Life doesn’t always go the way we expect. Some experiences help us grow, while others leave us hurting, uncertain, or simply trying to make sense of what happened.

Inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi, this workshop is about learning to see repair differently. We don’t have to find a silver lining in everything or convince ourselves that we’re “better because of it.”

Instead, we’ll focus on:

  • Honoring what we’ve been through

  • Accepting where we are even when we don’t understand completely

  • Recognizing that healing and repair are possible

  • Remembering that we’re still whole and valuable, cracks and all

Between work, responsibilities, and never-ending to-do lists, it’s easy to put yourself last.

This workshop is a chance to slow down, reflect, and make a little space for yourself.

Join me in this creative wellness experience in DFW,

because you’re worth the investment.

During this workshop, you'll

  • explore how challenges can shape growth without defining your identity

  • reflect on your own story through guided, meaningful discussion

  • connect with others in a supportive, low-pressure space

  • create a beautiful keepsake to take home and display as a reminder

practical tools 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 for responding to yourself with greater kindness

  • a framework for understanding growth after adversity and putting words to your own experience

Hi there! I'm Dr. Vy Tran, a licensed psychologist and the founder of Mind & Maker, a creative wellness workshop series that combines psychology, arts & crafts, and hands-on curated experiences.

One of the (many) favorite parts of my job is teaching. I love taking psychological concepts that can sometimes feel abstract and turning them into experiences that are practical, engaging, and hopefully fun.

I've also always enjoyed being creative. For me, art fills the gaps where words fall short. It helps me slow down, get out of my head, and be more present.

Over the years, I've realized those same experiences can also create space for reflection, growth, and connection, which is what inspired this specialized arts and craft workshop series.

I chose Kintsugi because I think it captures something really important about being human. We all go through difficult experiences, and while those experiences can leave their mark, they don't make us any less valuable. If anything, they become part of our story.

Through this, I hope you enjoy making something with your hands, be in community with others, and leave feeling just a bit more compassionate toward the parts of your life that aren't totally perfect.

And of course, you'll have a unique piece to take home as a reminder of how special you really are.

Thanks for being here and taking a leap of faith in learning more about yourself :)

I'm really excited to create with you!

With love,

Vy

If you’re looking for meaningful things to do in Fort Worth this weekend, a restorative mindfulness activity in the DFW area, or just a different way to spend an afternoon, this experience offers space to step outside your usual routine.

Rather than a traditional adult art class in North Richland Hills, this hands-on experience brings creative expression together with practical steps towards self-compassion, resilience, and personal growth.

Whether going solo, with friends, or couples, it also offers a thoughtful alternative to the usual dinner-and-drinks date, making it a unique Dallas date idea centered on creativity and connection.
