Have you seen the video project Color of Your Soul, created at the Silk Fan Retreat 2024? Creating art with our incredible group of firelillies, in one of my favourite locations in Victoria, was a truly magical experience.
This is just a slice of the special adventures shared with silk fan firelillies. I am still blown away by the closeness our group formed over just a few days. The creativity, dedication, hunger for learning, and playfulness has not only left me super excited for our Fire Dance Retreat in Bali this September... but also super inspired for future events!
A few words from attendees that made my heart ugly cry...

Aaand on the note of our Bali Fire Dance Retreat... we still have a few spots left! So if you've been feeling the call for holiday, fire dance training, or both, in a balmy poolside tropical paradise location... send me a message ;)
We just need you and your fire fans... everything else is taken care of. It's my big mission to make the retreat an absolutely unforgettable experience for you!! The shared learning, bonding, adventures and creativity is what it is all about.
I am deep into the preparations and planning now, which has left me super excited - eeee!!!

Touching review from Mel from Bali Retreat 2023:
"The FireLily Dancer Retreat was 5/5 stars, but it deserves 500. It was truly magical and have so much gratitude for being a part of what feels like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Jessy held such a beautiful space to learn and grow and feel empowered by movement. As a beginner fire dancer, I was worried I would feel completely out of my depth, instead I felt so encouraged by her teachings and by being surrounded by such an incredible and inspiring group of people that it really gave me the confidence to let go of fear, enjoy the celebration of performance art and embrace the therapy of dancing with intention ❤️🔥"

Winter Solstice Student Showcase
|
|
|
|
|
Last but not least... for our student fire dance showcase, FireLily teamed up with the Collingwood Children's Farm and their annual Winter Solstice Bonfire. Beginner and intermediate student groups performed before the bonfire was lit, and absolutely smashed it! ...yes, there was A LOT of fire!!
|
|
I am a super proud fire mama, seeing firelillies conquer fears and some even spinning fire for the first time less than two weeks earlier (wowza!). Video to come...
|
|
...and that's it for now! Thanks for taking the time to follow along :)
My deepest gratitude and love to you, no matter your location in the world.
