Modern Kintsugi US
The art of Kintsugi embodies new beauty made through imperfections. It’s an artistry of mending broken pieces, symbolically representing how brokenness in our lives can transform to places of beauty and power. Instead of hiding chipped and broken parts, when imperfections are pronounced with the gold, symbolizing the light, you behold something that’s more beautiful. It’s an art form of mending to make new. In this Gather, we’ll have an open time to share personal discovery with each other as we apply Kintsugi to a piece we’ve each brought with us. We’ll share a time of personal reflection and beholding through working with our hands.
Please do not break things to bring. Instead, look for cracked, chipped, and broken ceramics you already have. No glass, please.

As a pediatric physical therapist for the past 15 years, her work has framed how she views her role as a kintsugi facilitator. Sarah’s desire is for all people (children and adults!) to be able to live their lives to their fullest potential. She sees play as an essential component to learning, not only with pediatric clients, but with adult learners as well. She holds a B.S. from Vanderbilt University and a DPT from Duke University. Sarah is also a committed advocate for a variety of organizations including International Justice Mission, Safe Families for Children, Down Syndrome Achievement centers, and LifeWay Network. And, she is a mom, and enjoys spending time with her three amazing and crazy children and her dog, Caesar!
