Ignite the Spark Retreats is the brainchild of two accomplished screenwriters/filmmakers, John Strong and Robin Bradford. The pair were inspired to start a retreat for writers and artists of all types where creativity would flourish, ideas would take shape, and meaningful connections would be nourished. Please join our newsletter, and let’s ignite those sparks together!
