About this Event
What if the moments when love breaks open are not only moments of extreme challenge, but invitations to meet a new version of ourselves?
When Love Breaks You Open is a 3-hour immersive experience exploring what becomes possible when we stop asking, “How do I fix this in my relationship?” and become curious about a deeper question:
“What is this relationship revealing, transforming, and asking of me?”
Through guided reflection, open conversation, creativity, and the Japanese art of Kintsugi, we’ll explore the ways our relationships can bring unconscious patterns, beliefs, wounds, and desires to the surface—and how those moments can become catalysts for deeper self-understanding and transformation.
The experience unfolds in two parts:
PART I — CURIOSITY & CONNECTION
We’ll create space to slow down, get curious, and explore what love and heartbreak reveal about us. Through guided prompts, reflection, and open sharing, we’ll consider the stories, patterns, and parts of ourselves that become visible when a relationship challenges us, changes us, or breaks open.
PART II — KINTSUGI & CREATION
We’ll move from reflection into creative practice through Kintsugi—the art of repairing broken pottery with gold. As you create your own piece, you’ll have an opportunity to reflect on your own experiences of rupture, repair, and becoming, while exploring the possibility that what we experience in love can become a catalyst for transformation—revealing parts of ourselves we may not have otherwise discovered.
Whether you’re single, dating, in a relationship, or navigating heartbreak, this experience offers a space to slow down, get curious, and understand yourself more deeply through relationships.
