Spark: Learn to Flirt, Create Chemistry & Actually Connect An experiential flirting and connection workshop for singles who are done with boring dates — and ready to actually feel something.
About this Event

Another "fine" date. Zero spark.

You matched, you showed up, you were perfectly pleasant — and then went home wondering why it felt like a job interview. You're not bad at dating. You just haven't been taught what actually creates chemistry between two people. Most of us haven't.

Spark is a two-hour experiential flirting and connection workshop for singles in San Francisco. It's part skill-building, part practice space, and entirely unlike anything else on the SF dating scene right now.

You won't be handed a script. You won't do speed dating. You'll learn — and actually practice, with real people in the room — how to show up with more presence, more playfulness, and the kind of grounded ease that makes someone genuinely want to keep talking to you.



Bring a friend — 2-for-1

Use my 2-for-1 promotion at checkout. Dating is more fun when you have a wing person — and practicing flirting with someone you already trust in the room makes everything easier. Grab a friend and come together.

What you'll learn and practice

This workshop moves through a progressive sequence of guided exercises. Each one builds on the last. Everything is optional and consent-centered — you're always in choice.



Arrive — actually

Breath, movement, and light warm-up to get you out of your head and into the room. Spark can't happen when you're rehearsing your next sentence.



Nervous energy vs. grounded presence

Short teaching on why anxiety kills chemistry — and what shifts when you slow down and actually take someone in.



Find your flirting style

Research shows five distinct flirting styles. You'll identify yours — and understand why your signals might not be landing the way you think.



Practice the moves

Specific noticing, playful tension, how to initiate without it feeling like too much, how to read what's coming back at you. Live, in pairs.



Create anticipation

The art of slowing down. Letting moments breathe. Not rushing to fill the silence. This is where dates go from flat to electric.



Go somewhere real

Guided prompts that move the conversation from surface to something that actually means something. Less structure, more magic.


"Exceptional, engaging, informative, professional, no dull moment. Heather's work stands out as a marquee in the field."— K.S., past workshop participant



This is for you if...
  • You're getting dates off apps but they keep going nowhere
  • You freeze up, overthink, or don't know how to turn up the heat without it feeling awkward
  • You want to meet people in person — in a space that's actually designed for real connection
  • You're shy or introverted (quieter people often leave the most magnetic)
  • You're tired of mixers, speed dating, and events that feel transactional

This is not for you if...
  • You're looking for pickup lines or manipulation tactics — this isn't that
  • You want to observe rather than participate — this workshop is fully experiential


"Wow, did the time fly by. I left feeling genuinely unlocked."— A.D., past workshop participant
