KINTSUGI x NextJump

Kintsugi Facilitator: Bianca Valencia Criscuolo The art of Kintsugi embodies new beauty made through imperfections. It’s an artistry of mending broken pieces, symbolically representing how brokenness in our lives can transform to places of beauty and power. Instead of hiding chipped and broken parts,when imperfections are pronounced with the gold, symbolizing the light, you behold something that’s more beautiful. It’s an art form of mending to make new. In this Gather, we’ll have an open time to share personal discovery with each other as we apply Kintsugi to a piece we’ve each brought with us. We’ll share a time of personal reflection and beholding through working with our hands. Please do not break things to bring. Instead, look for cracked, chipped, and broken ceramics you already have. No glass, please. NEXT JUMP Next Jump is the company behind Perks at Work, the largest employee perks program in the world and we’ve spent 30+ years building our company culture where everyone is learning and investing in their growth and mission success. We got recognized for our culture as a top learning org and we’ve taken those lessons and funneled them into building a learning community. Every week, we invest in bringing the right people together for unique, shared experiences. Those who join us are invited into the full day - from breakfast and lunch to our Leadership in Practice class, fitness classes, hair salon, and more. Then in the evening, we come together for freshly rolled sushi, custom cocktails, a live DJ, dinner, and a different community-led experience each week.
