THIS IS A DECK OF CARDS CREATED FOR CONVERSATIONS ABOUT CHILDHOOD, MEMORIES, AND SERENITY.
From ancient times, humans have gathered around rivers to build their lives, as without water, life is just not possible. Similarly, we construct ourselves around a river, but you may not have noticed. That river is the memories and the stories we tell ourselves about our childhood. Returning to this river, you will meet old faces and revisit familiar places. It could be family, school, friends, or your childhood dreams.
The question in this “when” deck will gradually explore those themes to help you rediscover your childhood narratives, and how they have shaped you into who you are today. The truth is, people rarely forget things. We just don't realize that our early experiences are still there, influencing our thoughts and behaviors. Therefore, keep asking “why” after each answer until you arrive at the upstream of your own river.
Inside this box there are 55 cards that are designed to take a walk with you down memory lane, to have conversations about who you used to be as a child, what to used to love, and more importantly, conversations that you should have had but never did. Along with 5 special cards presenting 5 important concepts related to this theme, we hope this deck will help you bridge the gap between the child in you and the person you are today.
This trip down memory lane might trigger some negative feelings but don’t be afraid, you are here now. You are okay. Invite some friends to come along. Take it slow. Remember, memory is not fact. For your peace of mind, you don’t have to understand everything.
You are here now. And you are okay.
