Personalized Kintsugi Breaking and Mending – Where Grief, Gratitude and Beauty Coexist
Personalized mentoring with Kintsugi
Come join me for a unique personalized ceremony with the art of Kintsugi.
*
We will come together to explore the brokenness that lives within us and acknowledge the beauty and gratitude that resides there. No previous art experience is needed.
*
Kintsugi (“golden joinery”) is an ancient Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. As a philosophy, Kintsugi treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise. It encompasses a philosophy of living, of finding beauty within the imperfections of life, and peacefully accepting the natural cycles of growth and decay.
*
Many of us are living with broken hearts. We accumulate grief and carry it with us, often unseen and unexpressed. But grief can be a storehouse of power, a way to reconnect with how we love and honor what came before. Grief can help us find the beauty in our brokenness, while opening us to loving more and being of service in the world.
*
Come and break a bowl, mend it and paint the fault lines with gold. Discover and honor the place in you were grief, gratitude and beauty coexist.
*
$195.00 for two one-hour guided sessions on Zoom.
Supply list will be provided, or you can purchase a Kintsugi kit from GG for $28.00 plus postage.

“Glenda is one of the most Sacred Inspirers I have had the pleasure to learn from. She walks her talk and facilitates her classes with love, honoring and beauty. Her sacred enthusiasm is infectious and her deep and meaningful blogs (sharing) go straight to my heart. Over the years I have wished that I lived closer to her city so that I could participate more often in her classes and Soul Collage gatherings, but now—who would guess—that this life altering pandemic we are in the midst of would make them more accessible. Thank you Zoom and modern technology. And thank you Glenda for your gifts and for being HERE NOW.”
