This deck is designed to move people beyond small talk and into deeper, more memorable interactions. It gives you permission to skip the small talk, so that you really get to know someone fully. So you can have better conversations with the people you love, and the people you are yet to understand.

Discover more about yourself and gain a meaningful connection with others.

As you move through the cards, you are invited to open up about both your lighter and darker experiences and embody your emotions with curiosity.

Curated with the help of psychologists, wellbeing practitioners and industry experts to encourage a safe space for emotional intelligence and embodiment, but through talking and games.

i can’t afford therapy so…let’s play.

We don’t really have rules, but here are some ideas on how you could use our conversation cards.

How to play:

In a pair or group:

Each player picks a card at random.

The player reads the card aloud.

Everyone else in the group answers the question or completes the action. 

Move on to the next card.

We suggest starting with the ‘Light’ section and then moving into ‘Shadow’. If you’re feeling up for it, mix and match between the two, or deep dive straight into ‘Shadow’.

Solo:

Do this on your own.

Choose a card at random and use it for self reflection, a video diary entry or as a journal prompt.

Pick up an action card at any time, when you feel like you need it or if you want to work somatically, as well as intellectually.

Specifications:

Light cards (86), Shadow cards (86), Action Cards (28) Blank card, write your own question (1)
