Kokoro translates from Japanese to mean “heart” in a broad sense. Heart includes mind, body, spirit, and soul. Kokoro implies wisdom, richness, and meaningfulness in human beings. Kokoro also incorporates the Japanese art of Kintsugi, an ancient art form that repairs broken pottery using gold to fill the broken spaces and cracks. Kintsugi takes something that is broken and imperfect and transforms it into something beautiful and more valuable with all its cracks and flaws.

At The Kokoro Creative Lounge, our mission is to help people work on their soul, heal inner wounds, honor imperfections and create beauty in the fashion of Kintsugi. Through art, we channel and open our hearts to others, expressing our innermost selves and creating meaningful connections with those who join us in the creative process.
