An intuitively painted deck of 48 Wonder Walking cards for re-connecting to nature and our creativity.
Deck for Connecting To Nature & Creativity
For the wonder-seeking creative soul. The poet. The artist. The eternal child.
Wonder-walking is tremendously healing. It slows us down and urges us to see the magic in our everyday. It reconnects us to the world around us and awakens our creativity.
This is a Deck of Walking Cards.
Use them to inspire your walk in nature, in city streets, in your neighborhood park. Each card in the deck is an invitation to look closer and immerse deeper, not only in the sense of a place, but also to know ourselves in it. How we belong. How it makes us feel. How it heals.
They are archetypal, as all wonder-making experiences are, so you can use them for divination, and as journaling and painting prompts to connect the physical to the primordial.
The Walking Cards in this deck is organized into 4 suits or Realms that loosely correspond to Jungian and Alchemical systems (by accident actually, which is why they're archetypal). The map below shows the 4 Realms and if you look closer, you'll notice that the cards subtly transform in color from one Realm to another. From fresh greens and blues to deep indigos and greys. Since I am a painter, the colors by itself is a symbolic language all its own.
The 4 Realms :
- Wonder & Curiosity : The Physical Realm (Sensing, Earth/Material)
- Magic-Making : The Creative Realm (Intuition, Fire/Passion)
- Truth-Finding : The Inner Realm (Feeling, Water/Unconscious)
- Secret Garden : The Influence Realm (Thinking, Air/Intellect)
The Explorer's Journal of Wonder-Walking is a 120-page, beautifully illustrated, full color journal and guidebook that goes in depth into the practice of Wonder-Walking with detailed card meanings, journal and nature-observation prompts, as well as creative activities to try out in nature.
Draw a card in the wild and let it open up wondrous ways to notice, engage and immerse yourself in nature.
- What do I feel about this place beneath my feet?

- If I were a poet, how would I describe what I'm seeing now?
