This isn’t a deck for predicting your future or finding your soulmate (although, hey, we’re not ruling that out).
It’s a deck for getting unstuck with nature’s design principles.
Each card is rooted in biomimicry — a principle drawn from how life designs intelligently — paired with:
- A poetic phrase that explains the concept like a haiku with a PhD
- A reflective question that nudges you gently (or firmly) toward insight
- A tone that’s soulful, slightly mystical, and not allergic to a little smirk
This isn’t “woo.” It’s whoa.
How to Use the Deck
Begin with stillness.
Sit somewhere quiet. Yes, even if it’s the bathroom. Especially if it’s the bathroom. Let your breath settle. Let your mind stop trying to be useful for a moment.
Set your intention.
Call in a question. Not necessarily a big one. Sometimes it’s “Why am I resisting this call?” Sometimes it’s “Why do I want to burn everything and move to the mountains?” Let it surface.
Shuffle the deck.
Feel the weight of the cards. Let your hands be part of the decision. This isn’t about getting it ‘right.’ It’s about entering a conversation with something deeper than your calendar.
Notice nature.
Before you draw a card, glance around. Maybe there’s a tree outside. A breeze. The sound of a pigeon who’s clearly judging your life choices. Let one natural element be your witness. Let it be part of this ritual with you.
Draw a card. Flip it.
Read the title. The poetic phrase. The question.
Don’t speed through it like a meme. Let it breathe.
Ask yourself:
- What is this card pointing to in my situation?
- How does this principle reflect something in my body, my work, my season?
- What would that tree/pigeon/breeze say if they were your co-founder?
Limit your reading to just one card — or three, at most.
This isn’t Netflix. Don’t binge. Insight is a seed — it needs time, not urgency. One card is often more than enough. Close the deck. Sit with what came up. Let it swirl through your next walk, your tea, your slightly weird daydreams.
This is not magic. But it is meaningful.
Nature’s been running R&D for 3.8 billion years. That’s longer than any startup.
It knows a thing or two about resilience, patience, emergence, and repair.
This deck is just a small doorway back into that knowing.
Not to fix you — but to remind you: you’re already part of something wise.
Now go. Sit with a card. Ask your questions. Listen for the breeze.
And maybe — just maybe — trust the pigeon.
