Academy Kintsugi exists to foster the Kintsugi lifestyle toward Culture Care. Academy Kintsugi offers group Kintsugi Experiences where attendees will journey through the mending of a broken vessel guided by an Academy Kintsugi Certified Instructor. The purpose of our Kintsugi Experience is not just to learn how to mend a broken bowl, but to ​‘see’ light through the cracks, begin to rewire our brains to think generatively, and bring healing into our fractured world.

IAM Culture Care partners with Academy Kintsugi to provide ​Kintsugi-Peace Making with the vision to bring generational Kintsugi-Peace to fractured relationships, victims of violence, historical conflict zones, and divided leaderships, where Kintsugi can demonstrate the restorative beauty into New Creation.

Academy Kintsugi is co-founded by Makoto Fujimura and Haejin Shim Fujimura.

Embers International Inc. is a global organization that seeks to (i) protect, restore, and empower victims of injustice, and (ii) catalyze sustainable transformation by creating access to opportunities and resources. Their current operations are strategically focused on helping the mothers and children in India’s slums and red-light districts through critical partnerships with local NGOs.

There is hope for restoration, healing, and empowerment, even in the most desperately challenging life circumstances. When you look at an ember, what do you see? As an ember flickers, we don’t see a fading end to a tiny light; we see the potential of a roaring fire. With a little fanning, a whole new future is possible.

In 2004, Windrider co-founders John and Ed Priddy joined Will Stoller-Lee and Dr. Craig Detweiler, to explore the possibilities of an immersive educational experience at the Sundance Film Festival — with the idea that the Sundance Film Festival could provide a dynamic learning laboratory for students to engage in a cultural dialogue as it takes shape.

To that end, Windrider has grown to serve as a leadership forum, international short film showcase, producer, & content and resource provider to inspire people to create, view and discuss visual media that address life’s ultimate questions.

IAMCultureCare has frequently collaborated with Windrider for its annual Summit at the Sundance Film Festival and with Windrider Productions to create award-winning original content that honors emerging filmmakers and storytellers whose independent voices reflect the human condition with creativity, compassion and respect.
