We’ve all had life experiences that have brought us to our breaking point. These experiences have molded us and the way we see the world. We believe that no matter the experience… you are NOT broken! It’s possible to find strength in the cracks and imperfections. That is where our true beauty lies.

*The Hands-On Project was led by Kirsten Helgeson, Founder and CEO of Just A Girl. She conducted a Kintsugi Workshop. Each participant walked away with their OWN Kintsugi as well as a greater sense of honesty, connection, and compassion for their personal experiences. By definition, Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold lacquer. In philosophy, it's a celebration of imperfections. With loving kindness we mend the broken pot, giving special care to it's cracks. For it's these cracks that make each Kintsugi unique. Our experiences wear us down, shatter us. While we may want to hide these flaws and ignore our cracks, Kintsugi teaches us that each crack is an honest reminder of our history. Of battles won and lost. Of people loved. Of our successes and failures. And of the quiet faith we must have in ourselves.

 

You are beautiful - it's time to celebrate it! 

 

This weekend was full of connection, growth, renewal, and stepping forward in your life!
