The art of total wellness

If 30 minutes of daily exercise and proper nutrition add years to your life, can an afternoon of art put more wellness into it?

Through “In the Loop,” an event that highlighted wellness through the visual artistry of maestro Rafael Pacheco, urban dwellers were given a sneak preview of the life of total wellness at The Red Oak at Two Serendra, Alveo, Ayala Land’s latest high-rise section in the heart of Bonifacio Global City.

“I had no proper art training like other visual artists in the country, but I have dedicated my work to encouraging people celebrate life through art,” explains Rafael Pacheco or Ka Paeng, a leading exponent of finger-painting in the Philippines and an outspoken campaigner for environmental awareness through art.

Pacheco, whose works have been well-received by royalty such as Prince Charles of Wales and Saudi Arabia‘s King Fahd, shares his 50 years’ worth of paintings in vivid colors and bold strokes, evoking lyrical landscapes and country maidens, in the Rembrandt style of contrasting light and shadow.

“My goal is to encourage people to see and feel art as part of their lives. What better way to do this than by literally dipping their fingers in paint and expressing themselves through artworks,” shares Ka Paeng. “This free environment encourages everyone to create whatever picture they want.”

Also upholding the same value for self-expression, The Red Oak included activities that expressed the body, mind, and spirit. The Rebound and Spin trampoline had bodies bouncing with mid-air photo opportunities. Sharp minds were put to a test with The Red Oak Riddle and the Amazing Maze. Also, a spiritual life coach was present to give tips and advice on how to live life to the fullest.

“The Red Oak encourages residents to pursue total wellness of body, mind, and spirit through its unique amenities, thoughtfully planned to allow everyone to regain focus on themselves again,” says Anton Sanchez, Two Serendra project development manager.

The Red Oak residents can indulge themselves in the 1,700-sqm central leisure pool, spa pavilions and massage huts, steam and sauna, a wellness gym featuring the latest equipment from Kinesis, the Earth Lounge and the Sky Lounge, a music and theater room, a dance and exercise studio, and meditation gardens.

“The Red Oak’s In the Loop pictured wellness as a concept that has no boundaries because it is able to encompass the whole being of a person. Inspired by Ka Paeng’s vision of not limiting himself to the structured appreciation of art, The Red Oak at Two Serendra hopes to become the place where a whole new realm of wellness for the body, mind and spirit resides,” ends Sanchez.
