Given what’s happening in the world, it can be tiring to stay engaged. But if we don’t remain involved in community life and some forms of political organising, then are we being true to ourselves? For me, the ongoing issue is how to stay engaged and maintain some balance in life. Over the years, I’ve benefited from knowing people who have found a deeper source of calm and creativity. They have helped me to both broaden my own activities and continue to engage in societal conversations, through my work on societal disruption, ‘metacrisis’ and collapse. My wish to help other people with similar intentions in this disruptive era moved me to create something I could not have imagined in my previous life – a pack of oracle cards for challenging times.
Some of my friends have found resilience through spiritual teachings, while others learned from surviving various forms of suffering and tragedy. One such friend is Dean Powell, who I play devotional music with. He made a set of oracle cards for our ceremonies. They became helpful daily prompts for me to come back to what’s most important in life. So that inspired me to make a set of cards with him, so we could help others to find more resilience and resolve during challenging times.
The “Resilient Life” cards also integrate some ideas from the frameworks of “Deep Adaptation” and “The Work that Reconnects”. Unlike other oracle cards, they don’t assume, or pretend, that our situations are stable and everything is possible. Instead, they help us find a realistic positivity, whatever the situation.
If you purchase a pack, you can join Dean and I online, along with others who are using the cards. I am looking forward to us all sharing our experiences of cultivating loving and creative responses to difficult situations.
You can purchase a physical pack (from here), with various shipping rates and dates of delivery, or buy an online pack (from Nov 11th) to use on your devices.
The physical packs can make good gifts for engaging friends and family on the subject of metacrisis and collapse in a positive way — where you share your faith in our ability to respond well. So… for Christmas delivery, using normal postage, you will need to buy a physical pack by November 22nd, latest. Yes, soon!.
I thank Suzanna Lebrecht and Ezca Rizqia for the beautiful images and layout.
