Draw a card. Let the rest unfold.
 
Originally sparked by the award-winning interactive installation The Zone of Authenticity (ArtPrize 2023), by Whitney Dawn Pyles, this deck has been reimagined and brought to life in collaboration with published author and artist Camille Newson.
 
The Zone of Authenticity: Authentic Connection Cards exist to meet an increasingly essential need for honest, empathetic, human connection. Each card offers a core question, a “go deeper” prompt, and a nourishing affirmation across five unique categories. The cards support individuals, partners, families, groups, and teams in creating space to play, imagine, and soften – loosening the grip of shame and perfectionism, inviting vulnerability, and helping us uncover small, steadying truths that allow us to bloom, play, laugh, explore, and feel… together.
 
Written and designed entirely by human hands and brains.
 
Designed for solo reflection, partner or group play, and gatherings of all kinds—from team building to healing circles to retreats and beyond.
