Latest Updates from Our Project:

Meet the Artist!
7 months ago – Tue, Aug 22, 2023 at 10:04:19 AM

Dear Friends,

I'm so excited to share this in-depth conversation that Yael and I had back in June about Yael's process in creating the illustrations for the Power of the Yin Oracle Deck.

Our conversation covered over 14 different cards and included Yael describing her artistic influences, how she approached this project — her largest illustration project to date — as well as her techniques, color choices, and our back-and-forth in pushing the images to their final form.

It was a heart-opening and stimulating conversation and so rich, that in addition to posting the complete 1 hour-plus conversation, I have broken it out into 14 short clips, each focusing on a single card.  Perhaps one of the cards we discuss is your favorite!  

After over a year of talking about and sharing the deck, I am so glad you are finally getting to hear from Yael, and to have a peek at our dynamic as collaborators.

I hope you enjoy, and please share your feedback with us!

Dear Friends,

Since I last sent an update, you all have received your decks! And I have had the pleasure of seeing some of you and working with the deck in person. ❤️

And now, I'm hosting a get-together to meet you (online), and to support you as you work with the deck — as well give you the opportunity to meet each other and grow our Yin Oracle community.

So this Sunday I've scheduled a FREE online session for one hour, 1pm US-ET / 6pm UK / 7pm EU.  This session includes:

  • Opening with a grounding meditation
  • Pulling a card from your deck
  • Sharing your card pull and your interpretation via chat
  • Giving your feedback and thoughts to others through the chat and in the live conversation
  • Should you choose, sharing your card pull live with me and we'll interpret it together and with the support of the group

It's FREE, just REGISTER HERE.

  • The Power of the Yin Session Live via Zoom
  • Sunday, August 20
  • 1pm US-ET / 6pm UK / 7pm EU

The Last Deck!
9 months ago – Tue, Jul 11, 2023 at 10:15:39 PM

Out it goes!

(The last deck of the Kickstarter backers and preorders, that is.)

It's incredible to me that this deck has traveled so far and wide in its creation: from Santa Fe to  Scotland (Edinburgh, Dunbar & Dunkeld, Glen Lyon, Inverness, Skye, Glasgow, and all the trains in between!), Amsterdam, Forest Row, Leicestershire, London, and finally: Liberty & Doweltown, Tennessee.

And now they are journeying even farther and wider to you: Australia, Sweden, Japan, Canada, Germany, Brussels, England, Norway, Switzerland, Finland, France, and in the US from Hawaii to Florida, and so many states in between.  Wow.

So every one of you should either have your deck(s) by now, or have received the notice that they are en route to you.  If you haven't, please let me know.  And if you haven't gotten your deck yet and it seems like there may be a delay, tell me and we'll track it down.

Now it's time to join us in community!

So many of you are sharing your impressions of the deck. It's so exciting to hear from you! Please keep it coming — I love all these messages!  You can email me directly, message me on social media, or post in our FB group. I'd love to have you in this growing community.  Join us here. 

Ordering more decks

If you or your envious friends would like to order the deck, you better act fast!

I ONLY HAVE 160 DECKS LEFT!

Off they go--to you!
9 months ago – Sun, Jul 02, 2023 at 02:26:59 PM

Just a quick note to let you know I am elbow-deep in shipping your decks from here in Tennessee at my mom's home & studio (Liberty Paper Mill).  All the decks will be off to you by midweek this week!

As I'm writing a little note in each and every deck (please forgive me for my handwriting), I'm getting to spend a few very personal moments with each of you--writing your name out, noticing where you live, and seeing your pledge as I mark your order "fulfilled."  So many of you pledged way back in the first week of my KS campaign, getting the early bird offer — what patience you have!

And soon every single one of you will be holding this deck in your hands, and it will come alive in your life.  What an honor for me to be a creator in this process!

A Few Opportunities for More

🦋 A friendly reminder that you are invited to join our growing community in our private FB group. I can't wait to meet you and get to know you more there. And for you all to meet each other!

🦋 I'll be returning to Santa Fe at the end of the week for a few weeks and while there I'm planning to offer a Power of the Yin gathering to celebrate and practice with the deck.  Details forthcoming!

🦋 I'll also be offering integrative craniosacral therapy sessions in Santa Fe.  If you are interested, you can schedule your session here.

🦋 Just a few days ago Yael and I sat down for an hour+ Zoom conversation where she shared her techniques, process and inspiration in creating the illustrations for this deck.  IT WAS A DYNAMITE CONVERSATION!  I'll be editing it this week and have it posted soon.  Stay tuned!  It will inspire you like crazy and you'll love the deck even more. 

🦋 Finally, I'm part of a dynamic online event: THE TAKE UP SPACE! SUMMIT: Unlocking the Wisdom & Secrets of Feminine Energetics.  It takes place July 3-7 and it's FREE.  Register here.




Yael Writes About Manifestation
9 months ago – Mon, Jun 19, 2023 at 06:11:32 PM

"On New Year's Day 2022, I started working on the largest illustration project I've ever done. . . "

So begins a beautiful new blog post from Yael, describing our collaboration, and narrating her process in creating the illustration for the card Manifestation.

In her essay, she also describes our work together as "one of the most unique and enriching collaborations I've experienced in all my years as a professional artist."

It never occurred to me that I would be creating a pinnacle experience for someone else in the process of creating this deck — especially Yael, an accomplished artist I have admired for over 25 years.  This is a reminder that we never know the impact we will have on others when we say YES to a vision and take it all the way to manifestation.

"In a way this card represents the manifestation of the deck itself. New ideas, new possibilities arise from this deck that strives to tap into a feminine, intuitive undercurrent. Up from the earthy loam, new life offers itself as a manifestation of the innocent, original self."

What a privilege to have this kind of impact on others, and receive the blessing of co-creation and mutual inspiration.

Coming Soon: A Video Conversation with Yael

I’m excited to share that Yael and I are going to create a series of video conversations about our collaboration, with a specific focus on Yael’s creative process.

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR HER OR WOULD LIKE HER TO TALK ABOUT SPECIFIC CARDS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

Deck Update

If you are in the UK, you should have your deck by now, and EU and ROW folks--your deck is being shipped out as I write this.

Here in the US the deck is clearing customs and will hopefully be arriving in Tennessee at my mom's* house next week.  Then we start shipping!

*The textured, multi-layered backdrop you see in the photo here is a sample of my mom's handmade paper and surface design.  While I'm visiting her, I"m going to be photographing the deck and taking advantage of her artwork and the collections of magical objects in her studio.  Learn more about her work at ClaudiaLeePaper.com.
