Girls Who Play With Fire

Women’s Creative Intensive Retreat

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

Join a creative sisterhood and work side-by-side with renowned artists Randi Solin (glass) and Natalie Blake (ceramics) in their Vermont studio.

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.

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, or you're an entrepreneur excited to share your work on a larger scale—this retreat offers both fuel and structure.


This retreat is about awakening the part of you that already knows what’s next—and helping you take the leap, with fire under your feet and community at your back.

You’ll spend your days:


🔥 Creating alongside renowned artists Randi Solin (glass), Natalie Blake (ceramics) and seasoned coaches and marketing professionals.


🔥 Receiving hands-on guidance to bring your artistic or professional vision into the world


🔥 Moving beyond self-limiting beliefs and stepping into bold, visible expression


🔥 Connecting with women who are fired up, purpose-driven, and ready to move


🔥 Feeling supported and inspired by a group dynamic that lifts everyone higher
