Elmer, New Jersey – Appel Farm Arts and Music Campus will create a weekend packed with intentional opportunities for connection at this year’s Mother Daughter Art Retreat March 13-15, 2020.
Mother Daughter Art Retreat is an opportunity to laugh, listen, and create while participating in movement, writing, and visual arts workshops that explore the concept of dreams. Mother Daughter Art Retreat creates a supportive and safe environment that fosters community and personal growth for participants as they enjoy time for intentional and meaningful connection and communication.
Moms get to hear about their daughter’s hopes and dreams for the future. Daughters will discover that mom is not only “mom” but a woman just like them, with her own dreams and aspirations.
“This retreat is not only for mothers and daughters. We’ve had grandmothers and grandchildren, aunts and nieces, and everything in between. This retreat is a special place to connect and create,” said Arts Integration and STEAM Education Director, Kristina Hill.
Attendees will spend the weekend sleeping in a cozy, dorm-style bunk and enjoy delicious meals in a spacious dining hall overlooking the Appel Farm organic garden. Moms and daughters will make new friends while getting to know other women in workshops, campfires and even an afternoon wine tasting for moms!
The retreat costs $260 for a pair of participants. This includes 2 nights of overnight accommodations, 5 meals, all workshops and materials, s’mores, snacks, and the afternoon wine tasting for moms. Additional family members are $120 per person.
Mother Daughter Workshops:
Imagine learning some American Sign Language, taught by a mother-daughter duo? Sip some wine during a wine and painting pairing. Try your hand at a sketch journaling class. And that’s just a few of the workshops for this year’s Mother Daughter Art Retreat, with more to come! The ASL Workshop is going to be so special, taught by Hands Up Silent Theatre‘s Kristy Whilden and her daughter! Appel Farm teaching Artist Zoungy will offer a sketch journaling class early on Saturday to encourage attendees to sketch throughout the weekend, and he’s also teaching a painting lesson!
