Prayer as Resistance Conference
March 9, 2023 - March 11, 2023
Contemplative prayer fuels action in the world, and when it is fully rooted in God, leads to a deeper concern for social justice. Come and be empowered to consider a variety of ways in which our justice work might be anchored in the depths of God’s love for us and for our world.

As part of this conference, Amilee and David will be facilitating a Kintsugi Experience on Friday afternoon. See details below:
Title: Brokenness to Beauty: Kintsugi
Time Slot: Friday Workshops #2 & #3, 2-5 p.m. (3 Hours)
Format: In-Person
Description: In this hands-on workshop you will learn about this 400-year-old Japanese craft in the mending of ceramics making beauty from brokenness. A certified instructor from Academy Kintsugi will guide a small group through Kintsugi techniques to equip each participant with the needed skills and materials. Every participant will need to bring with them a broken, cracked, or chipped piece of ceramic — a mug, a bowl, a cup, or a plate. This reflective practice is a powerful experience in seeing how the very cracks in our lives become the places in which new beauty can emerge to nurture a community that seeks to turn brokenness into beauty in our hearts and broader culture. This workshop is only available for in-person participants and partial scholarships are available if needed (to assist with the $45 fee). Please contact info@goldenwoodnyc.org for more information. Note: $45 fee for materials (14 participants max, in-person only)
