Hello Gentle Sparkler--

Welcome to The Spark File BLAZE - we are so excited you are here!

You have come to a warm and welcoming place where creative risk-taking is supported, celebrated, and encouraged. Here at The Spark File, you are in the right place and you are right on time!

This page will be your home for all information related to The Spark File BLAZE. You can also expect a weekly email from our Team Captain on Tuesdays, it will point your eyes toward timely information on this BLAZE Bulletin Board.

The Thursday Spark Sessions classes that happen throughout your journey are the center of your BLAZE experience. They are the meat and potatoes of the work we do to give you the accountability, support and inspiration to complete your creative work. 

There are many other elements that we consider part of a big, beautiful buffet you get to choose from. We provide you with a variety of support tools, which you can find in the BLAZE Toolbox.

Please take a deep dive into the BLAZE Toolbox, as this is where you will find important calendars, links and resources that will help you along this adventure. If you do not engage 100% in all of the elements (Creativity Labs, Thinking Partnerships, BLAZE Portal, online Creative Community, etc.), please do not worry. You are meant to use the tools that work for you, and 'bless and release' any that are not the right fit.

This page is your home base for the next several months. Following each class, all recordings, handouts and resources will be posted in the corresponding module.

Please come on in, make yourself at home, and know that you are in great company with your fellow Sparklers. If you have any logistical questions, please email your Team Captain, Kevin Winebold at teamcaptain@thesparkfile.com.

We are delighted to have each of you as a part of The Spark File BLAZE.

Now let's take it and MAKE IT!
