneously preserving and enhancing the natural environment.This is also the site of Rodale’s Southeast Organic Center which provides invaluable research for Southeast farmers. Additionally, the Conservation Fund has purchased the former Barnes property on Hutchenson Ferry Road, which is now home to Deer Creek Farm, a family owned organic blueberry and vegetable farm.

The Chattahoochee Hill Country Conservancy, originally established in 2002 to

manage the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program, has been revitalized in recent years as an organizing force for protecting and activating the natural and cultural resources of Chattahoochee Hills. Crucially, the conservancy is also focused on promoting sustainable land management and agricultural practices, as well as developing a robust, sustainable food system that provides equitable access to all community members.

In 2024, the Chattahoochee Hill Country Conservancy commissioned a comprehensive food system analysis and plan for Chattahoochee Hills. Authored by Lily Baucom, board member for the Chattahoochee Hill Country Conservancy and Executive Director of the Georgia Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture, the analysis emphasized the rich agricultural tradition of the area, as well as five key areas for improvement moving forward: enhancing access to nutritious food, better use of available land to increase local food production, incorporating food access into emergency preparedness, building infrastructure for food distribution, and bringing diverse stakeholders to the table.

By prioritizing sustainable agriculture and conservation, Chattahoochee Hills is taking meaningful steps to protect its farming heritage while adapting to modern challenges.

With initiatives like the revitalized Chattahoochee Hill Country Conservancy and the Conservation Fund’s Working Farms Fund, the community is actively working to ensure that farmland remains accessible and productive for future generations. As efforts continue to strengthen the local food system, collaboration between farmers, policymakers, and residents will be key to creating a thriving, resilient agricultural landscape. The future of farming in Chattahoochee Hills depends on these collective actions, ensuring that local, sustainable food remains at the heart of the community.

LIFELONG LEARNING N

Get Curious & Discover Something New

When was the last time you pursued something out of sheer interest? Pursuing hobbies and interests enhances personal growth and overall life satisfaction. However, the frenetic pace of modern life – not to mention the constant pull of social media–makes it difficult to dedicate time to things like art, music, cooking, and other enriching pursuits. In Serenbe, however, there are almost limitless opportunities to stay curious, explore interests, and even discover new things to be passionate about.

Serenbe has always placed emphasis on community.Walkable streets, front porches pulled up to the sidewalk, communal mail sheds, and mixed use buildings all foster the conditions for daily connection between neighbors. And, as it turns out, being acquainted with your neighbors really matters when it comes to exploring your interests. Think about it – would you rather join a book club with a group of strangers or with a group of neighbors who you regularly bump into on the street?

Over the past few years, clubs within the community have formed around shared interests like knitting, poetry, food, and travel. Residents have also formed a number of locally famous music acts, like Grateful To ‘Be, the Ukeladies, and Serenbe Singers. There are salon-style gatherings dedicated to a huge variety of topics–everything from exploring A.I. and its applications to unpacking the inevitability of death.

Sports Entertainment at Serenbe is a rec league that hosts Spring softball and Fall kickball. Neighbors split up into teams, complete with team captains, and compete weekly, gunning for the championship title. Though recreational in nature, these sports leagues are highly competitive: enter at your own risk.

Center Stage at Serenbe is a drama club for kids and adults alike. Center Stage debuted in December 2023 with a production holiday classic of It’s A Wonderful Life. This year, the holiday theme continued with productions of Die Hard (featuring a very special cameo from Serenbe founder Steve Nygren) and a one-night-only reprise of It’s A Wonderful Life. These productions have served a dual purpose as fundraisers for the Terra School and combined, have raised over $15,000.

Serenbe businesses are never one to miss out on the fun, either. Minro Studio, which opened in August 2024, offers a variety of ceramics classes in addition to incredible coffee.

Options for adults include private one-time classes, or four-week workshops for those who really want to dive into all things wheel-throwing, trimming, designing, and glazing. Minro also offers workshops for kids: handbuilding for kids ages 5-12 and wheel throwing for older kids.

In addition to Serenbe’s sports leagues, fitness enthusiasts have a variety of offerings at their fingertips. Serenbe Yoga offers everything from restorative yin to hot power vinyasa, as well as more unique offerings like aerial yoga, which utilizes an aerial hammock to support and assist traditional yoga poses and is all about exploration and playfulness. Studio13 Pilates offers a huge range of options for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Team Genesis BJJ offers a community for those looking to explore self-defense, kickboxing, and jiu jitsu, for both kids and adults.

And the offerings certainly don’t end there. Every month, Hills & Hamlets Bookshop hosts a Romantasy Book Club for the very popular romantic fantasy genre.Wine enthusiasts can enjoy weekly wine tastings at both The General Store and The Wine Shop. In addition to wonderful performances, the Art Farm offers in-depth workshops that have explored memoir writing, sketch drawing, and mold-making.

Exploring hobbies and interests isn’t just a way to pass the time—it’s essential for personal growth, creativity, and a sense of fulfillment. In Serenbe, where opportunities for connection

and discovery are woven into daily life, pursuing passions becomes second nature. Whether through music, sports, the arts, or book clubs, these shared experiences deepen relationships and enrich community ties. Taking the time to nurture our interests not only brings joy but also strengthens our sense of belonging and purpose. It’s an important reminder for everyone to try something new, revisit an old passion, and embrace possibilities that come with curiosity and connection.

A NEW MODEL OF CARE

Acorn to Oak Health Introduces Personalized Healthcare

I

n the heart of Serenbe, an exciting new healthcare practice is taking root. Acorn to Oak Health, founded by Dr. Samer Blackmon and Dr. Christina Escalante, is reimagining what primary care can be through their membership-based medical practice that serves children and adults in the Serenbe community and beyond.

The practice’s origin story is as unique as its approach to healthcare.What began as separate conversations with larger medical systems evolved into a partnership between two physicians who shared a vision for transforming the doctor-patient relationship. Their serendipitous connection even extended to independently choosing the same name for their practice-Acorn to Oak-inspired by personal experiences that symbolized growth and community connection.

a lasting partnership with healthcare providers who prioritize relationship-building and individualized care.

Located conveniently within the Serenbe community, Acorn to Oak Health stands ready to nurture the health and wellness of patients from their earliest years through adulthood, living up to its name as a practice that grows alongside its patients.

A New Model of Care Acorn to Oak Health stands apart from traditional medical practices through its membership medicine model, prioritizing quality over quantity. By limiting their patient numbers, the practice ensures each member receives exceptional access to care and attention. Patients enjoy extended appointment times - 60 minutes for well visits and 30 minutes for sick visits - allowing for comprehensive discussions about both physical and emotional health.

“We wanted to create an office striving to mirror Serenbe’s values of wellness, community connection, and integration with nature,” explains Dr. Blackmon, a board-certified internist who partnered with Dr. Escalante, a board-certified pediatrician, to establish the practice.

Accessibility, Convenience, Prevention and Wellness Members benefit from healthcare that truly works around their schedule. The practice offers same-day or next-day appointments, eliminating the long wait times typically associated with medical care. Patients can connect with their doctors directly through text for quick consultations, making healthcare even more accessible.

The founders spent nearly two years carefully planning their approach, determined to break free from institutional constraints and create a practice that could truly serve the unique needs their membership.

For families seeking a more personal and proactive approach to healthcare, Acorn to Oak offers a refreshing alternative. The practice welcomes new members looking to establish

LIVING WELL

I

A Roadmap to Community & Wellness

n an era of increasing disconnection, Serenbe offers a compelling alternative—a holistic approach to living that prioritizes human and environmental well-being. As global wellness trends continue to evolve, this innovative community vision stands as a beacon of what’s possible when design meets intention, sustainability meets community, and wellness becomes a way of life.

Over the past 10 years, the wellness economy has emerged as a powerful force of change.

According to the Global Wellness Institute, this sector has reached an unprecedented peak of $6.3 trillion in 2023, representing 6.03% of global GDP. More remarkably, the wellness economy has grown to be larger than the green economy, information technology, and sports—a testament to a global shift towards holistic living.

Numbers Tell a Compelling Story of Resilience and Growth: • The wellness economy is projected to grow at a robust 7.3% annually from 2023-2028 • This growth significantly outpaces the projected global GDP growth of 4.8% • By 2024, the sector is expected to reach nearly $6.8 trillion • Projections suggest it will approach $9.0 trillion by 2028 Nine of eleven wellness sectors have fully recovered from the pandemic, with North America, Europe, and the Middle East-North Africa showing the strongest resilience and growth from 2019-2023.

Sprawl Be Gone: Reimagining Land Use Against this backdrop of wellness innovation, Serenbe stands as a pioneering model. While conventional developments typically disturb 80% of land to build homes, Serenbe preserves 70% of its land as greenspace through biophilic planning. This isn’t just an environmental strategy—it’s a radical reimagining of how humans can coexist with the natural world.

Wellness Real Estate: A Conversation with Pioneers In a groundbreaking podcast episode of Global Wellness Conversations, ‘Two Pioneers & an Icon Reimagine Wellness Real Estate,’ Serenbe founder Steve Nygren joined wellness icon Deepak Chopra and Chuck Heath of Ameyalli to explore this emerging landscape. The conversation unveiled a critical insight: when health and well-being are built into the fabric of a community, traditional US development is completely transformed.

Wellness real estate has emerged as the fastest-growing sector of the $6 trillion wellness industry. Nygren shared his journey as a trailblazer, emphasizing that meaningful global change begins at the local level. The podcast highlighted Serenbe as a living laboratory of

how intentional community design can revolutionize our approach to living.

One of the main aspects of building a wellness community is how the homes are built.

Serenbe’s commitment to EarthCraft Certification for all homes and commercial buildings demonstrates that sustainable design isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. These certifications go beyond energy efficiency, encompassing water conservation, indoor air quality, and materials selection that support both human and environmental health.

Walk the Walk: Community by Movement Serenbe’s extensive network of over 20 miles of nature trails and sidewalks is more than an amenity—it’s a deliberate design choice that promotes physical and mental health. By creating a walkable community, residents are naturally encouraged to: • Increase daily physical activity • Reduce car dependency • Create spontaneous social interactions • Decrease environmental impact Among those trails are clustered neighborhoods with front porches pulled close to sidewalks, centralized mail houses, and thoughtfully planned community spaces that create unprecedented opportunities for engagement. This isn’t accidental—it’s a deliberate placemaking strategy to combat the isolation endemic to modern living. Community gathering places are also vital infrastructure for civil society. They create spontaneous connections and provide platforms for meaningful dialogue.

Wellness Leadership The Spring 2025 Biophilic Leadership Summit featured a keynote with Susie Ellis, chairman and CEO of the Global Wellness Institute, the leading non-profit research and educational resource for the global wellness industry. Alongside biophilic thought-leaders, Susie shared insights into how communities like Serenbe are redefining well-being.

As the wellness economy continues to expand, Serenbe stands as a compelling model of what’s possible when we reimagine what a community can look like from the ground up. It’s not just about creating a place to live—it’s about creating a way of living that nourishes body, mind, and spirit.

The journey of wellness is never complete, but in Serenbe, residents have found a path forward—one thoughtful step at a time.

SERENBE STABLES

T

A Place for Connection and Reflection

he stables at Serenbe have long been a place where people, animals, and nature come together in harmony. From trail rides and equestrian programs to spaces designed for mindfulness and healing, the stables have played a vital role in fostering connection and community. Expanding on this foundation, Soul Barn, now managing the stables, has emerged as a peaceful retreat for gathering, reflection, and personal growth—continuing the tradition of creating meaningful experiences in nature.

The Hamlet caught up with Soul Barn owner, Darby Pollock, for a Q&A to find out more about this vision for soulful living.

What inspired the creation of Soul Barn?

I didn’t grow up with horses or riding lessons—my family’s only exposure was a trail ride during a vacation.

It wasn’t until I became a mother and my child wanted horseback riding lessons that I was introduced to horses in a meaningful way. As I observed lessons at a riding barn in our town in Maryland, I witnessed poor conditions and harsh treatment of the horses, which I knew wasn’t the way I wanted my child to learn.

I sought a better approach, one founded on respect for the animals. Through my research, I discovered the world of natural horsemanship. Inspired by this, I sought out the right coach for both myself and my child.

It was then, when I met compassionate and talented trainers, that I realized my journey wasn’t just about horsemanship—it was about personal growth. I learned that horses embody wisdom that far surpasses riding; they are guides to emotional healing. For the first time, I began to unravel deep-seated anxiety and nervous habits, discovering how to be truly present and authentic. Horses taught me that genuine connection begins with self-awareness and emotional authenticity—lessons that, for me, marked the beginning of profound personal healing.

What began as a personal search for a more compassionate and respectful approach to horsemanship soon evolved into something much greater. Along the way, I connected with others who shared the same vision—individuals who believed in the profound wisdom of horses and their ability to foster personal growth and healing. These serendipitous encounters laid the foundation for something beyond traditional riding instruction. They sparked the creation of a space where the connection between horse and human could be honored, nurtured, and expanded into a broader philosophy—one that would become the heart of Soul Barn.

How has it evolved alongside Serenbe over the years?

When I first began managing the stables, March 2022, Soul Barn was strictly a boarding facility. Serenbe had long embraced sustainability, creativity, and holistic well-being, and Soul Barn evolved in harmony with these ideals, blossoming into a vibrant, multi-faceted hub. Today, in addition to boarding, we offer lessons, equine experiences, meditation, yoga, sound baths, equine life-coaching retreats, shamanic workshops, and even Soul Barn Sounds—a cozy concert experience that enriches our cultural tapestry.

What milestones stand out on Soul Barn’s journey?

Several key milestones have marked our evolution: • The transformation from a traditional boarding facility to a center for community and wellness.

• The successful launch of innovative programs—from equine life-coaching retreats to Soul Barn Sounds—that blend equine care with personal and collective growth.

• Cultivating an environment that embodies “evolved horsemanship,” where trust, patience, and compassion have become our cornerstones.

How has Soul Barn influenced the Serenbe community?

Soul Barn has become a beacon of inclusion and personal growth. By viewing horses as mirrors—reflecting lessons in resilience, mindfulness, and patience—we’ve fostered a supportive community where creative collaboration and holistic well-being thrive. Beyond equine experiences, we offer programs designed for those who simply wish to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and the spiritual atmosphere of our space.With something for everyone, Soul Barn has established itself as a true place of inclusion.

Can you share a memorable moment or transformation?

One of our most memorable experiences was during a community event centered around an immersive equine life-coaching session. Watching individuals transform through their interaction with our horses— gaining confidence, deepening self-awareness, and forming meaningful connections—beautifully captured the spirit of evolved horsemanship and the transformative power of our shared vision.

What do you hope people take away from their time here?

We aim for every guest to leave Soul Barn feeling inspired, connected, and uplifted. Whether it’s through a soulful equine experience, the calming influence of a sound bath session, or the intimate vibe of a live concert with Soul Barn Sounds, we hope visitors experience the transformative power of inclusion, deep relationships, and mindful well-being.

How do you see Soul Barn’s legacy shaping Serenbe’s future?

Soul Barn’s legacy lies in its unique blend of art, wellness, and evolved horsemanship. By fostering an environment built on inclusion, deep relationships, and personal growth, we set a benchmark for communitycentered equine experiences. Our ongoing commitment to holistic well-being and creative collaboration will continue to inspire Serenbe’s future, nurturing a culture of trust, compassion, and transformative connection.

Any exciting new programs or collaborations on the horizon?

Absolutely! We’re excited about the continued growth of our offerings, including the development of a dedicated kid’s program. We are being particularly discerning in selecting a trainer—not just any lesson instructor, but someone who truly embraces the Soul Barn philosophy and is enthusiastic about learning from our head-trainer, Karen Jones. Additionally, we envision bringing on an in-house equine life-coach and hosting events featuring influential and meaningful speakers.These initiatives will further support personal development and enrich the transformative journey that defines our community.

Soul Barn is more than a place—it is a philosophy and a community built on connection, mindfulness, and respect for the wisdom of horses. What started as a personal quest for compassionate horsemanship has blossomed into a thriving space where horses guide people toward deeper self-awareness and healing. Rooted in the values of inclusion, mindfulness, and creative collaboration, Soul Barn continues to evolve alongside Serenbe, enriching the community through its unique programs and experiences.

Soul Barn offers boarding for horses, lessons and ongoing events. Learn more at soulbarnatserenbe.com and look for posted events at serenbe.com/events.
