October 23-26th, 2025

This is your invitation to go beyond the canvas and into full expression— surrounded by bold women who are just as lit up as you are.

Imagine waking up in your cozy bed on a gorgeous, crisp Vermont Fall morning where you enjoy a delicious farm to table breakfast and have the most inspiring conversation, before heading to a beautiful studio where you’ll work side-by-side with renowned artists Randi Solin (glass) and Natalie Blake (ceramics). By the end of the day, you feel so lit up and inspired, you can’t wait to see what’ll happen next.

Girls Who Play with Fire
is more than a retreat—
it’s a catalyst.

This retreat isn’t just about art.

It’s about stepping into a high-vibration space where creativity, boldness, and personal power rise together. Led by six women who embody their own flame, this experience is designed to ignite yours.

Whether you’re an artist ready to step onto the map, you've got a creative idea you'd like to expand on, you're an entrepreneur excited to share your work on a larger scale, or you just want to feel that deep connection with other creative women and have some fun seeing what you’ll make - this retreat offers both fuel and structure.


Why gift yourself this retreat?

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.
