KINTSUGI – the 15th century Japanese art of fixing broken porcelain (something precious) is also referred to as “golden journey.” Porcelain was considered currency, so repairing it with veins of gold in painstaking process made the renewed object more valuable than before it was broken. It is a symbol of resilience. Flaws are honored as a reverence to the transient nature of all things. Transformations are mini ‘deaths’, times of renewal and opportunity after the shock of change is always available to us.
We can use this as a hopeful allegory for healing from our own traumas and breaking through to new states of being and action.
EHIPASSIKO (Pali) – Means “Come and See”. It is the Buddhist philosophy of shedding our cocoons of the ideas of routine understanding of self and truth through personal investigation and direct experience.
Trying on new awareness and grow into new form of our understanding of a more empowered self, more independent of old notions and things that no longer serve achieving our life purpose. This transformation is driven through mindfulness, meditation, and personal effort to develop toward our highest frequency vibration and understanding.
