Through prompts that combine visual and verbal language, the cards support practitioners in observing how attention, perception, and interaction influence the social fields we co-create.
Created for artists, designers, educators, and facilitators, the cards offer a simple yet meaningful way to cultivate embodied and relational awareness in professional as well as everyday contexts.
Rather than focusing only on ideas, the cards draw attention to what is seen, sensed, and felt in moments of interaction. They can deepen practices such as Social Presencing Theater, dialogue processes, and other awareness-based methods.
The deck includes 30 cards organized into three areas of attention:
What We See
Visible patterns of interaction and body placement in space.
What We Sense and Feel
Subtle relational and emotional qualities present in a moment.
How We Attend
The inner place from which we perceive, respond, and act.
Together, these prompts help bring language to experiences that are often difficult to articulate but essential for cultivating more connected and creative ways of being together.
