RED BARN PROGRAM
FORGE’s Red Barn Program offers inspired space to retreat, collaborate, and create outside of the swings and doldrums of daily life.
Dedicate up to five days to develop and play in our 1,500 square foot Red Barn in Danbury, Connecticut. Set your schedule to best suit your work, alongside opportunities for feedback and consultation, with expert leadership, facilitation and hospitality
Red Barns are open to individuals or groups (up to 8) looking to spend focused time development. That might look like a staff or board retreat, a week's worth on on-you-feet rehearsals, or workshopping a class or educational offering.
