A grounded yet enchanted, whimsical yet practical deck and guidebook set designed to offer support and guidance to anyone seeking to live an empowered, creative, and resilient life, from celebrated cut-paper artist Maude White.Resilience Alchemy operates under a simple principle: In order to feel healthy and fulfilled, we might sometimes wish to rearrange and rethink certain aspects of our lives. Resilience Alchemy provides us with a toolset of ideas to help us do this rearranging and rethinking. Through the arrangement and combination of the cards in this deck, the alchemy of the system occurs. Each card is specially designed and chosen to help us in unique and innovative ways. Whenever you find yourself unsure, expanding, struggling, or needing to ask tough questions, Resilience Alchemy is here to help you generate new answers and find innovative and empowering avenues forward in your life. Deluxe set: This set includes 83 beautiful cards (3 x 5 inches); a 224-page, fully illustrated guidebook (4 3/4 x 6 inches); and a keepsake magnetic closure box. Breathtaking cut paper artwork by Maude White: The entire set is gorgeously illustrated in Maude White's signature cut-paper style against a beautiful spectrum of soothing colors. Immersive workbook to guide your practice: Within the workbook, each element of the 83-part system (divided among the Sisterhood, Remedies, and Gifts) is explored with journaling prompts, thoughtful exercise ideas, sample card spreads, and space to make the workbook useful and relevant in the user's life. Unique, powerful system: The Resilience Alchemy system is based on the idea that in order to be empowered and resilient we must sometimes rearrange and rethink certain aspects of our lives. This set provides us with the toolkit of ideas to help us do this, and through the rearrangement and recombination of the cards in Resilience Alchemy, real change (or an "alchemical" reaction) can occur. A note on packaging: In order to help honor our planet and reduce waste, we have only shrink-wrapped the interior cards, rather than the keepsake box. Please feel confident that your product is not defective or used, but rather represents a step we are taking to protect our collective home. When you open your deck, you will find that the actual cards inside the box are shrink-wrapped for protection and to ensure first use by the buyer.
