Podcasts about Kintsugi

When we grow up, we think we have it all figured out, don't we? We believe we should go to college, get a good job, find our perfect partner, be fit, have a good circle of friends, maybe have kids, etc. All before the age of 35. We have these insane expectations for ourselves and what our lives will be.And then, we learn. Maybe the job or career path we originally selected isn't right for us. Maybe we find ourselves without a partner or kids. Maybe life faced us with health challenges. Whatever it is, life tests our ability to pivot and reinvent ourselves into something new. It's like the Japanese art of Kintsugi. With Kintsugi, Japanese artists take broken pieces of pottery and carefully pour gold into the cracks to put it all back together. So, the bowls that were once broken are now even more beautiful than before. Look it up. Kintsugi is so beautiful even though it is technically broken. It has been made new.During my conversation with my guest today, Nicole Meline, I was reminded about the power of reinvention.

Una crisi, ti cambia, ma come? Un abbandono, una malattia, una rinuncia, un tradimento, una perdita, il tempo che passa e non ti senti felice, e se pensi al tempo che passa, sei infelice ancora di più. Un dolore ti cambia, ma come? Una dipendenza, un figlio che si perde, un amore che si spegne, una fede che si indebolisce, un mondo che ti fa sentire sbagliato. Il “come” è la chiave. Perché una ferita può essere sanata, una frattura riparata. Quelli che erano punti fragili, diventano strumenti di vita nuova. Come nel Kintsugi, l'arte giapponese del restauro che, attraverso l'oro, rende ogni frattura un'opera d'arte. E tutto diventa più forte, e più nuovo, e più bello. “Fragile” è una parola che trae in inganno, porta in sé l'idea della rottura che non si ripara. Cambiamo parola. Vulnerabile, sensibile, unico, speciale. L'arte di rinascere dopo una crisi puoi impararla, e puoi esserlo. In questo podcast ti racconto di chi ha scoperto cos'è, quell'oro. E di come lo abbiamo usato. E di come puoi usarlo anche tu. “L'inizio è sempre oggi” (M.

Manche Krisen zerbrechen uns – und genau darin liegt die Chance. In dieser Folge sprechen Claudia und Rolf über Resilienz, seelische Widerstandskraft und den oft schwierigen Umgang mit persönlichen Rückschlägen. Mit der japanischen Philosophie des Kintsugi – dem Reparieren von Bruchstellen mit Gold – zeigen die beiden, wie du Verletzungen nicht verstecken, sondern bewusst in dein Leben integrieren kannst. Warum Fehler kein Makel sind, sondern Teil deiner Geschichte. Und warum es oft reicht, einfach da zu sein – ohne zu bewerten.

Vi utforsker det japanske konseptet kintsugi – kunsten å reparere knust keramikk med gull, og hvordan dette symboliserer skjønnheten i det uperfekte og det reparerte. Vi trekker paralleller til Ghiblifilmer, hvor karakterer ofte bærer spor av tap, traumer og ødeleggelse, men samtidig fylles med håp, heling og ny mening.

Welcome back to the Wabi Sabi podcast. Today, we honor the life and legacy of Pope Francis — a true bridge builder, a humble servant, and a radiant light in a time when the world often feels broken. In the spirit of kintsugi — the Japanese art of repairing what is broken with gold — we'll reflect on how hope, healing, and compassion still shine through our fractures. Pope Francis taught us that even in our most fragile moments, there is beauty, unity, and the chance to begin again. Let's take this time together to remember his example, and to rediscover the light that still lives within all of us.

In der japanischen Kultur gilt das Reparieren von zerbrochener Keramik als Kunstform. Anstatt Schäden zu verstecken, werden sie betont und erzeugen so eine eigene Ästhetik. Mit "Kitsungi" erscheint ein Spiel, bei dem die Spieler zerbrochene Keramik reparieren und so einzigartige Kunstwerke erschaffen. Wir haben uns unter die kunstvollen Reparateure gemischt und sagen euch, wie erfolgreich wir waren.

Let's be real—life falls apart sometimes. But here's the good news: in Japan, we don't toss the broken stuff—we gold it. This week on Wabi Sabi, I'm diving into the art of kintsugi and how those so-called “cracks” in your life can actually lead you to your ikigai—your purpose, your why, your get-out-of-bed-and-make-matcha energy. We'll talk breakups, burnout, identity shifts, and how feeling “off” can actually be the beginning of something beautiful. It's not about having it all together—it's about loving your flaws, laughing at the mess, and finding your path anyway. This is your permission slip to be a little broken, a little fabulous, and a lot more you.

"Beholding is a countercultural act—it requires us to stop, to receive, and to fully see.” — Makoto Fujimura"Slow art is an invitation to linger, to notice, and to let the world unfold before us." — Makoto FujimuraYou are a beautiful masterpiece. But the practice of living artfully comes slowly, often through brokenness, weakness, or failure. Contemporary artist Makoto Fujimura integrates traditional Japanese styles with abstract expressionism and Christian theology, to explore the beauty that can emerge from the ashes pain and suffering. Both his art and his writing call us to behold the gift of creation, participate in its redemption, accentuating the cracks and fractures in our lives, so that grace might abound.Makoto Fujimura—renowned artist, writer, and theologian—joins Dr. Pam King to explore the deep connections between art, faith, and flourishing. Fujimura shares how his Japanese heritage and study of traditional Nihonga painting have shaped his understanding of creativity as a sacred act. Through themes of brokenness, beauty, and slow art, he challenges us to rethink success, embrace imperfection, and create from a place of love and abundance. Whether you're an artist, a person of faith, or someone seeking meaning in a hurried world, this conversation will invite you to slow down, behold, and embrace the mystery and beauty of life.Mako Fujimura integrates his artmaking, theology, and culture care advocacy into a beautiful expression of thriving and spiritual health. Through his breathtaking expressionist style, distinctively Japanese methods, and his rooted Christian convictions, he's bringing beauty into being, and inviting us to do the same.In this conversation with Mako Fujimura, we discuss:What art is, what creativity means, and the human capacity for making beautyHow we can live artfully through imperfection, brokenness, trauma, and sufferingHow the practice of a gift economy can lead to mutual thrivingThe slow art of pausing, stopping, and beholding that contributes to our mental and spiritual healthAnd the connection between knowledge and love in a life of creativity and artmaking.Helpful Links and ResourcesFollow Makoto Fujimura on X @iamfujimuraView Mako's art at makotofujimura.comMakoto Fujimura's WritingsMakoto Fujimura's BooksNihonga Art and its TraditionsRefractions: A Journey of Art, Faith, & CultureCulture Care: Reconnecting with Beauty for Our Common LifeSilence and Beauty: Hidden Faith Born of SufferingArt and Faith: A Theology of MakingEpisode Highlights"Art is fundamentally what human beings create—it is our capacity to make, and in making, we come to know.""Beholding is a countercultural act—it requires us to stop, to receive, and to fully see.”"We worship a wounded, glorified human being—our brokenness is not something to escape but something to offer.""Creativity is not about self-expression alone—it is about giving yourself away in love.""Slow art is an invitation to linger, to notice, and to let the world unfold before us."Show NotesMakoto Fujimura discusses the intersection of art, faith, and flourishingThe importance of beholding in a fast-paced worldHow brokenness and imperfection reveal deeper beautyNihonga painting and the wisdom of traditional Japanese artCreativity as an act of love and gift-givingThe Art of BeholdingWhy slowing down is essential for creativity and spiritual growthThe practice of beholding as a way of seeing the world more deeplyHow art invites us to be present and pay attentionThe connection between contemplation, creativity, and flourishing"Beholding is a countercultural act—it requires us to stop, to receive, and to fully see."Creativity, Faith, and Human FlourishingHow art and faith are intertwined in human thrivingThe spiritual discipline of making and creatingWhy true knowledge is connected to love and experience"Art is fundamentally what human beings create—it is our capacity to make, and in making, we come to know."How community fosters creativity and growthBrokenness, Beauty, and the Theology of MakingThe Japanese tradition of Kintsugi and embracing imperfectionHow Jesus' wounds and resurrection shape our view of brokennessThe gift economy vs. the transactional economy in art"We worship a wounded, glorified human being—our brokenness is not something to escape but something to offer."Learning to see beauty in what is discarded or overlookedThe Practice of Slow ArtWhy slowing down is essential for deep engagement with artHow layers in Nihonga painting reveal new depths over time"Slow art is an invitation to linger, to notice, and to let the world unfold before us."How slowing down fosters healing and deeper connectionThe role of patience and attentiveness in both art and lifeLiving a Creative and Generous LifeHow to cultivate creativity in daily life, even outside traditional artsThe role of community in sustaining creative workWhy generosity and self-giving are essential to true creativity"Creativity is not about self-expression alone—it is about giving yourself away in love."Practical steps for integrating creativity into everyday livingPam King's Key TakeawaysWhether you think of yourself as artist, we're all creative. Mako's message is intentionally not just for artists, but is an invitation for all of us to live artfully—no matter what we do for a living.Because creativity comes in so many different ways, from leadership, to scientific research, to parenting, to cooking, we all have the daily creative capacity to add beauty to the world.And to that end, remember your first love, the playfulness and creativity of giving beauty to the worldA gift economy of beauty offers a radical resistance to consumerism, competition, and comparison.Art and the making of beauty is a part of thriving. And the invitation to live artfully starts with a daily practice of slowing down: pause, stop, and behold. Smell the roses. Consider the lilies.And finally, there's a path to beauty through brokenness. Grace comes to us through failure. And strength is made perfect in weakness.And finally, though the wind may be blowing through our lives, may we all learn to behold the moonlight leaking between the roof planks.About Makoto FujimuraContemporary artist Makoto Fujimura is a painter, an author, a speaker, and an imaginative maker with a gift for theological integration.Mako's message is intentionally not just for artists, because creativity comes in so many different ways, from leadership, to scientific research, to parenting, to cooking, we all have the daily creative capacity to add beauty to the world. Working out of his Princeton, New Jersey studio, his work has been described by David Brooks as “a small rebellion against the quickening of time.” Art critic Robert Kushner placed Mako's art at the forefront of a contemporary movement about “hope, healing, redemption, and refuge, while maintaining visual sophistication and intellectual integrity.”A blend of fine art and abstract expressionism, Mako describes his work as “slow art,” being influenced directly by the distinctively Japanese Nihonga style, which is patient and methodical, using slow drying pigments from ground minerals.Mako's art has been featured in galleries and museums around the world, as well as notable collections in The Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, The Huntington Library in California, and the Tikotin Museum in Israel.From 2012 to 2017, he served as vision director of the Brehm Center here at Fuller Theological Seminary.Mako is the author of several books, including Refractions: A Journey of Art, Faith, & Culture, Culture Care: Reconnecting with Beauty for Our Common Life, and Silence and Beauty: Hidden Faith Born of Suffering. His most recent is entitled Art and Faith: A Theology of Making. And his next book will be available soon—titled, Art Is: A Journey into the Light. And with his wife Haejin, he's producing a new work on Beauty and Justice.Follow him on X @iamfujimura, and view his beautiful work at makotofujimura.com.

Hey friend, I know I've been a bit MIA from the pod these past few weeks, and I truly appreciate your patience. Life has its seasons, and sometimes we walk through chapters that aren't ready to be shared—yet. What I can say is this: we're all on our own unique path, and you never really know what someone else is going through. That's why it's more important than ever to lead with compassion. Everyone—everyone—is doing their best with what they have. When we start from that belief, we shift the way we see the world. We soften. We open. We allow more grace in. Today we will also be doing just a round up of recent events and little notes that you've all sent my way... Today's episode is a gentle reminder to pause. To take care of yourself. To give back to your community, even in small, quiet ways. To rest. To breathe. To do the little things that bring you peace. As one of my favorite monks once told me in Japan: "Bochi bochi ganbatte." Step by step, do your best. We'll also explore some perspectives from the Kintsugi documentary—how we mend, how we shift, and how we prepare for change in this ever-evolving world. And always remember: Wabi Sabi is about embracing the beauty in imperfection. Life isn't meant to be polished. It's meant to be real. So don't stress too much. You're doing better than you think. Let's begin.

Sometimes healing doesn't mean trying to erase the past, but honoring it — cracks and all. In this episode, artist Naoko Fukumaru shares her deeply personal story of transformation through kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery or ceramics with lacquer and gold or silver powder to highlight the fractures and seams. She and host Brian Lowery explore what it means to mend — not just objects, but spirit — and why the most broken parts of us may be the most beautiful.For more on Naoko Fukumaru visit naokofukumaru.com, and for more on Brian Lowery and the show, check out knowwhatyousee.com.

It's time for church leaders and believers to stop offering prettily packaged responses from a safe distance. It's time for us to sit in the ashes with the hurting, our Sunday clothes covered in dirt and grime, our faces lined with tears. Trauma brings people to the ash heap, so that is where the church needs to go.The church should serve as a refuge for people in pain. And yet, we often end up unintentionally causing more hurt to trauma survivors. Theological platitudes and positive thinking aren't simply dismissive to those who suffer, but they inevitably retraumatize the wounded. Does the Bible have anything practical to offer for church leaders as they engage the pain in their congregations?Biblical scholar Michelle Keener shows us that the book of Job provides embodied and practical answers for the church today. In this incredible tool for ministry leaders and trauma survivors alike, Keener offers:deep wisdom at the intersection of trauma theory and the book of Job for Christian communitiesreflection questions for ministry practitioners and those walking alongside those who have experienced traumaengagement with the idea of a shattered worldview and how to overcome the effects of that experience.Comfort in the Ashes helps leaders navigate their own trauma and gives practical guidance for supporting others whose worlds are falling apart. God meets us in our ashes and our pain. It's time for the church to do the same.1. You define trauma as a response to an event and not the event itself. Why is it important that events are not defined as trauma?2. In your book, you reference Judith's Herman's Three Stages of Recovery. What is it and why did you use Herman's concept?3. On page 49-51 you mention how it is common for people to present with Denial, Avoidance, and Shock as a standardresponse. However, this can lead friends and family to confuse their presentation with maturity or faithfulness, can you share more about that?4. In several places you insightfully point to the inner conflict of Job's friends. How does trauma challenge our ordinaryassumptions of how the world works? Can you also say moreabout The Retribution Principle?5. Toward the end of the book you mention how God comes to Job in his ashes. Why is this important for those who are desperate for hope?6. You mention the art of Kintsugi, how can this concept help us understand the trauma healing process?

In this episode of Becoming Witchy, we talk about the transformative power of mending — both in objects and in our own lives, as well as its potential to be used in spellcraft. As a conservator, I've witnessed the inherent magic of piecing together what was once broken, drawing parallels to the healing that comes from repairing our hearts and relationships. From the ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi to the symbolic strength of reforged swords in myth and legend, this episode is a reflection on how repair can be a potent act of resilience, renewal, and magic.Support the creation of the podcast on Patreon!

Anima a dejar atrás el resentimiento y abrazar el perdón como un camino hacia la paz y la armonía en las relaciones interpersonales y con Dios. En general,es un llamado a la restauración espiritual y emocional a través de la reconciliación y el perdón.

En este episodio de El Artesano, Pablo Ortiz de Zárate nos lleva a Japón para explorar tres conceptos clave de su arte y filosofía: wabi-sabi, kintsugi y kawaii. Aunque estos términos puedan sonar extraños, son herramientas que nos enseñan a abrazar la imperfección y la fragilidad en nuestras vidas cotidianas. Descubrimos cómo el wabi-sabi celebra la belleza de lo simple y lo imperfecto, cómo el kintsugi transforma las cicatrices de un objeto roto en un símbolo de fortaleza, y cómo el fenómeno kawaii refleja la necesidad de recuperar la inocencia y la fragilidad en el agobiante mundo adulto.

Welcome to this episode of the Wabi Sabi podcast! Today, we dive deep into the powerful and inspiring reviews you've shared with us about what you took away from the Kintsugi documentary. Your feedback has been nothing short of amazing, and I can't wait to reflect on it with you. Have you ever felt like giving up on your dreams? I know I have. In today's episode, I'll be sharing some personal insights on how I've shifted my perspective, shaped my future, and kept pushing forward—even when there was no immediate reward and when others doubted me. These are not easy stories to share, especially when faced with negative comments or criticism—because yes, it happens. But through it all, I've learned one crucial thing: the moment an artist stops pursuing their dream is the moment that dream dies. I'm here to remind you to keep going, no matter what. Thank you for listening and if you love the show, don't forget to leave us a five-star review to help keep this free, public service podcast alive. xx Candice

Today, we're diving deep into the timeless philosophy of Kakugo—resolution, determination, and the clarity of purpose in our lives. Kakugo is about setting intentions and committing fully to them, much like the monks high in the mountains who dedicate themselves to a life of service, simplicity, and profound mindfulness. In today's episode, we'll explore how we can learn from those who have walked the path before us—from the wisdom of these monks to the lessons hidden in the unfiltered messages of children. We'll also take a closer look at the Kintsugi documentary, which captures the essence of Japanese spirit, and how it all ties back to the powerful practice of Kintsugi. If you've seen Kintsugi, the limited series I created that aired on NHK World, you'll recognize how the art of golden repair teaches us that our brokenness, our flaws, and our scars aren't just things to hide, but something to embrace. They become the gold that strengthens us, propels us forward, and makes us whole again. In a world where so many of us are battling feelings of anxiety and hopelessness, these ancient practices offer us the tools we need to mend, to grow, and to find peace. How can we be better individuals, and better people, by applying these lessons from the past to our everyday lives in the present? Let's talk about how we can incorporate these teachings into our daily practice and open our hearts to the beautiful brokenness of being human. Thank you for joining me. Let's explore this journey of healing, transformation, and discovering your own path to resilience. x ck

In Japanese culture, there are many subtle practices that help cultivate humility, kindness, love, and softness, even in the midst of a turbulent world. Japan, having endured natural disasters and war, serves as a living work of art. The philosophy of Kintsugi teaches us that the cracks—whether from atomic bombs, earthquakes, or tsunamis—represent both pain and resilience. The Japanese people embody gaman, the ability to endure and persevere. We learn to rise, rebuild, and heal. In this episode, I'm excited to share insights from my documentary Kintsugi, and some valuable lessons we've learned along the way to help you mend, heal, and restore your own life. Thank you for listening. If you enjoyed this podcast, please consider leaving a five-star review and sharing it with a friend. With love, Candice

Hi friends! Today I want to share a little about Kintsugi—the ancient Japanese art of golden repair—and how it can transform our pain into something meaningful. In my docu-series, Kintsugi, we dive into this philosophy as I travel through Japan, tracing the footsteps of my grandfather and discovering how brokenness, much like the cracks in pottery, can be healed and made even more beautiful. It's about embracing your past, finding strength in what you've been through, and letting the light of love and hope guide you forward. In a world that feels heavy, Kintsugi reminds us that we can turn our struggles into superpowers. If you're ready for a deep dive into this philosophy, check out the Kintsugi docu-series on YouTube, and don't forget to subscribe to our podcast for more reflections on finding peace, healing, and beauty in our lives.

The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2025/01/binary-system-podcast-443-arcane-star-trek-lower-decks-and-bojack-horseman/ Wow, we've got a real rhythm going with these posts! We're back again this week to discuss the second-to-last episode (ever!) of Arcane. What can we say about this show that we haven't said before? It's beautiful, it's terrifying, it's powerful, it's violent. We finally get the backstory on what's been happening with Mel, but we still don't have a handle on exactly what she is now, or how her mother's been lying this entire time. (SPOILERS!) Oh, and Vi and Caitlyn have sex. Finally! We're also still talking about Bojack Horseman, this time about the nature of apologies and how they don't, by themselves, actually fix anything. But first we have to get to Star Trek: Lower Decks, specifically Season 2 episode 9, which has instantly become Kathryn's favorite episode. We get to see the lower decks crew of not one, not even three, but five different spaceships, in an episode that isn't afraid to ask "What does the awkward, eager-beaver, go-getter ensign look like when they're in a crew of Vulcans? Or Klingons?" This week's outro is a clip from Battle Glitch Bot by TeknoAXE.  We didn't get the pronunciation right, but the Japanese artform that involves fixing pottery with gold is called Kintsugi.

In ancient Japan, there existed a practice called Kintsugi. It was the binding of a broken object back together using precious metals. In the fractured society we live in today, is there a chance to bind it back together? And if so, what would the precious metal be that could make it into a work of Kintsugi? ------- Read the first 5 Chapters of my upcoming fictional epic - Fractures: Fractures Preview Sign up for the Pre-Launch Kickstarter to get notified when it goes LIVE: Fractures Pre-Launch Page Follow my Author's page on Instagram: @drew.w.author Tell me what you thought of the show!

This is a “how to” on surviving a divorce for your best benefit. For Stacie Shifflett, the implosion of her 28-year marriage felt like shattering into a million pieces. She likened herself to Humpty Dumpty, wondering how she would ever put herself back together. Stacie's story offers a road map for everyone going through the dissolution of a marriage. Stacie's journey began with the shock and grief of her marriage ending. Despite initiating the divorce, she never imagined it would happen. The loss of a long-term commitment and the future she had envisioned left her feeling anchorless and broken. She needed to find a way to heal. Stacie uses the metaphor of Kintsugi to describe her healing process.In Kintsugi, broken pottery is repaired with gold, making it more beautiful and stronger than before. Stacey saw her life in the same way – as an opportunity to rebuild with intention and grace. Stacie's path to healing integrated the concept of the present moment, learning about human nature, exploring her emotions, and expanding her perspective. She also focused on forgiveness and compassion. She learned to give grace to others and herself, recognizing that everyone is doing the best they can at any given moment. This shift in perspective allowed her to release her anger and resentment, paving the way for true healing. Stacie's evolution to a life of mindfulness and peace offers hope and inspiration to anyone facing similar challenges. By embracing the art of Kintsugi and rebuilding with intention, we can all create a more beautiful and resilient life.   What they're saying:   “This is a beautiful book about life, its imperfections, its challenges, and its joys. It is a book of hope and wisdom for all of us facing a bump in the road.” –Pragito Dove   “Pat has woven together beautiful stories of life setbacks that have been transformed into spiritual growth.

Kintsugi is the traditional Japanese art of repairing ceramics with lacquer and gold dust. The idea is to highlight the imperfections of a piece and celebrate its new form, rather than hide its chips and cracks. Artist Naoko Fukumaru wasn’t initially interested in kintsugi — as a conservator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Detroit Institute of Arts and other institutions, she was focused on rendering imperfections invisible. But after the collapse of her marriage following her move to Canada, she began to appreciate the message of resilience and reinvention that are fundamental to the practice. Fukumaru’s first solo kintsugi exhibition in the U.S. is currently on display at the Portland Japanese Garden and runs through Jan. 27. She joins us to talk more about the exhibit and the message she hopes visitors take from it.

Join me, Dr. BethAnn Kapansky Wright, as we explore November's transformative energy theme, "Focus on the Light," through the lens of the Akashic Records. In this episode of Heart Magic, we reflect on the art of Kintsugi, celebrating the power of our imperfections to create something more beautiful and nuanced. Building on October's empowering theme, we delve into the impact of our individual light, the ripple effects of our awakened hearts, and the possibility of a collective heart chakra awakening. Together, we recognize how each of us contributes to the harmony of the systems around us.With November's Scorpio energy inviting us to seek light in darkness, we journey through profound transformation and expansion. The Scorpio new moon at the beginning of the month sets the stage for new beginnings, urging thoughtful responses rather than reactive actions to world events. As the month unfolds, the first quarter moon offers a moment for reflection, while the full moon in Taurus encourages grounding and the celebration of tangible manifestations. By cherishing life's simple pleasures and creating everyday magic, we enhance our connection to the world around us, fostering personal growth and a collective focus on light.Don't miss next week's Talk Story episode, where I share passages from my books and the inspirations behind them.

Invité a Lesslie Polinesia para hablar de los mitos que hay alrededor de ser mamá soltera, cómo fue vivir un embarazo NO planeado, cómo ha sido su proceso de evolución personal, qué pasa cuando renuncias a la idea de “familia perfecta”, cómo poner límites a tu familia respecto a la crianza de tus hij@s, cómo transformar el dolor en sabiduría y dejar de medirnos conforme a las expectativas del otro, porqué ella busca “el equilibrio” en vez de “la felicidad” y también me dio todos los detalles de su libro “KINTSUGI”. ¡Cuéntame en los comentarios qué te pareció el capítulo!
