KINTSUGI | The Japanese Art of Emotional Healing Through Imperfection
A break is not a loss—it’s a new form of existence. In this 2-hour workshop, you'll explore Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, as a metaphor for emotional healing. By highlighting rather than hiding the cracks, we embrace our scars as part of our story, discovering strength, beauty, and transformation in imperfection.
• Start with a flawless ceramic pottery piece: Representing the untouched, pure essence of who we are.
• Feel the break: The ceramic pottery is shattered, symbolizing the hardships or events that leave us feeling fragmented.
• Rebuild with gold: Each crack is carefully filled with gold, representing the healing process of embracing our scars and finding strength in vulnerability.
• Honor every imperfection: The cracks and breaks become part of the pottery’s unique story, just as our struggles contribute to who we’ve become.
• Embrace transformation: The final piece is not only more beautiful but also more meaningful—reflecting the precious self we’ve built by piecing together our broken parts.
It's more than art—it’s a celebration of your story, exactly as it is. ❤
