INVITE INSPIRING REFLECTION
SINGLE DECK
Invite inspiring reflection in your morning practice, yoga class, meeting, 1:1 sessions, group gatherings, or any time you yearn for connection!
For this deck, I have lovingly chosen a collection of words to help you illuminate your vision and values (or what matters deep in your heart), so that you can engage with everyday life — at home, work or play — in empowering, authentic and meaningful ways.
Take some time to reflect and connect!
How will you inspire your connection with life? With yourself? With the people around you?
With Compassion? Laughter? Patience? Humility?
Stillness? Courage? Love?
The artwork for this deck is hand printed (by me!) with gold ink on beautiful handmade recycled paper with a printing block I designed and carved by hand, and a set of custom made rubber stamps.
24 square cards. Shimmery gold on black.
