We believe we need to fundamentally rethink how we view power.

THE RIPPLE DECK

Created by Steph Stern and Natalie Rothfels, The Ripple Deck had a successful Kickstarter launch and a limited number are still available to buy.

This deck is a call for a reclaiming process: for us to broaden our notion of what power is, how we can cultivate it and what it’s in service to.

We tend to associate power with strength, might, force and domination. These forms of power-over others offer a limited, individualist and patriarchal view of power.

Our default associations leave out vital and catalyzing forms of power. Power with (rather than over) builds our internal strengths and considers our mutuality. Power with recognizes internal capacities, while respecting the worthiness and sovereignty of all people, and our need for connection and belonging.

The 84-card deck and accompanying guidebook will help you deepen your connection to different forms of power through activities and reflections that you can do on your own and with others.
