Our Mission

The Whimsical Dart is dedicated to preserving the history and teaching the art of dart throwing as a pathway to community, connection, and personal grounding, growth, and empowerment. We believe darts is more than a game—it is a shared experience that fosters emotional presence, authentic confidence, and meaningful relationships.

Through inclusive outreach and the sharing of diverse narratives, we welcome individuals of all backgrounds, abilities, and experience levels—illuminating how darts can live within and enrich every community. Our work extends to restoring dartboards and revitalizing playing spaces, honoring the tradition of the sport while deepening appreciation for its cultural and social value.

We offer personalized dartboards and thoughtfully curated environments for both home and public spaces, alongside one-of-a-kind dart holders that celebrate individual expression. Through our Relational Dart Program, we provide a personalized, guided, step-by-step approach to the fundamentals—integrating technique, breath, focus, and supportive resources to encourage growth at every stage. This program serves individuals, families, communities, corporate professionals, and frontline workers who support and strengthen our communities.

We believe darts can help us access and express our truths—offering a way to understand how we feel, to be present with our thoughts and emotions, and to connect authentically with ourselves and others, with or without words.

At its core, The Whimsical Dart exists to ensure that dart throwing remains accessible, enriching, and welcoming to all—across ages, identities, and levels of experience.

Corissa Gold

The Whimsical Dart is family affair for Corissa. Working with Matt bridges artistry, therapeutic presence, and a deep love of the game. As both an artist and a therapist, she approaches dart throwing not only as a skill, but as a meaningful practice—one that invites focus, emotional awareness, and authentic connection. Her work integrates creative expression with relational insight, offering spaces where individuals and communities can explore both the precision of the throw and the deeper rhythms of presence, breath, and self-understanding. As a dart throwing advocate, she is dedicated to making the sport accessible, restorative, and welcoming—honoring its history while reimagining its role in modern community life. Rooted in creativity and guided by relational awareness, her work explores how a simple throw can become a doorway into presence, truth, and connection.

Blending craft, care, and advocacy, she reimagines dart throwing as both art form and shared language—one that speaks across skill levels, backgrounds, and experiences. Through this work, she invites others to slow down, tune in, and discover the quiet power of showing up—one throw at a time.

Her work centers on expanding access to darts across diverse communities—offering programs, restored spaces, and personalized experiences that meet people where they are. With a belief that darts can foster both individual expression and collective belonging, she is committed to building spaces where all people feel seen, supported, and invited to participate.
