Past retreats

If you’re considering attending a Firelily retreat with Jess and her team, do it. I cannot recommend this experience enough both for your growth as a flow artist and as an individual. My first Firelily retreat experience with Jess just finished, and I’m already looking forward to the next one I can attend!

If you have ever had even a slight inkling of interest in doing a retreat, this is the one! Jessy is the absolute best teacher hands down and has organized the retreat in away where you are left with heaps of information that will help you in your artistic journey. You explore all aspects of the prop, performing/videoing, and even getting to have free flow jams every night. There are also excursions to explore the local area. I think out of everything, I find the best part is that Jessy facilitates such a loving and welcoming atmosphere that every single person feels included and has such a special experience. I know for me personally, I felt I grew enormously as an artist and am leaving so much more confident than before. Thank you Jessy for everything! Firelilies for life 🔥 🌺

I can 100 percent recommend Jessy's Firefan Retreat in Bali! I had the absolute best time and enjoyed every minute so much! Jessy is the best trainer you could ever ask for! I learned so much and can take so much with me and apply it to my performance. The retreat was perfect planned with great attention to detail. From the airport transportation to the costume we received as a gift. We were at a beautiful retreat location in a well-kept jungle complex, we made a trip to the water temple and always ate very well. The pleasant and supportive nature of Jessy and her team made me feel very safe and encouraged in my learning process and I really enjoyed the loving atmosphere in our group - I made friends and am so inspired by all the great fire dancers and women at the retreat! I feel so good after this retreat, I was able to recharge so much strength and good energy! We also rehearsed a choreo - with 23 fire dancers! It was fantastic to see how Jessy managed it so well! She is a really lovely and great fire performer and retreat leader! I am so happy to have gone on this retreat!

An absolutely unforgettable experience! I definitely leveled up on my fire skills. Jess is an excellent teacher. She breaks down difficult moves in a way that a novice can follow. The retreat was inspiring. Everyone was helpful and uplifting. The food and accommodations were top notch. I traveled solo, but made lifelong friends at retreat. I would highly recommend taking classes from Jess or attending a retreat.

One of the most incredible weeks of my life ~ Jessy is such an amazing teacher and human being. I couldn’t recommend learning from her more!

I had an incredible time at the Firelily Dance Retreat! Jessy is an amazing teacher & beautiful person inside & out. Concepts were explained to me a variety of ways & I had plenty of opportunities to practice & learn. I love all the friends I’ve made from the retreat. I’d highly recommend this retreat!
