In this edition, we chose to give special emphasis to the use of cards in the context of Family Constellations. The decision stems from our intention to broaden the perspective on tools that favor symbolic expression and access to the subconscious. The OH Cards, for example, originally created as a therapeutic and creative resource, prove to be particularly powerful when integrated into constellations.
