*Update: This event is now full. Thank you for your interest!

Kintsugi (‘golden joinery’) serves as an inspiring metaphor for how we approach life, in particular the unexpected events and imperfections in our lives.

In this experiential and reflective full-day workshop, we engage in joining shards of a beautiful, yet broken, bowl as a tangible means to deepen our capacity to heal and build resilience. We highlight the cracks that symbolize our scars as we move towards appreciation of the fragility, strength and beauty on our journey through life and loss.
