ANCHORED - A Deck for Healing

ANCHORED is an oracle deck for the hard moments. It holds 75 collage cards, and each one is an anchor you can reach for when you feel unsteady.

Margeaux Feldman of softcore trauma began making these cards in 2017, during their own healing from complex trauma and chronic illness. They returned to collage, an art form they loved as a teenager, and added to the deck over five years. "Creating this deck served as an anchor in turbulent waters," they write.

How to use it

Pull a card when your nervous system feels dysregulated and ask for the anchor you need. Reach for it before a job interview or a first date, or after a hard conversation with someone you love. You can also pull one card each morning and let it guide your day.

The guidebook

The 200-page guidebook is written from a trauma-informed, social-justice perspective. For every card, it explains the meaning and offers a practice to help you take the anchor in. Practices include journal prompts, somatic tools, visualizations, rituals, and art prompts. It also includes 6 card spreads on healing topics, a bibliography, and a recommended reading list.

A note from the creator

Margeaux is not a therapist or clinician. They are a person living with trauma who has trained and researched in trauma healing, and they share only the practices they would offer to their own loved ones.
