The process includes:<br \/>\u2022\u2060 \u2060Observation and awareness of fragments and cracks.<br \/>\u2022\u2060 \u2060Preparation and careful assembly of the pieces.<br \/>\u2022\u2060 \u2060Filling and highlighting the imperfections with gold, symbolizing healing and integration.<br \/>\u2022\u2060 \u2060Time to reflect and integrate this experience into one\u2019s own larger story and narrative.<\/p><p>Through this creative and reflective process, participants discover how accepting their own \u201ccracks\u201d contributes to a sense of wholeness, resilience, and inner beauty.
