Podcasts about Kintsugi

Kintsugi (Kint-soo-gee) is an amazing Japanese style of pottery. It takes the parts of a broken vessel and mends them, using gold to hold the pieces together in an elegant nature. In similar fashion, God restores us in a way that no one else can. Today, Pastor JD helps us see how, as with Kintsugi, God repairs us in a beautiful way.

Jun Morooka teaches the traditional Japanese art of Kintsugi in Sydney. He says it's a technique that not only repairs pottery, but also heals the heart. This story was first published in 2019. - 日本の伝統技術「金継ぎ」をシドニーで教える諸岡淳さん。陶器はもちろん、人の心も治す技術だと話します。2019年に放送されたインタビューをもう一度どうぞ。

05 September 2025 Daily Devotion: "Beautifully Broken" Psalms 147:3 New Living Translation He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. What do you do when something's broken? Depending on what it is, you might attempt to fix it. Maybe you discard it without a second thought. You might feel frustrated that it no longer works the way you want it to work. Brokenness can be a real bummer. Kintsugi is a Japanese art in which broken pottery is repaired with a gold, platinum, or silver lacquer. The brokenness of the piece is highlighted and not hidden; it's celebrated instead of discarded. The brokenness adds more value and beauty tothe piece. It's tempting to want to hide our brokenness and to be ashamed of our scars. In order to live joyfully, we have to understand that Christ makes our brokenness beautiful. He fills in the cracks with His love, and the end result is more precious and beautiful than anything we could have imagined. Immense joy can follow brokenness if we allow Christ to bind us up.

Tegan O'Neill was diagnosed at 27 with Stage I Triple Negative breast cancer. She is a clinical social worker who finds meaning in helping herself and others heal through movement, dance, reading, and writing. In this episode, Tegan reads her essay “Kintsugi” from the 2025 “Hair” issue of Wildfire Journal. Her piece is about experiencing a ritual of burning her own hair—a haunting remnant of chemotherapy—in the company of two close friends. April and Tegan will talk about the alchemy of pain into beauty, being vulnerable with friends, and advice for making rituals.

Frank sits down with James from Distance Nerding to unpack Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 2. They get into the portal arc and what it means for Chris as a character, why Eagly quietly steals the episode, and how James Gunn uses running gags like bird blindness to build heart under the humor. The conversation hits Economos wrestling with anxiety and loyalty, Harcourt's guard-up spiral, Maxwell Lord setup notes, and a few big swing predictions for where the last three episodes could go. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Welcome and intro to James from Distance Nerding 00:41 First reactions and the tone of a bridge episode 01:20 Tim Meadows as Flurry and the bird blindness gag that keeps paying off 02:55 Eagly reminder and the home defense sequence 03:34 Who hunts Eagly and why that matters for stakes 03:54 The portal arc and the pull of a “better life” versus the 11th Street Boys 05:36 Frank's theory that the other world celebrates the wrong heroes 07:16 Economos anxiety, Argus pressure, and found family 08:20 Wanting solitude yet craving connection 09:25 The quiet role Economos plays as a buffer between Argus and Peacemaker 10:49 Harcourt's arc and the “is it nepotism if they are perfect for the part” debate 12:10 Maxwell Lord read and why this version fits the DCU tone 13:08 Little prop clues and what they say about each universe 14:59 Pacing notes and how small scenes plant story markers 16:50 Expecting a tonal pivot in the final three and how it could bridge into the DCU 18:14 Why mature side stories like this hit different than the big icons 19:13 The portal as a what if and a metaphor for avoiding the real work 21:02 A simple I love you that hints at hope in a darker world 22:05 Will Chris ever find peace or accept where he is 24:13 Amelia in the other world and why a perfect version may not be what he wants 25:01 Kintsugi idea and why the cracks are what make Chris care 25:57 Screener cutoff at five episodes and cameo speculation 27:06 Adebayo and Kia under strain and what career first says about her path 27:46 Will Economos choose Argus before choosing his people 28:47 Twilight Zone vibes and a pocket world that looks bright but is not 29:07 Hot take prediction that a certain Rick Flag could show up in a key way 30:12 Senior's revenge focus and Chris facing what he did 31:13 Guilt in the Maxwell Lord interview and the line that haunts him 32:31 Final thoughts plus a quick Alien Earth shout 32:53 Distance Nerding con schedule and Geek Freaks collabs 35:01 Sign off Key Takeaways Peacemaker is sitting in the tension between a tempting escape and the messy work of growth. Running jokes like bird blindness are doing character work, not just easy laughs. Eagly is more than a mascot. Giving him an active threat raises the emotional stakes at home. Economos is the quiet hinge of the team. His anxiety and Argus ties set up a hard choice. Harcourt is pushing people away to avoid being seen. That makes her mirror Chris more than ever. The other universe may celebrate ugly values under a hero banner. That could snap Chris back to who he is now, not who he was. Expect a big tone shift in the last three episodes with room for a surprise cameo that ties personal guilt to resolution. Memorable Quotes “Those callback jokes you think are throwaways keep coming back. It is gold.” “Eagly steals the show. We kind of forgot he is a badass.” “He can see the life he wants through the portal, but he has not dealt with his stuff.” “You cannot hide the body. Your problems keep rolling back out.” “I think the other world might be cheering for the wrong kind of hero.” Call to Action If you enjoyed this breakdown, follow and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

This is a very special episode of the Growing with Purpose podcast. For the first time, longtime host Paul Spiegelman takes the guest seat as he officially passes the torch to new host, Jean Moncrieff. Paul reflects on his transition from leading the Small Giants Community to launching Kintsugi Village, a nonprofit in Detroit dedicated to community, relationships, and innovative education. He and Jean discuss why relationships are everything in business and life, what it means to prepare the next generation of leaders, and how impact is best measured through stories, not just numbers. Together, Paul and Jean explore the themes of transition, purpose, and community — and Paul shares the personal lessons that shaped his leadership journey, from his family influences to the philosophy of “keeping it in the big ring.” It's a thoughtful and inspiring conversation that celebrates Paul's legacy with the Small Giants Community while looking ahead to what's next.

Camilla Taylor, Los Angeles artist, and curator of “My House Burned Down” (at Track16 Gallery), talks about: Her childhood with complicated religious origins, between her Mormon LDS father and her mother who branched off to start her own organization (some might say ‘cult,' per Camilla), and how art, for her and many artists, can often fit the functions that people are often looking for in religions (including being part of something bigger than themselves); how she's really good at compartmentalizing, seeing difficult experiences from her life as existing in rooms in a house, where she can shut the door to any given room; the epic story of experiencing her house burning down in the Eaton Fire in Altadena-- from her 16-hour drive home from the Sitka Center residency in Oregon, to seeing it when she approached her part of the San Gabriel Valley, to arriving home and having the wind lift her off her feet, to their belated evacuation; and subsequently how she found out her and her partner's house, and her studio, had burned down, and that that process of mourning has been like; how trauma has manifested from losing her home and studio, and the range of reactions she's received, including a lot of suggestions that are tone-deaf; what insurance will cover, and the studio spaces she's been loaned/gifted for now, putting off the need for having to rent a studio for the first time (since studios have always been attached to her living spaces). This podcast relies on listener support; please consider becoming a Patreon supporter of the podcast, for as little as $1/month, here: https://www.patreon.com/theconversationpod In the 2nd/Patreon Bonus half of the conversation, Camilla talks about: How, because of her visibility as an artist, she's been more fortunate than many others who lost homes/studios in the fire by receiving a range of resources that artists less visible have not; the lawsuits against Southern California Edison, who allegedly started the Eaton fire; the group show she curated, ‘My House Burned Down,' at Track 16 Gallery, which included four artists who lost their homes in the Eaton fire, and four artists who lost their homes in prior fires, and how the show addressed a commonality in losing one's home as an artist, with an extra emphasis on materiality; how while she doesn't know what the right reaction is, when people learn that her house (and studio) burned down in a fire, she knows that the reaction that she's going to rise above it, like the phoenix from the ashes, is absolutely not the reaction to have, because it's hurtful especially in its negating of what happened to her; and we have an extensive exchange about what I have long referred to as “the P-word,” as in ‘practice, as in ‘my art practice, a word Camilla also hates, and she talks about why language has become so important in art/the art world, including her take that artists overcompensate in art because, essentially, we/art is so unimportant to everyone else; and Camilla shares her favorite and least favorite art-speak words; and how in her teaching she's honest with students about how their work affects her, as opposed to making art historical comparisons.

What do founders get wrong when trying to build a startup? Jeff Gibson, CTO and co-founder at Kintsugi, joins the show to break down how he approaches building around real business problems—not flashy features. Drawing from pre-IPO roles at Atlassian and his journey scaling Kintsugi, Jeff shares why understanding cash flow, revenue mechanics, and operational bottlenecks is critical for building something that lasts. Whether you're a startup founder or tech leader, this one's full of sharp insights on building with purpose.Key Takeaways • Solving “boring” problems can be wildly valuable—if you understand where the money flows • Great businesses start with a clear grasp of what companies actually value, not just what users say they want • Pre-IPO cleanup reveals hidden complexity in compliance, revenue recognition, and internal tooling • Pivoting without a strong North Star leads to wasted cycles; solve for the cause, not just symptoms • Not every successful business needs to be venture scale—but it does need to be viable and focusedTimestamped Highlights 01:17 — What Kintsugi actually does, and why indirect tax is a massive hidden challenge 03:49 — The “pre-IPO cleanup” playbook and how it shaped Jeff's understanding of business systems 06:52 — Why chasing product-market fit is risky if you don't deeply understand the business problem 09:44 — Talking to 100 customers before writing a single line of code 12:57 — The opportunity in low-innovation, high-value spaces (think CRMs, billing, compliance) 16:44 — Niche wins: why a $10M business in a focused segment can be more valuable than chasing unicorn statusQuote of the Episode “You don't want to find a boring problem that's commoditized. You want a boring problem that's valuable.”Resources Mentioned • Kintsugi: https://www.kintsugi.comCall to Action If you found Jeff's insights helpful, follow The Tech Trek for more conversations with builders and leaders shaping the future of tech.

Episode Summary: In this deeply honest episode of The Advancing Women Podcast, we explore what it means to stop hiding the cracks—and start honoring them. Inspired by Leonard Cohen's iconic lyric, “There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in” from his song Anthem (1992), we dig into the cultural and professional pressures that push us all, especially women , toward perfectionism as a form of self-protection. Through the lens of the Japanese art of Kintsugi—the practice of repairing pottery with gold lacquer, which highlights rather than hides breakage—and the concept of “Prove-It-Again” bias coined by sociologist Joan Williams in her book What Works for Women at Work(2014), this episode invites listeners to see their so-called imperfections not as flaws, but as places of power, healing, and light. Host Dr. Kimberly doesn't just speak about vulnerability—she practices it, sharing her own season of struggle and the truth that letting the light in starts with acknowledging - maybe even honoring - the cracks. In this episode, we unpack: The cultural myth of perfectionism—and who it really serves How gender bias reinforces the need to over-perform and under-rest What Kintsugi and Leonard Cohen's Anthem can teach us about resilience Joan Williams' research on the “Prove-It-Again” bias and how it impacts women at work References Williams, Joan C. and Rachel Dempsey.

☞ ABOUT THIS MESSAGE Jim explores the Book of Nehemiah, highlighting resilience and faith. Nehemiah represents the Holy Spirit, showing how God restores and empowers us to face inner battles. Our weaknesses can become strengths when filled with God's grace, much like Kintsugi, the art of repairing pottery with gold. Jim discusses Nehemiah's fight against Sanballat's psychological attacks, urging us to see these as spiritual warfare and to stand firm with God's Word.

"“Kintsugi” is field-recording-based piece honouring both the original sample (from the Hill of the Buddha in Japan) as well as a form of Japanese art. Instead of using lacquer and precious metals to mend broken pieces of pottery, I use sound to bind other field recording samples together while still making that sound part of the design.  "I use the full sample to start and end the piece, with a drone-like part of the original sample as my lacquer throughout, binding field recordings of items I've used in sonic rituals for Summer Solstice 2024, Winter Solstice 2024, Summer Solstice 2025, and the March 2025 total lunar eclipse together as a whole.  "Field recordings of chimes, bowls, and items (jingle bells, seed beads, paintbrush) on a glockenspiel collected by artist in Lansing, MI. Track created in VCVRack2 with reverb, delay, and chorus effects added to field recordings and original sample." Hill of the Buddha, Sapporo reimagined by Stephanie E. Vasko.

832 · Adventures by Disney Japan Recap: Takayama, Shirakawa-go, Tokyo & Kintsugi - Part 2 Every step through Japan tells a story - and this week, I want to share ours. From centuries-old villages to hidden antique shops, we went looking for adventure... and found something even more meaningful.  Japan continues to unfold its magic in Part 2 of our Adventures by Disney to Japan recap, as we travel to the serene mountain town of Takayama, the timeless village of Shirakawa-go, and the vibrant heart of Tokyo. But beyond the destinations, it was the small, unexpected moments that truly defined the journey - the quiet ones, the funny ones, and the ones that took our breath away. From stumbling into a tucked-away backstreet antique shop, to mending broken pottery with gold, to the awkward bravery of stepping into your first onsen... this wasn't just a trip. It was an experience that changed us. It's about the connections we made, the lessons we learned, the memories we'll never forget - and the Adventures by Disney difference.

Azucar sits down with Spoken Word Poet , Curator and Grammy Diva J. Rose. J. Rose lays down wonderful gems about creating a platform, crafting spoken word and organizing life as an artist, host, mother and student.  In Part 2, we explore The Rose Garden Events and the Spoken Word scene in NYC.  Make sure you get your LEGENDS tickets! You will not be disappointed.

On Pentecost, we are in the penultimate message in the series, Teach Em How To Say Goodbye: Jesus' Parting Words to a Community in Transition, which looks at the final discourse of Jesus with his disciples before the whirlwind of his death, resurrection, and ascension. Today, we consider how God might be inviting us to bear witness to beauty and brokenness, as we humbly listen to one another's stories.   [John 14:15-27]   Reflection As we sit together in our own metaphorical upper room, can we pray together that the Holy Spirit would astound us with unexpected beauty? How might God be inviting you to speak into or bear witness to another's beauty and brokenness? How might God be breathing beauty or possibility into the broken places in or around you?

In today's deeply polarizing society, we've become too comfortable with whitewashing—rewriting culture, truth, and identity to fit a more convenient narrative. We're constantly told by con artists, influencers, and marketers that certain things are "normal," when in reality, they're anything but. In this episode of the Wabi Sabi podcast, I felt it was necessary to draw a firm line—to call out where we've compromised and where we've allowed culture to be diluted. I use Matcha as one clear example. If I don't uphold the values of my own heritage—publicly and with conviction—I wouldn't be doing my job as a journalist. This episode is about reclaiming your roots. It's about learning from where you came from, understanding why that matters, and how honoring those truths can actually improve your life. These are free tools and reminders that anyone can use—anytime. And if you're feeling stuck, that's okay. You're not behind. You already hold the keys to unlock your next chapter. Let's get into it.

 Learn how mindfulness and community help us navigate the experience of grief Grief can be a very lonely time for many people. We may feel like we do not want people around or just do not have the energy to talk. On the other hand, many people do not know how to manage being around a person who is grieving.

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.

This episode is for you — the one who's quietly rebuilding, starting over, or holding it together when no one sees the effort. If you've been feeling stuck, overlooked, or unsure of what's next… take a breath. You're not alone. You're doing better than you think. You've survived things most people don't even know about. And no matter where you are on your path — you are allowed to begin again. This week, we're talking about the real, unfiltered lessons that come with growth, reinvention, and protecting your peace. It's a reminder that even in the messiest moments, there's beauty. Even when it's quiet, you're still making progress. You deserve to feel grounded, strong, and proud of how far you've come. Let this episode be a soft place to land.

Kintsugi, a Silicon Valley-based startup that helps companies offload and automate their sales tax compliance, has raised $18 million in new funding led by global indirect tax technology solution provider Vertex.

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.

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!

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. Please join me every Friday in February for a new episode—link in the description!
