This deck of 52 Mini Cards are made from the artwork of Heather Brewster. They were used palettes, recycled into little paintings - a signature style for Heather. Each painting has a deeper meaning as per the title, perfect for daily inspiration.

This card deck is by David Spangler with illustrations by Deva Berg. It has 27 cards, 16 of which symbolically represent the process by which the Soul takes incarnation and the generic stages by which many things take form. These core Stage Cards may be used as visual aids to assist in your incarnational work, inner attunements and spiritual practice. The 11 other cards represent Principles and Conditions. When these are added to the Stage cards, an oracular deck is created which can give a snapshot of your incarnation. Tapping into a source of intuition and inner perception in this way may help you in the manifestation of projects. The cards are accompanied by a 136 page downloadable PDF manual of instructions and exercises.

Looking through the lens of diverse, unfamiliar and unknown places, cultures and people sparks your sense of wonder, curiosity and imagination. What you see, feel, realize and understand shifts the way you perceive your leadership challenges and solutions. This shift helps you navigate the unruly noise, confusion and chaos of unprecedented - Epic - change.
Each travel image opens your eyes to different points of view and multi-faceted ways of experiencing clarity, resilience, and inspired action.

What you see, feel, think and sense ignites sudden unexpected insights, innovative ideas, and viable next steps.

This assists you in generating creative solutions, remedying critical situations, and resolving the unresolved.

The Transformational Travel Wisdom you glean from each photo illuminates an Essence of Epic Leadership — a compelling, effective and regenerative way to move with grace and ease into the liberating expansion of who you are as an Epic Leader.

Welcome to the Epic Leadership Journeys: Transformational Travel Wisdom experience.

Because…
“We can’t navigate epic change, its challenges, and the unknown territory ahead unless ‘our come from’ is Epic.” ~Sylvia Warren, MBA | Epic Leadership Coach

And…
As Albert Einstein said: “No problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it. We must learn to see the world.”

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.
