Description

From Broadway to blacksmithing to divorce, death and Dubai, Annelies Gentile is no stranger to change. Through the fire, she's learned to be resilient. Today she's a pioneer thought-leader with a presence-based approach to coaching, helping professionals navigate change, mindfully, creatively and successfully. Having traveled 22 countries and 47 US states for business and pleasure, Annelies discovered that most people want the same three things: to be heard, to feel safe and to hold a sense of belonging. How we get there is what triggers conflict and separation. Getting comfortable with what’s uncomfortable is important and matters to all of us. Our Kintsugi Healing event is one of many of the celebrations of change that Annelies will guide us through here on our farm in Garner. We all need reminders to stay optimistic. No matter how complicated life gets it's important to celebrate the flaws and missteps of life as a part of its beauty not to hide them away. The precious nature of gold used to fuse pieces together signifies the strength, confidence and value encouraged to transform our own breaks into valuable unique marks of beauty. It is important that the method of repair in kintsugi is gold — strong, but beautiful at the same time, and most importantly, noticeable. The essence of Kintsugi is about recognizing the beauty in the broken and the unbroken. Join us as we explore the 15th-Century practice of Kintsugi, meaning “to join with gold” with Annelies.
