Unlock Creative Breakthroughs with Inspired Innovation
Brainstorming & Ideation decks are tools designed to spark creativity, generate new ideas, and encourage innovative thinking. Each card typically contains prompts, questions, or exercises that challenge users to think outside the box, explore different perspectives, or combine concepts in new ways. These decks are characterized by their ability to disrupt habitual thinking patterns, inspire creative problem-solving, and guide users through structured or unstructured ideation processes. They are flexible tools that can be used individually or in group settings for team collaboration.
Brainstorming & Ideation decks are used by creative professionals, entrepreneurs, designers, teams, and anyone seeking to generate fresh ideas or solve problems creatively. Accessing the decks on your phone makes them more accessible, allowing users to engage with creativity prompts anytime, whether during a brainstorming session, in the middle of a meeting, or when inspiration strikes. The digital format also allows for spontaneous, on-the-go use, making it easier to capture and develop ideas during free moments or collaborate with others remotely.
Brainstorming & Ideation decks are valuable because they provide structured ways to break through creative blocks, inspire new ways of thinking, and encourage ideation in both individual and team settings. They help users approach problems with fresh perspectives, leading to more innovative solutions. As a mobile app, they become even more valuable because users can engage with ideation prompts anytime, anywhere. The app format enhances the experience by offering features like shuffle options, digital note-taking, sharing ideas with collaborators, and reminders to revisit or build on ideas over time, thus fostering continuous creativity.
Brainstorming & Ideation decks are used by drawing cards that offer specific prompts, challenges, or techniques to stimulate new ideas. Users can pull a card to start a creative session, solve a specific problem, or break out of a creative rut. When these decks are available on your phone, they become a portable, always-accessible tool that allows for creativity whenever inspiration strikes. Being digital also makes it easier to share insights with others, store ideas, and revisit them later, enhancing both individual and group ideation processes. The app format encourages ongoing engagement and creative exploration, even during short breaks or in unexpected moments.

JOURNEY THROUGH THE ENCHANTING WORLD OF FAIRY TALES WITH SYMBOLIC WISDOM AND INSIGHT.
SINGLE DECK
Fairy tale metaphoric cards are a tool that uses images and symbols from fairy tales to provide insights into a person's life, emotions, and future. Fairy tale metaphoric cards can be used for a variety of purposes, including self-reflection, decision-making, problem-solving, and spiritual growth. They offer a unique and imaginative way to explore the deeper aspects of our psyche and tap into the collective wisdom of traditional folklore and mythology. They can be an excellent tool for working with both children and adults, providing a creative and engaging activity that can be presented in a game format.
Each of us has an inner child - we were all once children, spontaneous, creative, joyful, curious, and well aware of our desires. However, contact with our inner child can be lost, causing us to miss out on many strong characteristics and joyful opportunities. Fairy tale metaphoric cards can help restore our connection with our inner child and provide a deeper understanding of our desires and motivations. But of course, the benefits of fairy tale metaphoric cards go beyond restoring contact with our inner child. There are lots of articles about the benefits of fairy tale therapy, and the main specific of those cards is that fairytale is a natural, comprehensible and ecological format that does not scare us.
Fairy Tales Deck includes characters, locations, different items (like letter, sword, money chest etc.), animals and other mythical creatures.

FACES DRAWN FROM THE SUBTLE REALMS
SINGLE DECK
Enter a deeper relationship with yourself and the world through the universal language of the human face. The images in this deck were selected from 20 years of work created in the presence of ancient trees, mountains, standing stones, temples, cathedrals, and human wisdom carriers from many lineages. Each face radiates a unique presence. Think of them as allies, nature spirits, beloveds, or visitors from subtle realms. Gaze deeply and explore your relationship with these beings.
Rather than offer written meanings, the guidebook supports you to cultivate your own experience of the cards. It offers ways to select them, lay them out, and enliven them through creative processes. It also includes digital access to a guided meditation with original music. Use it to hold sacred space while you work with the cards. Portals of Presence can be combined with SoulCards 1&2, each deck bringing a new dimension to the other.
“A gift to everyone who will look into infinity through these eyes.” Vicki Robin
“The deck has sacred assignments, for they are instruments of attunement that bridge us to sacred relationships and co-creation with the most intimate forces in life.” Orion Foxwood
“Wonderful windows into the worlds beyond…where wisdom can be sought and exchanged.” Caitlin Matthews
MORE INFORMATION FROM THE GUIDEBOOK
Approach this deck with an open mind and heart. It is not an oracle in the usual sense. It is an invitation to develop relationship with the great community of life. May these faces, drawn from the heart of the world, open portals to the subtle worlds, reminding us of the wholeness within which we reside. Gaze at these beings and allow your experience to unfold.
The Vision for this Deck
The 72 faces in Portals of Presence were selected from among thousands of Touch Drawings I created over twenty years. Each face was drawn in a particular setting: beneath an ancient tree, on a mountaintop, in a sacred temple, before a standing stone, or in the presence of a human soul. As I sat with each of them, I used the process of Touch Drawing https://touchdrawing.com to translate my subtle impressions into the form of a human face. Each face radiates a presence that is both unique and universal.
The face is the most familiar visual pattern in the human psyche. From the moment we are born, we center our world on the faces of the people close to us. As we gaze into their eyes, they gaze back. In mirroring each other, we communicate on a level beyond words. There is mutuality in this meeting.
Can we use this primal visual language to open portals of communion with our own deeper psyche and realms of consciousness beyond our familiar human world? A face in a printed photograph is only ink on paper. Yet we can attune to the presence of the person represented through focusing on the image. The faces on these cards can be used as focal points through which to attune to a more expansive range of consciousness. Think of them as personifications of elemental life forms, ancient wisdom lineages, spiritual allies, or visitors from unfamiliar realms.
There is a mystery that fuels this deck; a sense that unseen beings want to engage with it as a point of contact with our human-centric world. In this time of accelerating challenge on the planet, the possibility of expanding our range of connection can offer hope that we do not have to face our challenges alone. Rather, we are in this predicament because we have lost our sense of communion with life. Use this deck to expand your awareness to your deeper self, subtle realms beyond the familiar human world, and the sentience in all life.
A Larger Context
I have been involved with the teachings of David Spangler for many years. He offers a spiritual perspective that is deeply affirming of the experience of being human. His articulation of the sacredness of life, which he calls Incarnational Spirituality, encompasses an ecological understanding of the subtle realms. This worldview has provided a larger context in which I hold my life and work. Here are some of his thoughts. I hope it will enhance your understanding of this deck:
What is important in working with the subtle dimensions and with subtle allies is a deepening of your sense of being part of a living universe. Although contact and collaboration with the subtle worlds serve an important purpose — and increasingly so as we move into the future —what is equally important is that you re-envision and re-experience who you are.
You are a citizen, a participant, in a community of life, unfolding and thriving in a cosmos that is itself alive. One of the vital lessons arising from taking the time and attention to seek communion with the subtle life around you, is that you can discover yourself deepening into this community. And not only deepening, but being welcomed home. You are discovering the family you are part of, and with it, discovering the power you possess arising from this relationship.
One of the unfortunate consequences of life in our incarnate realms is that conditions of separation and alienation have developed. This is certainly true within the human experience, but it extends into the experiences of other forms of life as well. Barriers come into being that were never intended, but which are the result when different members of the same family forget how to talk to each other. To ignore the life around you or assume, because you cannot see it, that it does not exist is to confine yourselves to an echo chamber in which you only talk with others of your kind. Your world shrinks and you shrink with it.
The world you live in is expansive, and you are expansive as part of it. Achieving communication with a specific subtle being is less important than achieving communion with the community of all life, physical and non-physical, that embraces and holds you. This is a deepening and an opening of the heart to the life in the world around you. Just a simple acknowledgement, with love, of this life is enough to start the key turning that unlocks the door to the wider universe.
—David Spangler, Lorian.org

Children are fascinated with the images, and often verbalize with unexpected wisdom and maturity. The uses of SoulCards are endless!

Transcend the traditional sharing circle and reflection conversation with the power of metaphoric imagery. People often find it easier to express themselves through a picture or symbol rather than through verbal means. Because participants can talk about the object or image rather than about themselves directly, they express thoughts that would otherwise be left unsaid. The thoughts, ideas and connections inspired by the imagery lead to broader and deeper reflection sessions because metaphors and symbols stimulate multiple areas of the brain and involve all senses. This approach can be especially helpful for more introverted or reluctant group members.
This tool is useful for both individual and collaborative reflection and is used in restorative circles and appreciations, group norms conversations, and goal setting.
• Facilitate strong beginnings and optimistic endings to group work or coaching sessions.
• Inspire meaningful engagement, reflection and dialogue that goes beyond traditional verbal techniques.
• Spark creative writing, exploration of personal or group strengths or goals.

Kick Cards are guided prompts, presenting discussions for teams and introspection topics for solo entrepreneurs.
They're suitable for idea sessions and to sharpen thinking - and also as a facilitation, mentoring, and educational tool.
Take a card, explore and build within your team, or pick one just for yourself to consider for the day.
I've tried, tested, iterated and improved them over years of conversations with teams and business owners.
They bring you the topics that should be discussed but often aren't.
