The Spark of Life Philosophy

Spark of Life Philosophy has at its core the ability to facilitate the most genuine, honest, humanitarian expression of compassion, understanding, and love. When this quality connection is missing, it has an acute damaging effect on the person with dementia, often resulting in expressions of deep despair.

However, when the person with dementia is met with kindness and lovingly listened to – it offers the profound promise: You are still here. You still matter. We are here for you.

The Philosophy is expressed in the tone of our voice, the way we approach the person with dementia, the way we welcome them into a room, the way we shake and gently hold their hands, and the way we stay present in silence when they are trying to find the words.

Everything starts with this quality of the interaction.

This profound way of connecting is often the fundamental and missing piece in the puzzle of complete person-centred and trauma healing. 

The Spark of Life Philosophy is now practiced in diverse cultures and fields in 12 countries with remarkable results – in some cultures, literally saving lives.
