FORGEFUEL
FORGE Fuel is a quarterly writers retreat offering an escape from the rhythms of city life and a chance to spend a weekend working in the company of like-minded creators. Set at a quiet country farmhouse in a pastoral corner of Connecticut, with plenty of opportunities for feedback and collaboration (and the comfort of home-cooked meals!), FORGE Fuel provides the ideal conditions for lighting a fire from your creative spark.
FORGE Fuel is primarily offered to organizations for the benefit of their members at a $1000 flat fee for up to five participants. If you'd like to reserve a FORGE Fuel for your company, please fill out our inquiry form.
