What is Kintsugi Hope – A Journey of Healing and Hope
Kintsugi Hope is a 10 week wellbeing journey that partners with churches across the UK to offer a safe, welcoming space where people can explore emotional, relational, and spiritual health. The name comes from the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with seams of gold. The idea is simple but powerful — when brokenness is mended with care, the scars become part of a new, more beautiful story.
We believe many of us carry inner cracks — anxiety, depression, shame, loneliness, loss — and these often isolate us from others. Kintsugi Hope offers community, compassion and honesty. Through weekly sessions of discussion, videos, prayer, reflection and simple activities, participants can begin to understand and accept themselves, learn tools for resilience, and walk towards hope and healing.
Topics we explore include honesty, anxiety, depression, shame, anger, grief or loss, perfectionism, forgiveness, self-acceptance, healthy relationships and resilience.
Whether you’ve known deep pain or are simply feeling overwhelmed by life’s pressures, you are welcome here. You don’t need counselling credentials or a tidy past — just a willingness to take shelter in community and to trace the scars God is healing.
We hope this could be part of our response as a church: naming suffering, offering connection, building hope. If you — or someone you know — would benefit from a space to be seen and heard, then Kintsugi Hope may be just that place.
