the heart ritual - forest

Everyone has had to deal with it to a greater or lesser extent. Heartbreak, memories, struggles and emotions that you would rather suppress and that you have not yet made peace with. The Heart Ritual is an earthenware heart with which you can create your own ritual to process this. It gives you the space to feel that pain and emotions, no matter how big or small they are. And to embrace them. Restore your heart with gold according to the Japanese Kintsugi technique and see the cracks as something unique that contributes to your beauty.

Wrap the earthenware heart in cloth (a bogche, the Iranian furoshiki) and then break it with a stone or throw it against the wall. Collect the broken pieces and write on the inside of the shards an event or something that is close to you. Repair the heart with gold as a symbol of healing.

Kintsugi is the ancient Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer sprinkled or mixed with powdered gold. It is believed that the scars add to the beauty of the object, making it a unique work of art. This way of thinking is similar to the Japanese philosophy Wabi Sabi of embracing the flawed or imperfect.

The beautiful packaging makes the Heart Ritual perfect as a gift for yourself or a loved one. Once repaired, the kintsugi heart is also a beautiful item to show what you have overcome.
