Description
What if the hardest places and parts of our lives are an opening to speechless love before the Holy?
In this contemplative retreat day, we will safely make space to acknowledge the heartache, pain, and brokenness in our lives and this world. Using a Kintsugi art practice, we will seek to integrate and even bring beauty to the cracks, wounds, and broken places. There will be time for honest reflection, prayer, wandering in the woods, and creating a Kintsugi masterpiece.
Things to Know
A simple salad lunch will be served. Please include any dietary restrictions in your registration.
