About This Deck
The Somatic Wisdom Cards are a 54-card oracle deck created by visual artist and creativity coach Jennifer Kumer. Developed as a tool for emotional healing and self-discovery, the deck aims to help users connect with the full spectrum of their emotions, from desired feelings to those often resisted. The term "somatic wisdom" emphasizes drawing insight from the body's innate knowledge, aligning with the concept of emotions as "energy in motion."
The deck is designed for intuitive and regular use, supported by a guidebook that includes practices and prompts for deepening the relationship with each emotion. Kumer's intention was to create a resource that supports self-love and emotional awareness, viewing it as a muscle that strengthens with consistent practice. The cards are versatile, suitable for individual self-reflection, group discussions, and professional settings such as therapy or coaching to facilitate emotional literacy and connection.
Each card features hand-drawn artwork, created using gouache, acrylic, and India ink. The physical deck includes 3"x 5" jumbo-sized cards printed on 300 GSM smooth card stock with a matte layering finish, housed in a custom rigid box. The accompanying guidebook is designed to fit within the box and offers various creative ways to engage with the deck, both personally and in social or professional contexts.

The Story Behind This Deck
Jennifer Kumer, a visual artist and creativity coach based in Amsterdam, created the Somatic Wisdom Cards as a personal response to her own emotional healing journey. As a recovering empath, she discovered the transformative power of connecting with emotions rather than suppressing them. This led her to develop the deck as a means to support herself and others in building emotional awareness and self-trust. Her artistic process involves hand-drawing each card with gouache, acrylic, and India ink.
