Exploring the Power of Awe
Awe is one of the most impactful yet overlooked states available to us. Studies show that awe can elevate mood, reduce stress, enhance creativity, and deepen our sense of connection and meaning. What’s surprising is how accessible it is—often found not in grand experiences, but in ordinary, everyday moments.
The Awe Deck was designed as a gentle companion for cultivating those moments. Within its 52 cards, you’ll find simple prompts, evocative images, and short practices that encourage you to slow down, look differently, and rediscover the wonder woven into your daily life.
Awe has a quiet power. It shifts our internal atmosphere, opens our perspective, and helps us feel more present and grounded. The AWE Deck offers an easy, beautiful way to welcome more of those shifts—one small moment at a time.

Praise for The AWE deck
“I love them! I use them in my meditation time with my other decks and books. I especially love the image cards. So powerful. The cards have great energy and are bright, joyful and empowering.!”
Peggy Polacek ~ Author of “Your Superpower is Love” and “A Day at the Zoo with Lou”
“People have describe the experience of awe in many ways- being dumbstruck, moved to tears, overwhelmed by pure love, or even cowering in fear. The Awe Deck provides a way to better explore this sacred event and reclaim its power and majesty.”
John Stone ~ Author of “A Fuller Sight” and “C.H.O.I.C.E.S. Model: Choosing Love instead of Fear”
“Do you love that rush when you see things with new eyes? Aha Ideas? Beauty that takes your breath away? This deck of beautiful, inspiring cards can lead you to such a moment, in the midst of your ordinary day. Are you ready?
Arlene Mitchell ~ Cheerleader of dreams ~
“We used these as mindful activities in morning meeting. We thought starting our day basking in the awe of the word was a great way to set our students up for success. So taking time to sit together, and focus on the awe was great for our class and led to beautiful discussion.
We also used them to guide our nature journal prompts as many related to the awe that is the nature around us. We did sky watching, forest bathing as well as looking for fibonacci sequences.”
3rd/4th Grade Teacher ~ Limestone Community School
“We’ve used the Awe Deck as a family in the morning before school—and it’s become such a sweet little ritual. The kids take turns picking a card, and it sets the tone for the day. It’s amazing how something so simple can shift our perspective—we find ourselves actually looking for awe in the everyday. It’s brought up fun conversations and helped all of us slow down just a little and pay more attention. Highly recommend for families wanting to reconnect and bring some magic into their daily routine.”
Kara Moore ~ Creative entrepreneur and mother of four
“I incorporated the cards about senses into my anatomy and physiology unit with 5th and 6th graders.
I think that they were successful as it allowed them to slow down and be present in the moment. Many of our students are so busy throughout the day that they are often jumping(or skipping) from one thing to the next. However, I noticed when we did these cards the energy was slower, and they were able to be fully invested in the moment.”
5th/6th Grade Teacher ~ Limestone Community School
