Engage in deep yet playful, imaginative yet practical explorations of
what brings you pleasure--in all its forms--with this empowering,
stunningly illustrated deck and guidebook set from cut-paper artist and
creator of Resilience Alchemy Maude White.
Pleasure Alchemy offers the simple yet radical idea that by exploring
and expanding the ways we facilitate and participate in pleasurable
experiences, we can take charge of our own desires and needs. Pleasure
Alchemy provides us with a toolset of ideas for rethinking and
rearranging our pre-existing notions around what brings us pleasure--in
all facets of our lives. This deluxe deck and guidebook form a practical
and grounding toolset that aims to bring us back into our bodies, back
into an understanding of what pleasure feels like, and back into a
mindset of how we can actively seek out and experience what is
pleasurable for us. This inspiring, deeply usable, set is meant to be
used for pleasure, enjoyment, self-reflection, self-expression, and fun.

A note on packaging: In order to help honor our planet and reduce
waste, we have only shrink wrapped the interior cards, rather than the
keepsake box. Please feel confident that your product is not defective
or used, but rather represents a step we are taking to protect our
collective home. When you open your deck, you will find that the actual
cards inside the box are shrink wrapped for protection and to ensure
first use by the buyer.
