AHACARDS
A set of therapeutic cards for work with the body and art
AHACARDS© are therapeutic cards created by me that I use in my therapeutic practice with clients. They were first introduced at the International Biosynthesis Congress in Barcelona in the spring of 2018. I offer a set of 147 double-sided cards, AHACARDS©, together with accompanying courses, to creative therapists.

The cards can be used in a variety of creative ways. Since I have been using the cards for a long period of time now, I also offer inspirational workshops in Liberec for those who are already licensed to work with AHACARDS.

We can use the cards in two basic ways: for individual therapy or group therapy. The choice of appropriate method depends on the specific needs of the client or group of clients. The role of the therapist is to create as much space as possible so that the clients can express themselves freely, and discover meanings and hidden points of view together with the therapist.

Working with the cards

I place 1/3 of the cards colourful side up and 2/3 of the cards body side up. I turn the card over at the end of the process – does it fit or not, what can I change in terms of colour/movement to make it fit?


Method A (feelings)

Chose the card that best represents how you are feeling today.
