Each of the 96 cards has beautiful artwork and wisdom for playful engagement and easy access. While it is a great companion to Looby’s books, People and Permaculture and Cultural Emergence the deck is also accessible for those completely new to Cultural Emergence and permaculture.
The card deck is here and you can now order it directly from Looby!
