SOMA Alchemy Workbook & Cards

I am currently creating a workbook and card deck to accompany the SOMA Alchemy Workshop:

This transformational process is based on trauma healing principles and involves guided mediations, questions & challenges that help connect to ourselves, our companions and to our environment.

The card deck will include 42 cards and 1 wheel of emotions. Together with the workbook it can also be used for daily guidance and personal practice to heal maladaptive patterns and build healthy habbits.

My deadline to finalise the workbook and print the cards etc is summer 2026 - if you would like to support this project and be one of the first to receive the workbook & card deck you are welcome to contact me and encourage me by funding this project - your donation will be a pre-payment to the final product priced at 49€.
