UDate : September 12, 2025 

Time: 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM

Place: The Brea Glenbrook Club 1821 E. Greenbriar Lane, Brea, CA 92821

Registration Fee: $75 includes workshop materials (bring your own 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.

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 ten people.
