Just about fifteen years ago, I invited a group of women to my house for a knitting circle. We met one time a month, and as time went on, we began to share our stories. We cried and we laughed ... it was our "Hang Night". I began to dream of a "place" where I could invite these women to be able to get away from their world as they know it. I wanted to provide a way for them to be away from the dirt in their lives, for an hour or a day; a sanctuary away from hurt, fear, the media; a place where their minds could rest enough to be able to express their emotions by using Art as a therapeutic avenue for healing. I want to focus on women who are hurting and heavy with their circumstances; women who have been through the kind of trauma that we don't like to talk about ... the stuff we find hidden under the household "rug" or in the "closet". Each one of us could reach back through the haze of secrecy and shame, and could remember someone in our own family who has been through trauma and pain. The circumstances will vary, of course. Abuse, whether emotional or physical; rejection in every aspect of life's relationships, from the very first time we hopped out of our cocoon to face this world. I want these women to feel they have a safe place to come to, without the dirt of their world, or even the dust. I want them to find a new kind of magical "dust", to enable them to not only pick their heads up, but to open their wings and fly! There is not one individual who can say they have a perfect life; that they are perfect. I believe that I can show these women that, in their brokenness, they are beautiful individuals, who, BECAUSE OF their brokenness, can in turn help other women who are broken. https://www.beautifullybrokeninc.org/our-work daily 0.75 2022-09-23 https://www.beautifullybrokeninc.org/contact-us daily 0.75 2021-06-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b8d8dd3ab2dc7e994db6fb/1624376216560-19BRXQVHGOZTSH9X2PB6/5363.jpeg Contact Us - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.beautifullybrokeninc.org/stories-testimonials daily 0.75 2021-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b8d8dd3ab2dc7e994db6fb/1624904531908-3LR2VQCT52ZLKOF3MPIA/23950.jpeg Stories/Testimonials - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.beautifullybrokeninc.org/home daily 1.0 2021-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b8d8dd3ab2dc7e994db6fb/1624376490210-657EYW67SI1O62TXKPFS/20200919_143027.jpg Home - Mindfulness.

Creating art helps you to release inner tension, calm down, and clarify one’s struggles. Expressing thoughts and emotions visually alongside peers can help people to discover creative ways to solve problems and think through issues constructively. Artistic expression promotes reflection and holistic healing. https://www.beautifullybrokeninc.org/our-partners daily 0.75 2021-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b8d8dd3ab2dc7e994db6fb/1629858878910-QPH7LREQEWU96A0NRMC3/Screen+Shot+2021-08-24+at+8.34.17+PM.png Our Partners - Women’s Bean Project The Women’s Bean Project is a work program with the mission to change women’s lives by providing stepping stones to self-sufficiency through social enterprise. The Women’s Bean Project believes that all women have the power to transform their lives through employment and hires women who are chronically unemployed and teaches them to work by making nourishing products. The program teaches women to stand tall, find their purpose and break the cycle of poverty. Because when you change a woman’s life, you change her family’s life. Beautifully Broken is proud to partner with the Women’s Bean Project to bring art mentoring to women going through the program. Many of the women going through the Women’s Bean Project have experienced trauma and the art therapy offered by Beautifully Broken helps these women heal while providing an outlet for their creative expression. https://www.beautifullybrokeninc.org/take-action daily 0.75 2025-05-13
