About the cards
My work with affirmations and trees began in the middle of a year long breathwork group. I had become more in touch with my vulnerability and
needed to find a way of feeling safe and protected when I felt like this. During the "Inner Child" weekend I visualised my Inner Child
in a beautiful copper beech, and started creating artwork around it. Around the same time I went on an intensive voicework weekend
and the idea of creating some affirmation cards around trees materialised.
I began connecting with trees that brought to mind certain qualities, and the images and the affirmation just suggested
themselves to me. (The images are watercolour and ink sketches). I managed to complete enough cards for everyone in my breathwork group and was amazed how relevant
they were even though I hadn't thought about my choices consciously. I was inspired by the feedback I got to continue my work.
As I continued creating the cards I found that I was getting the qualities I needed to work on at the time, which helped
me to work through my emotions in a very deep way. I would very much like to share the cards in the hope that
they will be of use to others in their personal journey.
When I looked at having the cards produced it was important to me to find an ecologically sound way of doing it as well as avoiding contributing
to cutting down trees. The packaging and the book are produced from 100% recycled paper. I had to compromise on the cards themselves because
of quality issues and they are produced on FSC certified card (from sustainable and well managed sources). 10% of the profits will go to
tree related charities.
