Kintsugi Wellness
Kyoto, Japan
"Made more beautiful for having been broken."
In Japan, there is an art of repairing broken pottery with gold lacquer.
The break is not hidden. It is illuminated.
Made more beautiful for having been broken.
This is Kintsugi. This is our approach to wellness.

"I arrived fractured. Work had broken me. The silence here taught me that my fractures could be beautiful. I left whole, but differently whole — stronger where I was broken."
— Spring Retreat, 2024
"The burnout was total. I couldn't imagine joy again. Ten days of forest, tea, and hot springs reminded me who I was before the world told me who to be."
— Autumn Retreat, 2023
