Diving into the creative process.

Clarity Creates!

It is in your moments of decision that destiny is shaped. -Tony Robbins

Greetings, 

I took this photo last week when I was experienting with body printing in my acrylic and canvas work.  It was fun literally dive into my creative process and get messy.

I am thrilled to be celebrating 7 years of Fire Tree Studios this month with my first international retreat in Costa Rica and new affiliate Fire Tree Method Certified Creative Catalyst, Pam SImich, in Boulder, CO! What a journey it has been.  It has been a living breathing organic creative process and I am so grateful for the discovery and for each of you.  Being the steward of Fire Tree has given me the gift of further clarity to my passion, purpose, expression, voice, calling and life-style design.  And it is still evolving!

What I have learned most is that, clarity creates.  Even in the chaos of creation, clarity acts as a compass. When we are clear, when we feel supported, hear our selves, act on our inner guidance, honor our desires, values, needs and liberate our fears --we find the clarity that supports creating rich, colorful and meaningful lives.

So what are the decisions that are shaping your life?

How are your choices lining up with your values?

Do you feel in harmony with what you are creating?

We have a few spaces left on Martha's Vineyard next month and would love to share this experience with you.  This particular retreat is a deep dive and ideal for women in transition and who want to be making choices that are more authentic to the lives they want to be living. 

If you are ready to committ to cultivating conscious change and co+creation in your life then I would love to have you join us and share in this intimate, life changing experience!  See below for more info.

with love and a big fiery heart to you!
xoxo

  • Are you craving for change in your life but you are feeling overwhelmed and don't know where to start?
  • Are you feeling bored and unfulfilled?
  • Do you feel ripe for transformation and change?
  • Do you long to create more meaning for your life?
  • Are you begging to make a shift and the fear keeps creeping in- keeping you paralyzed and stagnant?

Please join me at one of my most favorite locations for the 5th annual Martha's Vineyard painting adventure! Ever since I spent my first summer on Martha's Vineyard, it has long inspired many return pilgrimages and I longed to create a creative retreat on this magical island- ever since I picked up a brush and discovered intuitive process painting.

This week-long retreat will be a journey of self and creative discovery in a supportive, nurturing environment and community.

Massages will be available on the property during the week for an additional investment, and you may rent bikes to explore the island during a few free afternoons and evenings.

The week includes:

  • accommodations for 7 nights at the artist retreat on Flat Bottom Pond.
  • private painting studio with 24-hour access in an art-barn on the property
  • all creative materials and art supplies
  • teachings on the creative process
  • morning movement to get the creative juices flowing
  • individual coaching  & guidance on your unique creative process, blocks in your creativity and life and discovering your authentic voice
  • a week of guidance and support individually and as a group
  • 1 individual coaching session on site with Melissa
  • all gourmet chef-prepared local-organic meals

Dive in, go deep and be surrounded by amazing nature, tons of bike trails and gorgeous beaches.  The studio will be open 24hours a day so you may paint at any time, day or night. Scheduled facilitated painting sessions will take place daily varying each day from 10am to 9pm.

We will be staying at an incredible private artist's retreat in a whimsical main house, private cabin and writer's cottage.

You will have 24-hour access to a art-barn that will be set up as our painting studio, and a private pond in the lovely Lambert's Cove area of West Tisbury.

A local private chef will be serving up  healthy gourmet, organic and locally grown food (when available) for all of our meals.

During this retreat everything is taken care of for you so that you may relax and sink into yourself and your creative process.  Morning creative movement will be offered to start the day off grounding ourselves and igniting our life force prior to painting sessions.

More Praise for the Martha's Vineyard Painting Retreat.

"Flat Bottom Pond is positively awe-inspiring. The tranquil environment surrounded by nature made it easy for me to connect with my higher self. The painting retreat has catalyzed my personal growth. Through this experience my heart has opened and allowed me to receive the abundance of love that life has to offer. Melissa provides a safe harbor in which to explore, express, play, take risks and be creative. She is compassionate, spontaneous, energetic, playful, intuitive, respectful and passionate. Melissa has a knack for holding space and inviting to you hear the truth within your own heart. I'm grateful for my experience and the lovely people I encountered on my journey, and I can't wait till next year.

-Sara Hufford, Photographer

Rejuvenating, memorable, momentous and cathartic, these are the words I use to describe my week at Martha's Vineyard with Melissa's Fire Tree group. It couldn't have come at a better time.  I sat idle for three years after completing a three year MFA (Masters of Fine Arts ) program in painting.  I guess the critiques and the harsh judgments took their toll on me.   Melissa, however, has reawakened the passion and the joy of painting as a process. I'm truly enjoying what I'm doing.  Thanks to Melissa's freeing process... I couldn't be happier, I'm painting every day, and when I'm not, I want to be. It was the best investment in the future of my happiness."

-Bonnie Orbach, Artist, Landscape designer
