Mending With Gold

About Mending With Gold

Infused with the ethos of the Kintsugi Therapist Collective, Mending With Gold is a space to connect and explore the reality that there is strength, beauty, and value in the brokenness that is intrinsic to being human. Each guest is invited to explore three aspects of kintsugi as a metaphor for mending a place of brokenness in their life. Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing pottery with lacquer and precious metals; by emphasizing rather than hiding what is broken, the whole experience of the object is honored.
