Join me for a special Chinese New Year Kintsugi event culture cuisine special edition to learn what the Chinese Year of the Wood Snake has in-store for us!

Designed to allow you to reflect on the year that was 2024 and to set your intention for 2025. On Sunday 26 January I will host a special mindful Kintsugi session holding space for you to work through your reflections of 2024; the lessons, joys, pain and learnings and to set your intentions for you to Thrive in 2025! We will focus on creating a happy, healthy and successful new year taking the wisdom of the Chinese New Year of the Wood Snake opportunities to leverage a successful 2025!

Kintsugi is a Japanese centuries old art form filled with many philosophical lessons and can be viewed as a metaphor for healing ourselves by embracing our own flaws and imperfections.

Traditional Kintsugi can take months to complete. In this special event I’ll share my contemporary methods to practice and apply on any ceramics that need to be mended to allow you to repair and restore into something unique and resilient rather than dispose of.

This experience includes a curated Authentic Asian lunch designed for prosperity and featuring our delish Dimsum - handmade, preservative and MSG free (dumplings, Springrolls and won ton) as well as a main meal and dessert. ??We are fully licensed and you can enjoy mimosas, artisan beers, SA wines, Chinese beers, sake and soju too!

Booking essential as space is limited. DM/WhatsApp me to secure your seat.
