Seven amazing Firestarter speakers shared their stories. In addition to this flagship event, we host Spark Events. These are smaller, community-based events, that take place in homes, businesses, cafes, and online. Addressing barriers, sharing wisdom, sparking Kindling Projects – come join us! Inspire action, ignite creativity, and foster lasting connections.

Did you miss out on creating a vision board for the New Year because it was too much work? You threw away all the magazines and catalogs? You’re trying to stop sniffing glue? LOL. Our delightful community member, artist, and manifestor extraordinaire, Elana Merzin, is going to show you how to make a digital mini vision board from your phone or laptop. Use it as a graphic on social media, make one every week to set an intention, email it to your mom for Mother’s Day. Just hop into our Facebook group for an hour of fun and creativity. Something magical just might happen.
