Healing Grief Through the art of Kintsugi

The practice of Kintsugi, which is sometimes known as “the art of precious scars” is a profound Japanese philosophy and practice that embraces breakage as part of an object's story, not something to conceal. Join Kristi from Hope Harbour Healing as she shares a teaching on grief through this incredible form of art and finding beauty in the broken. This Kintsugi workshop will involve breaking and then repairing broken bowls with a lacquer mixed with gold powder. Rather than hiding the cracks, Kintsugi highlights them, illuminating the beauty in repair and honoring the history of the object. This art form stands as a profound metaphor for healing from grief, showing us that what is broken can be restored with both beauty and purpose.
