Foraging Cards

Handcrafted personal message cards, born from your own story.

An approach I developed and nurtured, allowing the events, thoughts and feelings of our lives to resonate through cards that offer messages and inspiration for the road ahead.

Making personal message cards
Botanical printing · watercolor · pencils · creative writing
A space for a deep meeting with ourselves

Format: A retreat · about four sessions each lasting 5-hour.

Have you ever drawn an inspiration card and felt as though it had been created just for you? A message that felt just right, meaningful, and illuminated your path at exactly the right moment?

Now imagine being able to create these cards yourself, drawing from your own life experiences.

The guidance for creating the cards grew out of the experience and knowledge I’ve gathered along the way and is intended to strengthen and nurture our relationship with ourselves.

In our shared space, we’ll give expression to the different parts and voices within us. From these, we’ll discover seeds of insight that will take shape as our personal Foraging Cards, cards holding messages that guide and are precisely suited to your unique path

The cards allow us to become familiar with the different parts of ourselves, to hear their different voices, and to acknowledge and transform moments into treasures that become milestones and sources of support along the way.

What will we do in the workshop?

We’ll transform challenges and feelings into “golden seeds” that can awaken and support us along the way.
We’ll strengthen our connection with ourselves and nurture our ability to be our own guides in life.

What will we work with:

The magic of botanical printing
Watercolors and spices
Water-soluble pencils
Creative writing
And more

Who is the workshop for?

Anyone looking for a moment of stillness and creativity.
Artists and beginners: For artists and creators, as well as those with no previous experience who would like tools to unlock their creative potential.
Professionals and organizations: Ideal for therapists, as well as groups looking for a day of learning, team building and a refreshing break.
Older teens and adults: Women and men, girls and boys.
Workshops can also be adapted for younger teens.

At the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with your own personal cards and the knowledge to continue creating cards independently.

Many adventurous souls have already taken part in this wonderful workshop and continue to create and develop their Foraging Cards in their everyday lives.

Note: The option for an individual, focused guidance for creating the cards is also available as a follow-up.

What people say about this workshop

It's almost the end of the season, but I'm still writing this for anyone coming back: run to this workshop of Maya's! One of the most powerful workshops I've experienced, I'm still glowing. It's an amazing journey that lasts 3 days, moving through stations, images and memories from our lives, which turn into beautiful cards with inspiring lines, insights and messages that come out of our inner world. This isn't just another workshop, it's a healing process, one that touches both joy and pain. For anyone who doesn't know her, Maya is an artist and art therapist, and she is pure magic and depth. She weaves into the workshop tools of guided imagery and meditation along with artistic and therapeutic techniques, to distill what already exists within us and wants to come out. Did I already say I recommend it? You don't need to know how to draw or write, just come with an open heart.
