I attended the Kintsugi workshop in Tours with Céline. I had a truly wonderful time. It was both creative and deeply meaningful. Here is my bowl. For me, it truly helped reconcile two parts of myself, through these two pieces. I found it very powerful. And thanks to this workshop, I was able to reconnect with a sense of direction. I’ve set a new course for myself and rediscovered a beautiful momentum. I’m very happy I joined this workshop. Thank you, Céline.

Hello, this is Marie. We’ve just finished the Kintsugi workshop with Céline, and what I will take away from this weekend is first one word: transformation. Transformation because, as the hours, moments, rituals, and steps unfold, we move forward, we learn about ourselves, we bring clarity to our path. And the second word would be support. Céline’s attention to detail and all her thoughtful touches make this weekend, and its six steps, warm, uplifting, and deeply kind. I can only recommend it.

Hello everyone, I’ve just completed the Kintsugi workshop here in Tours, and here is my beautiful bowl, which represents the reunification of my cracks, my fractures. It was a wonderful experience. We are truly cared for, supported at every step, and today I feel completely whole again. I leave with this light in my eyes and in my heart. Thank you, thank you.

Hello, I experienced a truly beautiful journey with Céline. It was a wonderful discovery, a deeply personal journey filled with kindness, a certain sense of modesty, and at the same time something very profound. It was beautiful to come together, and there was also a strong sense of sisterhood that felt very special. We were among women. Here is my Kintsugi: a mountain. Thank you, Céline.

Thank you very much for these two days. It was a wonderful experience to create Kintsugi, a part of Japanese culture, while taking in the surroundings. I learned so many things in France, and after returning to Japan, I would like to learn the art of Kintsugi and send you all some photos. Thank you very much for today.
2日間ありがとうございました 教会を見ながら日本の文化の金継ぎを作ることはとてもいい経験になりました フランスでいろいろ学んで 日本に帰ってから金継ぎの技術を学んでまた皆さんに写真を送ります 今日はありがとうございました

“What if the art of Kintsugi could also inspire our companies?” Last June in Angers, Céline Santini led an exceptionally powerful workshop for the Dynabuy Le CEP business clubs of Angers, Tours and Le Mans. It was a suspended moment in time, where every crack became a source of strength and every scar a golden point of light — a beautiful parallel with the life of a leader, made of challenges, rebuilding, and rebirths. Thank you, Céline, for your art, your authenticity, and your transformative energy.”
 

“It was quite an incredible moment ; almost outside reality. A collective introspection, which made it even more powerful. Guided by Celine Santini, an exceptional coach and facilitator, the experience was full of surprises, emotions, smiles, joy, and discoveries! It was truly a beautiful experience, and I’m so glad I lived it. This interlude helped me reflect on my life, my wounds, the bruises and bumps I carry, and transform them. That was the purpose! I turned them into gold, into beauty, into who I am. I’m deeply grateful to have experienced this with Celine, and with the group. Doing this alone, with a book, would have been nothing like the power of the collective, the immersion, the shared energy of two full days. Thank you, Celine.”

“I was truly delighted to take part in this two-day Kintsugi weekend. I loved absolutely everything. Infinite gratitude! Each step was unique and brought me something different. Thank you so much… The group was extraordinary. There was the hands-on practice, the personal growth, the inner return. So much harmony, poetry and gentleness. Meditation, a spiritual dimension; yet at the same time, grounding. It felt like a winning combination, especially with such a wonderful group. And of course, an exceptional facilitator who revealed so much within me.”

It was like a weekend outside of time, peaceful and restorative, with some lovely encounters. It was such a beautiful little group. I’m really happy because I truly feel that this is like a new beginning. Now I’m going home to think about how to put everything into practice, and to reflect on all these cracks, on this gaping hole that has become a source of gold. I’m very happy, and I’m leaving with new projects and feeling really pleased with the way everything was organised as well. It was wonderful.

“Subliming, together as a team!”

“A magnificent discovery of myself… Seeing these two pieces come back together warms my heart. I made it through! It feels like the birth of a new self: different, stronger. Thank you for the sparkles, the magic, the strength growing inside me: one that may now allow me to continue forward, and perhaps pass this strength on to others. Thank you, Céline, from the bottom of my heart.”

Thank you so much to Céline for offering this extraordinary workshop. Thank you to the group, and thank you to everyone. It was magical! And there was so much light, and we are all beautiful lights.

“I found it a great experience, interesting and inspiring — it makes you want to do it again with more time to go deeper.
– Yes, it’s truly calming. We were in the same group. It was lovely, soothing, and beautiful.
– It makes me want to learn more about Japan.
– Personally, I really enjoyed it. A beautiful discovery, aesthetically very pleasing, and symbolically meaningful.
– Ah, it’s powerful!
– It’s a great moment of introspection. I love self-reflection, and this approach was original.
– A wonderful discovery, as the group said. A beautiful metaphor for life.”

“I really enjoyed this experience, first because it helped me discover so much about myself. It offers a space to reflect inwardly. And simply dedicating that time already creates a deep introspective process that helps you move forward. Beyond that, it’s also highly contemplative, aesthetically rich, and truly soothing. In two words: peaceful and introspective.”

“Thank you, Céline, for this moment. I built, deconstructed, and rebuilt my Kintsugi. It was a beautiful interlude,  a precious experience. My intention was to repair and to accept. And I truly feel that I’ve healed certain things and that I can now move forward with trust, which has become something of a mantra for me. The most illuminating moment was the revelation of my artwork and of my inner beauty, which I’m now fully aware of. Everything makes sense… Thank you, it was a very beautiful experience.”

“I loved it. There was so much emotion. I discovered parts of myself that had been buried and were finally expressed. We managed to put words to many feelings and to release what had been heavy. I loved the whole concept. It’s truly beautiful !”

“It was a moment of gathering: between participants, but also within ourselves. And I think it was a success.”

“These two days were pure wonder. Magic, childlike spirit, symbolism, kindness. Something within me was repaired,and something new began.”

“I had the chance to take part in a workshop inspired by an ancestral Japanese art: Kintsugi — the art of repairing a broken bowl by highlighting its cracks with gold. A symbolic way of saying that our wounds, far from diminishing us, can become the most beautiful parts of our story. Celine, who leads this workshop, has turned this ancient craft into a model of emotional repair. Like those bowls, we all have our fractures — moments that broke or marked us. Yet when we look at them with kindness, they can become sources of strength, beauty, and resilience. A beautiful moment, blending introspection, creativity, and gentleness. Everyone left with a unique bowl — a reflection of their own journey. Thank you, Celine, for this soft and powerful interlude. I leave with a richer bowl — and a heart a little more golden.”

“Thank you so much, Celine: everyone absolutely loved it!”

“A moment suspended between gold and light — a wonderful experience I didn’t expect at all. This morning, I had the chance to join a Kintsugi workshop led by Celine Santini, as part of the Femmes de Territoires network gatherings.
I’m still filled with this gentle yet powerful introspection. Everything was there: the harmony of the space, the warmth of the welcome, the light dancing on the walls, and above all, Celine’s generosity — so open, sincere, and attentive. I knew Kintsugi as a technique, but had never considered it as an inner journey. Now, it feels obvious.
Celine guided us through a delicate process where every step carried meaning. You can feel that everything is thought through, yet nothing is rigid. Her approach reflects who she is — beautiful, coherent, inspiring, and never forced.
I leave with a precious object — one I’ll keep secret, as part of the magic — and with a new conviction: our scars don’t need to be erased. They can be revealed. And even become strength.
Thank you, Celine, for this moment of alignment, and for your gentle, luminous presence.”

“Thank you so much, Celine, for this inspiring workshop!”

“Thank you Celine it was perfect!”

“We are delighted to have shared this moment with you. Thank you again for your creativity and your energy!”
 

“We would like to thank Celine Santini for her expertise and support throughout this Kintsugi workshop.”

“Thank you for these two beautiful days! Thank you for creating such a caring space, for shaping a group where we all felt safe, where we could each learn in our own way while benefiting from the collective energy. Thank you so much!”

“On behalf of the Nanotouristes Association, we wish to warmly thank Céline for the beautiful Kintsugi discovery workshop she led during our ‘Faire Ensemble’ Forum. Her kind listening, inspiring guidance, and sensitive pedagogy allowed each participant to experience a creative and deeply symbolic moment.
This workshop offered everyone a precious opportunity to reconnect with themselves through the art of Kintsugi and contributed to making this forum a truly memorable experience. Thank you again, Céline, for your generosity and radiant energy. We hope to collaborate again very soon!”

I feel like this cocoon allowed me to look at things more calmly, more peacefully, and with greater confidence. I don’t yet know how this will unfold in the future, but for now, it feels soothing. Thank you for all the care you put into these two days, and for the sensitivity and grace with which you guided this experience.

“Thank you for this discovery. It makes me want to go further.”

“Thank you for this golden, delicate, and deeply symbolic moment.”

We never really leave, because Kintsugi is only just beginning to reveal its deeper meanings.
I looked at my bowl again and finally understood the significance of its shape… a placenta, with that line connecting the two sides of the bowl. It carries profound meaning for me: what connects us to life, to one another, and to our souls.
Thank you so much for this weekend. Returning to everyday life is not easy, but I feel calmer, nourished, and strengthened by these new insights and teachings.

It was wonderful, filled with poetry and magic, a suspended moment outside of everyday life that did me so much good.
I think I will come back one day, because I deserve to take care of myself. You were so kind, attentive, and caring with all of us, and so generous in every way. We felt truly nurtured and looked after, and that felt wonderful.
From one discovery to the next, I was constantly surprised in the most delightful ways. All my senses were awakened. It was as if my body was finally taking its full place and fully experiencing everything that surrounded it.
Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, for this wonderful weekend and for the joy for life that you infused into it.

Two days immersed in gold, filled with subtlety and beauty. Celine is generous and shares her discoveries with us. Each ritual feels like a touch of magic, inviting reflection and deep integration. Truly a unique experience to live and cherish!

“A beautiful experience and a wonderful life lesson — thank you :)”

Over the course of a weekend, Celine gave me far more than a workshop: she offered a genuine pause beyond time itself, filled with gentleness, magic, and delightful surprises.
With remarkable sensitivity and kindness, she guided me toward a precious encounter: reconnecting with my inner little girl, whom I had neglected for far too long. During those two days, she was free to express herself, to play, to feel safe… and to experience moments she had never known before.
This workshop is a deeply moving and transformative experience. If you are hesitating, I can only encourage you to give yourself this golden bubble outside everyday life. You may be surprised by what reveals itself there.
Celine has the rare gift of creating a space that is both structured and flowing, where every moment feels thoughtfully crafted while still leaving room for emotions, vulnerabilities, and the gradual emergence of an unexpected light.
An experience I wholeheartedly recommend. ✨

“A beautiful discovery. A striking result paired with powerful symbolism. Thank you.”

“Thank you for this workshop. It really makes me want to explore further.”

“Thank you for this thoughtful and caring workshop. Hope to see you again soon.”
