THE KINTSUGI WAY
Our project seeks to provide a unique, transformative healing experience for survivors of sexual trauma through a carefully curated one-day event. This day will include three key elements: a therapeutic kintsugi workshop, a wholesome shared meal, and a trauma-informed group therapy session focused on teaching coping mechanisms.
