You’ve done the work of STARTING. You’ve made time for your creativity. You’ve started to move your ideas from imagination into reality.
 
Now, we must KEEP GOING!
 
Your creative work will need attention, nurturing, thought, and community.
It needs a place to evolve while it's still becoming.
 
We’ve made that space for you... ACCELERATE.
SIGN UP NOW!

 What Is ACCELERATE?

 

ACCELERATE is a space for Spark File Alum who want ongoing support, accountability, feedback, reflection, and connection as they continue their creative journey.

 

Twice each month, we'll gather live to think, share, learn, and create alongside one another.

 

No curriculum to complete.

 

Just a dedicated creative practice supported by people who understand what it means to make things.

MAKING THINGS OF QUALITY TAKES TIME!

 

WE KNOW FIRST-HAND WHAT IT TAKES TO KEEP GOING!

 

SIGN UP NOW!

What We’ll Do Together

 

We’ll meet two times per month. Each session will feature The Spark File course rituals you’ve come to know and love, and then move into our intentional practice. 

 

Monthly Session One: Thinking Partnerships

 

  • No more finding time outside of class to meet with your partner

  • Show up and jump into a breakout room for time to think about your creative work

  • Find clarity, uncover new possibilities and move past previous creative roadblocks - all by knowing your own mind!

 

Monthly Session Two: Creativity Shares

 

  • A monthly good pressure deadline to move your work forward

  • Bring your works in progress to receive thoughtful, artist-centered, consent-based feedback that supports your work and your vision

  • Leave feeling seen, heard, encouraged and challenged in all the right ways.

 

PLUS! You get all the perks of The Spark File Creative Community

 

  • Twice a week Creativity Labs for focused work time 

  • Twice a month Coaches Corner for guided support and resources

 

 ACCELERATE Is For You If…

You want to KEEP GOING!
 
You respond to good pressure deadlines.
 
You know momentum is easier to maintain than rebuild.
 
You value thoughtful accountability and creative community.
 
You want dedicated time for your creative work.
 
You need a trusted place to share your works-in-progress.
 
You value support and encouragement from a cohort of creatives who’ve got your back!

 PLUS!

I’m ready to book a call and discuss the possibilities!
