Soul Boxes

A soul box harnesses the power of ritual and incarnated physical objects as a way to process griefs and regrets as well as celebrate joys, blessings, and reasons for gratitude.  I was inspired to make one to help me through some radical changes in my life, and I wanted to make this powerful tool available to others. 

The box holds two stacks of 3 x 5 index cards. With whatever ritual process makes sense to you, you open the box, take a blank card from one stack, write on this card the emotion that is on your heart, put it in the other stack, and close the box. Whether you ever look at the card again, or whether you eventually destroy the cards, is entirely up to you. A box can contain only your own cards, or you can open the process up to a family or group.

All production runs for these boxes are limited, and the design may vary over time. The constants are simplicity, a clear contrast of dark and light woods (most are locally harvested), and close attention to the craftsmanship and quality of each box. This is an object that is made to last your lifetime and then be passed down.
