We ran this service last year, very much as an experiment. The feedback was so positive that we will be holding it again this year. All are welcome, especially those for whom Christmas is not an easy season for whatever reason, especially bereavement or loss.

Kintsugi is the Japanese word for golden glue and has become a fashionable alternative to repairing broken ceramics. The golden glue makes a feature of the damage to the ceramic, and every item repaired in this way is unique. In some ways, our lives can be like broken ceramics, in that life throws various challenges at each one of us, and we can be scarred through the process.

The aim of the course is to understand that beauty can come out of the challenges we have faced and scars that we carry around with us.

Oakes Baptist Church will be running a Kintsugi Hope Group of up to 8 participants (along with leaders), which is a safe and supportive space for anyone who feels or has felt overwhelmed, providing tools for self-management.

The course will commence on the week of 22nd September 2025 and will run for 12 weeks. Sessions will run for approximately 90 minutes each week.

Come and join us on this 12 week journey as we explore how to maintain positive mental and emotional well-being in the midst of our busy lives.
