The ancient Japanese philosophy of Kintsugi, repairing broken pottery pieces with gold, entrusts an artist to reimagine damaged creations by highlighting the originals "scars" as if they were an intentional part of the design...
Using Kintsugi as a metaphor for healing ourselves teaches us an important lesson: Sometimes, in the process of repairing things that have broken, we actually create something more unique, beautiful and resilient. Although, unlike most pottery, as we evolve... many "artists" have the opportunity to help us reimagine, reshape and then reassemble us into our best selves.
While certainly not a comprehensive list, you'd be here a while... we consider this a sampling of our favorite "artists". In fact, through their lived experiences and what some might call "radical" insights - shared through a song, a meal, a book or just a quote, they have inspired us to shift and then elevate our own personal narratives... empowering us to fill our mind, body and soul with gold.... or in fact reimagine our own golden evolution.
"but, without the presence of imperfections, the wonders of the world would not be so breathtaking..."
