About the Artists:

Randi Solin and Natalie Blake have mastered their craft for over 25 years.

Recognized worldwide for their unique creative styles, these women have successfully collaborated to develop Fire Arts Vermont, an award-winning destination space in Brattleboro that connects the community with the arts. 

About the Food:

You'll eat the finest locally sourced, organic food during your stay with us.

We're collaborating with a local private chef to bring you the most delicious daily food.

Athletes and creatives when in their greatness are tuned into an optimal somatic flow state where all of their thoughts drop away and they’re completely present and focused on what they’re doing. 

In this state their unique life force energy has connected to something greater than themselves, unleashing an uninhibited expression of that energy where anything is possible and the beauty of what comes through is astounding. 

Accessing this state regularly helps to ignite your creative flow, express yourself authentically, feel more alive and connected to yourself, deepens your self trust, helps you trust your intuitive knowing, increase your awareness and focus, and feel more relaxed with life.

At this retreat you’ll experience an approach using the mediums of glass, clay, paint, sound, movement and food to help you explore your creativity, tune into your creative edges and access your optimal somatic flow state so that you can expand into new experiences of the authentic expression of your creative life force.

We use multiple mediums because you interact with each of them in different ways, challenging you to push your creative edges and giving you a deeper awareness of how your unique life force energy connects with THE greater life force energy, rippling into your entire life and your relationship with everything.

Your creation process through these mediums is a metaphor for life, giving you a deeper self awareness. 

  This retreat is for you: 

• If you're ready to ignite your creative spirit and step beyond the familiar.
• Explore new ways of self-expression through glass, clay, paint, sound, movement, and food.
• Expand your awareness and connect with the flow of life by engaging in each unique medium.
• Use each creative experience as a mirror, reflecting and enhancing your self-awareness.
• Awaken new layers of insight, creativity, and connection that will resonate long after you return home.

• Prefer a strict schedule or aren’t flexible with plans
