Deck Creator's MasterMind Cycle 6

Dear Beautiful Soul,

• Are you ready to bring a deck into the world?
• Do you have an idea for a deck (or 10) that you think will inspire people?
• Have you been making art for years and finally have a body of work that could be featured in an oracle, inspiration, or tarot deck?

Then you are in the right place.

Join us for a fun-filled, INTERACTIVE journey through all the ways you can create, publish, market, and sell an oracle, tarot, affirmation, or inspiration deck that you create from your original idea. I invite you to The Deck Creator's MasterMind.

This unique class, in its third session, is the next step after taking Artful Affirmations and Original Oracles or after spending time creating a deck and not know what to do next. I created the class for those who want to actually earn money selling their decks. We start with a virtual weekend together where we will discuss the following topics:

1. Idea Generation - Deciding on your deck's theme and details. Working on multiple decks at once. From book to deck and back again. New this cycle -- 10 Ways to Generate Ideas for Decks.

4. Distribution Options -- Are you in the business of shipping? Wholesale options. Kickstarter behind the scenes with Jamie Sawyer, Creator of The Pocket of Peers Tarot, The Sawyer's Path Tarot, The Sawyer's Path Lenormand, and Sawyer's Nature Portals.

GUEST TEACHERS

SPECIAL GUEST INSTRUCTOR: Kristen Radden (OverTheMoonAcademy) - Creator of more than 50 decks, Kristen has mastered the art of creating and is an expert at finding and using image editing/manipulating applications to create unique decks with layers, texture, and depth. She will be sharing her creative process, the applications she finds useful, and giving us a tour through her personal collection of DIY and printed decks.

SPECIAL GUEST INSTRUCTOR: Jamie Sawyer -- (Jamie Sawyer Online) Creative, busy mind. Creator of Sawyer’s Path Tarot, Sawyer’s Lenormand, Sawyer’s Nature Portals and Pocket of Peers Tarot. Jamie makes tools for creative divination -- from Tarot Tiles to casting boards, and more! This cycle Jamie has even more to say about Kickstarter and will talk about her decision to do it again after thinking she would NEVER run a Kickstarter again.

SPECIAL GUEST INSTRUCTOR: Rachel Torda -- (The Dreaming Lotus) Artist, writer, seeker. Rachel is a past student in the Deck Creators Mastermind and the creator of The Flow Tarot: A Deck of The Water Element. She makes things. And she is endlessly curious about the connection between the seemingly everyday, and the magic lurking just beneath the surface….

Rachel paints watercolors, writes, teaches art classes, creates tarot and oracle decks, and makes jewelry. She teaches college philosophy students about Hildegard, the 10th century Christian mystic. She plays Hildegard's music on the harp, bakes her 1,000-year-old recipe for cookies, and shares her bits of wisdom handed down through the ages. Rachel gardens, hikes, knits, journals and does a million other things — including running a 100-year-old Letterpress in her garage — with her husband and daughter, her partners in crime.

NEW THIS SESSION -- Rachel will share how she uses both Procreate and Photoshop to create, edit, and produce her decks.

Here's how the MasterMind will work:

When you register, you gain access to the PRE-WORK so that you can begin to clarify your deck ideas immediately. This part is important. Please begin before the Mastermind Immersion Weekend.

We then meet on Friday April 22nd for a 4 hour session (12PM to 4PM Central) where we have a meet and greet with participants and begin talking about your deck ideas. You'll have the night to sleep on your idea (or if you're a night owl like me, the rest of the night to brainstorm, plan, and get ready for the day of mini lessons on Saturday).

On Saturday April 23rd we will meet from 9AM - 1PM Central for a three hour session to prepare you for a day of creating your deck. You'll then be sent off to work on your deck with instructions on creating the prototype of your deck. We will then reconvene (3:30PM to 6PM Central) for Q&A time, information sharing, more prototyping, and next steps. This day we will dive into the process of moving your deck from a personal deck to a full fledged business venture that makes you money. Part planning, part action, we will spend the day getting clear on what we want to do with our decks and how we want them to look. I'll be in on the private discussion board answering questions and giving assistance into the evening.

On Sunday April 24th, we will meet from 9AM - 12PM Central for a quick check in, Q&A, and work session to discuss writing a guidebook and other elements that need to be added to your deck. Then we will reconvene from 2PM to 6PM Central to discuss topics around packaging, distribution, and marketing. I'll even walk you through how to make an effective launch plan. We will take a short break and eventually finish the day with a celebration of what each person has accomplished.

Once we end on April 24th, you'll spend a week working and refining your prototype deck. Then we will meet for a one week progress check-in, celebration of your deck, and to answer your questions on Tuesday May 1st (12PM to 1:30PM Central). After that, you'll have the month of May to work on further refining and defining your deck idea and getting it market ready. You'll have my support along the way and be invited to share, ask questions, and move your deck forward.

Then, we will end our cycle by reconnecting a month from our Mastermind weekend on May 22nd (3PM to 5PM Central) to do a final wrap up of the class, share links to your completed decks, and celebrate the joy of holding your deck in your hands.

If this sounds like the level of support you want, join today. The seats are limited so that I can get to know each participant's idea and help them bring it into the world.

Option 1: $222 -- Regular Registration -- one seat in the class and access to all the materials, content, calls, and the 3-day event.

Option 2: $333 -- Add a Call With Kiala -- everything in Option 1 + a 60 minute one-on-one call with Kiala (valued at $330 without the class).

Option 3: $444 -- Add a Side-by-Side with Kiala -- everything in Options 1 & 2 + a 2-hour side-by-side VIRTUAL session with Kiala. This option is where I will sit with you (virtually) and help you layout your deck or book for printing, build a launch plan, or make decisions about what happens beyond the deck.
