What we’re about
SPARK is about sparking new ideas and, hopefully, sparking new friendships as well. We'll explore philosophy in a down-to-earth way. The Organizers will lead some of the discussions but there will be no lectures — it's all about group participation. Members are encouraged to present on topics that interest them.
We are an Equal Opportunity group and do not discriminate against anyone on the basis of race, sex, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, or disability.
It is the vision of the Organizers of Spark that our group will be primarily an IRL (In Real Life) group. We want to create a community of like-minded folks who are honestly interested in face-to-face interactions. To that end, we encourage our members to attend at least one event every six months. When we are planing events we need to know that the number of RSVPs is accurate so if you RSVP, please show up. We have a Facebook group but we only allow members to join it if they have attended at least one event. Also, if you use an alias, or if you cannot provide a recognizable head shot as your profile pic, you will not be allowed to join. We want to deal with honest individuals who do not seek to conceal their identities.
We are open to people of all philosophical, religious, and political points of view. If you're a life-long learner, this group is for you! See you soon!

Master the Art of Clarity: An Experience
Do you feel stuck or get stuck often? Perhaps you have built a successful life, with a successful career and a loving family.
And yet—
- Every week feels busy, but not meaningful.
- The question that won't leave you alone: “Is this really it?”
- Change at work and in the world feels relentless—you’re tired of holding it all together.
- Old habits of overthinking and perfectionism stall your next move.
- Play and curiosity have gone missing, replaced by pressure and seriousness.
If this feels familiar, you’re not alone. Many seasoned professionals are exhausted by the gap between what they believe intellectually and what feels right in their bones.
This experience is designed to help you:
- Slow down and reconnect with yourself in the midst of uncertainty
- Experiment with fresh ways of seeing and being
- Discover how to sustain momentum without burning out
- Leave with a felt sense of connection and clarity
Will Gao is a transformation coach with 7 years of experience in AI and consulting. He helps people who feel stuck connect with their own wellspring of clarity, resilience, and creativity.

It ultimately helped him build a highly effective team of AI engineers powered by a culture of trust and empathy.
