Time: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Place: Mary & Joseph Retreat Center

 Registration Fee: $100 includes workshop materials and lunch

In this experiential workshop, each participant will break, decorate, and restore a ceramic bowl, mending the cracked seams with gold paint.

You'll explore how kintsugi teaches us to honor our wounds rather than hide them. The Broken Bowl® process developed by Christa Brennan guides you through the journey from loss to restoration, helping you:

• Recognize that a sense of brokenness is not an end, but a beginning—an invitation to encounter your true Self
• Embrace the wisdom that appears when you release resistance to life's fractures
• Awaken to the healing resources that dwell in you

This personal experience combines expressive arts with mindful meaning-making techniques to deal with change, accept transformation, and chart a restored path forward with what emerges.

Who Should Attend

This experience is designed for anyone seeking renewal, healing, reflection, or deeper connection. No previous art experience is required and participants are welcome to attend individually or alongside someone meaningful in their life, including:

• Individuals seeking personal and spiritual renewal
• Couples
• Parents and children ages 13+
• Adult siblings or family members
• Friends

 Note: This experience may stir emotions connected to personal loss. The workshop is designed for individuals who are not currently processing recent trauma or in a state of acute vulnerability. To ensure a safe, supportive environment, registration is limited to eight people.
