I really enjoyed it! A cool way to meet the community and get to know people. I thought this was a great event and will definitely be looking into the philosophy of wabi sabi.

Kintsugi was a deeply calming experience. It begins by allowing yourself to break, physically and emotionally. With a trust that you’ll soon put your piece and your self back together. I left knowing nothing is too broken to repair. And that for something to work it doesn’t have to be perfect, just cared for.

Through the workshop, I not only learned about the beauty and significance of kintsugi, but also about the philosophy of embracing imperfections and finding value in the cracks and breaks of life. I left the workshop feeling inspired and empowered to apply this perspective to my own life. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone seeking to find meaning and purpose in their life experiences

What is Kintsugi?
Beauty in What was Broken
Kintsugi is the practice of repairing broken objects, highlighting the cracks with gold. Kintsugi not only restores its functionality but also adds a beautiful narrative, making it even more special.

Cultivating Resilience
It serves as a metaphor for resilience, encouraging people to transform from past experiences by acknowledging and celebrating their history. It encourages people to see themselves as more beautiful than before.
