SPARK was originally founded in the summer of 2002 to commemorate the volunteer spirit of September 11th by offering free energy-based therapies to the New York public on the first anniversary of September 11th.

During our initial event, practitioners from Arizona and the New York area set up massage tables in Battery Park and Washington Square Park, and treated 650 people in four days.

Below is our original statement of intent:

"On September 11, 2001, New York and the world awoke with no idea of the events that would transpire. For many, this day of massive change and transition created an emptiness and feeling of tremendous separation. At the same time, it also provided one of the greatest opportunities for people to reach out to one another and connect in an effort to restore balance and a sense of wholeness. To this day, people are still moving toward that sense of completion, and we are here to help. No one needs to suffer. We are here for those searching for a way to release the traumatic effects of a year ago. We intend to help others connect with the beauty and fullness of life.

We are all here for each other."

Since 2002, SPARK has continued its tradition of free park events, and also branched out to serve diverse communities across New York City. In March of 2005, SPARK incorporated in New York State and was granted federal 501c3 tax-exempt status in August 2007.
