  • By engaging our trainees through the creative process, we nurture their personal spark so it can ignite joy at work.

  • You do not have to produce fine art to benefit from creative expression. The process itself fosters Growth, Well-Being, Connection, and a Culture Shift toward celebrating older adults and their service providers.

  • We equip teams with practical, creative tools to enhance their interactions with older adults, fostering meaningful moments that enrich the quality of life for staff and those they serve.

Hear from our Trainees

  • Two women smiling and working on a craft project at a table, wearing blue gloves. Another person is in the background focusing on their work. The setting appears to be a workshop or classroom.

    “Creative Spark inspired me to work more with my team; to continue to shift my thinking and belief systems about what it means to grow older; to discover what lights me up so I can use it to help others find what lights them up.”

  • People painting with watercolors on a wooden table, surrounded by art supplies like brushes, colored pencils, water bottles, and napkins.

    “This is the most fun and energetic seminar have ever attended. Playfulness, creativity and joy is what we all thrive from and thank you for bringing that to so many of us so that we can pass it on!”

  • Four women smiling and holding up colorful abstract art pieces made of paper cutouts at a table in a room.

    “Creative Spark is CPR for the soul. You feed us, so we can feed the residents. You’ve inspired me to bring residents together across levels of care in new creative ways.”
