Repairing pottery.
Rediscovering yourself.
Life shapes each of us in different ways. Some experiences help us grow, while others leave us carrying hurt, uncertainty, or self-doubt.
Inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold instead of discarded, this hands-on workshop invites you to slow down, reflect, and renew.
As you transform a broken ceramic plate, you'll learn practical psychology tools for building resilience, practicing self-compassion, and finding growth through challenges.
This workshop is not meant to be just an art class or group therapy, rather an interactive experience that blends psychology, creativity, and community in a welcoming space.
You'll leave with a one-of-a-kind keepsake and practical tools you can carry with you after the workshop ends.

The experience includes:
A short psychology presentation
Guided reflection exercises
Your own kintsugi-inspired ceramic project to take home

The practical Tools You'll Leave With
By the end of The Art of Resilience, you'll leave with:
A grounding technique to calm your body during stressful moments.
A practice for accepting what you can't change without pretending it's okay or staying stuck fighting it.
A self-compassion practice that helps you respond to yourself with greater kindness.
A framework for understanding growth after adversity and putting words to your own experiences.
A new perspective on resilience that reminds you your scars don't diminish your worth. They become part of your story.
Is this workshop right for me?
This workshop is for anyone who wants to better understand themselves, reflect on your challenges, and spend an afternoon with others creating something meaningful and beautiful with their hands.
Whether you're navigating change, seeking personal growth, or simply looking for a unique experience, you're definitely welcome here!
Note: this is an educational wellness workshop, not psychotherapy.
Sharing is always optional, and you're encouraged to participate at your own comfort level.
Meet Your Facilitator
Hi, I'm Dr. Vy Tran.
I'm a licensed psychologist and the creator of Mind & Maker, a series of interactive workshops that bring psychology to life through creativity, reflection, and meaningful conversation.
I believe personal growth doesn't have to happen only in a therapy office. Sometimes it happens while painting, creating, laughing, connecting with others, and seeing yourself from a new perspective.
My hope is that you'll leave with more than a ceramic keepsake.
I hope you'll leave with a little more compassion for yourself and a renewed appreciation for the story only you can tell :)
