Spark Joy

Spark Joy
An Evening for Couples · Presented by Bridgewater Advisory Group

Designing the life you’ve earned, with Joy.

One unhurried evening to step back, reconnect with what matters most, and name the moments worth building toward — together.

“Steve and I really enjoyed attending Spark Joy. It was a great opportunity for the two of us to listen and absorb information. It was truly exciting to be there because we took time out of our daily schedule just to listen and to be. What does bring us joy? What are we looking for in our future?

The Spark Joy conference did not end in that room. Steve and I took that home with us. Reviewed the materials that we received and spoke about… Next steps! It was truly an evening well spent – it lit us up… And we continue to reference the materials!

Highly recommend Spark Joy – one evening truly can change your way of thinking!

Many thanks to the Bridgewater Team for the invitation and sharing such an important message!”

– Denise KistPrior event attendee, April 2026

What it is

Not a seminar, a space to dream & explore.

Spark Joy is a small-group evening for couples entering a new season of life.

Across one unhurried evening, you’ll step back from the noise of daily life and reconnect with what matters most – your values, the people you love, and the moments you want to build toward together.

We call those moments Joy Moments – experiences that bring your values to life and make this season deeply meaningful.

The evening is conversational, reflective, and intentionally small by design – creating space to dream, explore, and talk about what comes next.

Just space to think clearly, dream honestly, and reconnect around the future you want to create together.

– Ethan & Terry

Who It’s For

An honest invitation, with honest edges.

This Evening is For You If…
  • You feel a new season of life approaching.
  • You want more intentional conversations about the future.
  • You’ve spent years building a life and want to think more deeply about how you want to live it.
  • You want space to dream together instead of simply solving problems.
  • You’re craving more clarity, direction, and meaningful connection.
It’s Probably Not For You If…
  • You’re looking for a financial review or market commentary.
  • You’re expecting a traditional seminar or presentation.
  • You’re hoping for investment recommendations or product pitches.
  • You plan to attend without your spouse or partner.
  • You’re looking for a large, high-energy workshop environment.

Spark Joy was intentionally designed to feel personal, reflective, and conversational.

Ethan & Terry Bridgewater

Bridgewater Advisory Group is a multigenerational family business rooted in relationships, trust, and helping families move through life with greater clarity and confidence.

For over twenty years, Ethan and Terry have guided couples through important financial and life transitions. Spark Joy is the conversation they believe too many people skip — the work of slowing down, reconnecting with what matters most, and creating a vision for the years ahead before planning begins.

This isn’t a seminar. It’s an evening designed to create space for the kind of conversations that are hard to make room for in everyday life.

“Clarity and confidence allow you to claim joy in the moments that define your life – the ones so meaningful you wish they could last forever.”

– Ethan Bridgewater

Honest answers

If anything below is still unclear, we’re always happy to answer questions directly.

Is this a financial planning meeting?

No. There are no spreadsheets, investment presentations, or product pitches. Spark Joy is about creating space to think more intentionally about life, priorities, and the future you want to build together.

Do we need to be Bridgewater clients?

Not at all. Some attendees are clients, many are not. Everyone is welcome.

Who is it for?

Spark Joy is designed for couples – generally in their fifties and beyond – who feel a new season of life approaching and want time and space to talk about it together.

You don’t need to be near retirement, and you certainly don’t need to have everything figured out. That’s part of the point.

What does it cost?

There is no cost to attend. Appetizers, cocktails & dinner are included.

Can we attend solo?

This Spark Joy Couples Date Night experience is specifically designed for couples. If you’re interested in individual planning opportunities, join the waitlist to hear about future events and seminars.
