Retreat: “Japanese Art of Kintsugi: Embracing Our Imperfections with Grace and Courage”

February 28, 2025 @ 7:00 pm March 1, 2025 @ 4:00 pm America/Iowa

$205 – $225 Commuter and Single Rates

The Japanese art of Kintsugi takes broken pottery and repairs the cracks with gold. These restored bowls, formerly considered worthless, become treasured items of great worth and beauty. During this overnight retreat at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) we will use this art as a symbol of our spiritual life. Our wounds and failures can easily harden into shame and regret. Yet, if we look at our lives through the eyes of grace and compassion, our painful experiences can be transformed into great sources of inspiration, beauty and wisdom. Facilitated by Jean Pagliaro and Julie Connelly, this retreat will include time for creative expression, presentation time, individual reflection and small-group processing.

The cost of this overnight retreat is $225, which includes sessions, art supplies, Friday lodging, and Saturday breakfast and lunch. The commuter fee is $205, which includes sessions, art supplies and Saturday lunch. Click here to register for the retreat.
