The Mindful Seven Principles Reflection Deck

$28.00

The Mindful Seven Principles Deck is a heartfelt companion for honoring the Nguzo Saba—the seven principles of Kwanzaa—through intention, presence, and reflection. Each card features one of my original mosaic artworks, created to embody the spirit and strength of each principle in vivid, tactile color.

This set is designed to support and deepen traditional Kwanzaa celebrations. During the seven nights of Kwanzaa, you can place each day’s card on its matching easel—three red, one black, and three green—to echo the colors of the kinara. Whether you light a candle, gather with family, or spend a quiet moment in personal reflection, each card becomes a focal point for meaning and connection.

The deck can also be used independently of the holiday. The Nguzo Saba are powerful values year-round, and many people use these cards as a mindfulness tool—displaying a weekly principle, journaling with the prompts, or setting intentions in their home or workspace.

This offering is meant to feel grounded, respectful, and accessible to anyone—whether Kwanzaa is a long-held family tradition or something you’re exploring for the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a kinara to use this deck?

How do the easel colors relate to Kwanzaa?
The holiday edition includes seven easels in the colors of the kinara: three red, one black, and three green. You can display each principle card on the matching easel for that night’s candle.

Absolutely. The prompts are written in clear, welcoming language, and the printed insert provides simple guidance to begin. It’s suitable for first-time learners and for those deepening an existing tradition.
