Kintsugi: the Japanese art of repairing pottery with lacquer and gold. Scars are highlighted, not disguised. But how do you repair a broken heart? Sentinels protect the heart with vigilant eyes. Within these Guardians, you can research the artifacts of pain, loss, guilt and shame. Each token is a memorial to a heart wrenching story. The Guardians turn these artifacts into bricks used to protect the heart by building a wall around it. But while walls protect, they cannot heal a broken heart. When it is time to heal, we turn to nature. The heart's forest feeds the heart. The larger than- life rotating heart knows what medicine it needs- what medicine you need: love, connection, gratitude. Each tree will help you on your journey.
