WELCOME TO OUR NEW
WISE DEMOCRACY CARD DECK!
This is your chance to get hold of
the first print edition!
Sow the seeds of a wiser, more inclusive and participatory approach to governance.
Use these cards to support your own work as a concerned citizen, public servant, or change agent. We have designed them to enhance the power of collective action and the immense potential for co-creative wisdom among us all.
The pattern cards reflect many years of accumulated experience and reflection aimed at evoking and engaging the wisdom and resourcefulness of the whole, on behalf of the whole. Much of the work we all do depends on conversations – quality interchanges through which we envision, shape and begin to enact the world we desire. These cards can help catalyze and inform these conversations.

Hi June. Thanks for your enthusiasm. You should order at least one or two sets now, which you can use for many exercises in/with your group. We will be watching our sales closely over the next month or so. We need to make sufficient money on this printing to pay for a new printing, so we’re being cautious about offering a flat bulk price at this early date. But you should check in with us again directly at cii@igc.org later in September to perhaps negotiate something that would work for you without endangering our finances. Know that we wish we were more well funded to be able to provide cheaper decks and more free services than we already do! – Tom PS: You can also print out DIY decks from our free pdf download on this site, to use until you get more fancy printed decks to work with.
Wow! This is incredibly exciting. I can’t wait to get mine, and begin sharing and practicing with others. I’m eager to learn when you offer a bulk price, so we can order 20 sets for use in our Great Turning Kansas City community.
