Kintsugi draws on therapeutic and reflective principles, but it is intentionally designed as a retreat experience rather than therapy.

The purpose isn't to diagnose, treat, or fix. The purpose is to create space: space to slow down, notice, create, connect, rest, and consider what you might want to carry forward.

No.

This is one of the most important parts of the experience.

There will be opportunities for reflection and facilitated conversation, but there is absolutely no requirement to share personal experiences, disclose something vulnerable, or process anything in front of the group. This is a time to honor yourself- 

You can participate as deeply or as quietly as feels right for you.

You might journal. You might talk. You might pray or practice meditation. You might take a walk. You might sit with your pottery. You might laugh with other women. You might take a nap.

There is no right way to experience Kintsugi.

There can be—but it is invitational.

The Kintsugi process naturally raises questions about expectations, change, loss, identity, disappointment, resilience, acceptance, and becoming. There may be moments when something feels unexpectedly meaningful. There may be moments when you simply enjoy making something beautiful. There may be moments of laughter. There may be tears. There may be nothing particularly profound at all.

All of it belongs. Nothing needs to be forced.

The retreat will be intentionally limited to no more than 10-12 women.

Smallness matters. It allows the experience to feel intimate without feeling crowded. There is room to know the women you're sharing the weekend with, while still having plenty of space for yourself.

It allows the retreat to feel less like an event and more like an experience we are creating together.

Meals will be nourishing, delicious, and shared. There is something special about sitting around a table with others, without an agenda.

We will make room for good food, conversation, laughter, and the simple pleasure of being cared for.

Most dietary restrictions can be accommodated. Please reach out to inquire about specific needs.
