Kintsugi Grief Center

For a long time, I have been holding the idea of creating a space that feels softer, slower, and more community-centered around grief, healing, and human connection.

Over the years, one of the hardest things I have witnessed in this work is how many people quietly carry loss, loneliness, transition, or emotional pain without spaces that feel safe enough to be seen in. Not group or therapy. Just to be witnessed

Kintsugi Club LA was created from that place.

A gentle community gathering space rooted in connection, reflection, conversation, and support — for those navigating grief, life transitions, healing, or simply longing for more meaningful community.

These gatherings will be low-pressure, grounded, and human. A place to slow down, share space, and remember we are not meant to carry everything alone.

If this resonates with you, I would love for you to join the interest list linked in bio — not only to stay connected, but also to share what kinds of gatherings, support, and community spaces you would like to see created moving forward.

I’m excited to hear for you! Link in bio 💐

Warmly
Vanessa

People often ask me, “How can I support my grieving friend?”

The truth is, it’s usually not complicated — it’s beautifully simple.

Show up.
Sit with them.
Don’t rush to fix it or make the pain disappear. We cannot do this it’s not about fixing …however ..

The friend who can sit with us in the darkness until the light slowly returns — that is a quiet and beautiful kind of love. 🤍

Grief does not need to be solved. It needs presence, safety, and connection. Sometimes the most meaningful thing we can offer another person is simply letting them know they do not have to walk through the darkness alone.
