🌟 Kintsugi – The Art of Golden Repair 🌟
This plate has been mended using the ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi, which means “golden joinery.” Instead of hiding the cracks, Kintsugi highlights them with gold, embracing the history of the object and celebrating its transformation.
In many ways, Kintsugi reflects life and healing. Just as the broken pieces are carefully rejoined, our own challenges and scars can become part of our story — not something to disguise, but something that adds depth, beauty, and resilience.
The process is surprisingly meditative. Your anxious mind finds focus in the careful, deliberate work. Each golden repair becomes a lesson in patience, acceptance, and finding beauty in what's been damaged.
At Sanctuary Counselling and Art Therapy, I love using creative practices like this as gentle reminders that wholeness doesn’t mean perfection. We can be broken and mended, and in that process discover new strength and beauty.
