Here’s what people are saying about Revealed Presence Story Cards:
“Quick note to say that I just used your Story Cards and they were so good at giving me insights into what was really happening/bothering people about the topic. They are so good at grounding everyone in the room and providing them and the facilitator super important info to start. Thanks for the gift of these cards and the “short cut” they give me.”

“I love how you bring the beauty of life out into the open. Through your work, you reaffirm the power of beauty, stillness, silence and life itself. Thank you for this!”
Jeremy Nash, Fierce Partner Coaching*******************************
“Carla is an artist – inviting us into the art of powerful questions and the art of reflective practice. These cards are beautiful tools which open a different kind of conversation: one full of imagination, heart and possibility. They are a delight to hold and work with.”

“I have used ‘Story Cards’ with several groups to help them surface issues, concerns, opportunities and solutions. They played a significant role in addressing issues in one small group that was on the verge of fracturing. They also helped a large group look back and forward in their strategic planning. I can adapt them to any group and their challenges and have found them to be effective (and efficient) in helping groups focus on what is important to them.”
More recently: “I used your cards two times in one week. This time with a group of undergraduates getting ready for networking, at the end of our session, asking them to choose a card that reflected how they felt about networking. It’s the only way, for me, to gauge what a group gets out of workshops/meetings. The cards just pull this out of them.”

“Carla puts heart, art, and soul into her Story Cards. Both the beauty and depth of questions are fantastic invitations to take groups into deep and insightful learning spaces. Give it a go!”

“I appreciatively discovered the Story Cards produced by Carla Kimball at an Art of Hosting Workshop in July 2010 at the Essex Retreat Center. The combination of the beautiful and poignant photography, along with the thought provoking questions caught my interest.
“Upon purchasing these Story Cards, I began to discover their important uses in forwarding my own life. How? I meditate in my sunlit room overlooking my bird feeders and sounds of nature. I pull one Story Card each day and let the question, along with the accompanying photograph live in me for the day.
“What is the result? Many questions in my own life have been answered, and most especially, how I might live my life with more presence, more authenticity, more meaning and all with more joy.
“Thank you Carla for adding to my life with your visually stimulating Story Cards. “
