Power to Praxis Reflection Cards for Decolonial Design and the Power to Praxis Book (Physical)

Power to Praxis: Reflection Cards for Decolonial Design

Physical Card Deck (54 cards) + Companion Guide (Print Edition)
Presale – Shipping 22nd January 2026

The Power to Praxis Reflection Cards for Decolonial Design and Companion Guide are practical tools for people working inside systems of power who want to practise accountability, not just talk about it.

Created by Lana Woolf through Community Powered Responses, this offering supports practitioners, teams, and organisations to move from awareness to responsibility, and from reflection to meaningful change.

This is not a training-in-a-box or a compliance resource.
It is a reflective practice tool grounded in decolonial, feminist, Indigenous, disability justice, and participatory traditions.

What This Is For

Power to Praxis is designed for people working in aid, development, humanitarian, climate, policy, research, and social justice contexts who are asking:

• How does power actually move through my work?

• Who am I accountable to, and who defines success?

• Where are we reproducing harm, even with good intentions?

• What would it mean to practise decolonial design in real, everyday decisions?

The cards and guide help surface what technical tools often miss:
power, positionality, relationships, ethics, and responsibility.

What’s Included

1. Power to Praxis Reflection Cards (54-card physical deck)

A professionally printed deck of 54 reflection cards, organised across the full project cycle.

The deck includes:

• 10 Pre-Engagement cards

• 10 Pre-Project cards

• 10 Implementation cards

• 10 Completion cards

• 10 Meta-Reflection cards (systems, institutions, solidarity)

• 4 Commitment cards to close the loop and move from reflection to action

Each card poses a carefully crafted first-person question that invites honest inquiry into power, practice, and accountability.

The cards are:

• Colour-coded by project phase

• Designed for individual reflection, team dialogue, coaching, or facilitated sessions

• Not prescriptive and not a checklist

They are invitations, not instructions.

2. Power to Praxis Companion Guide (Printed book, 50 pages)

The Companion Guide provides depth, context, and facilitation support for working with the cards intentionally and safely.

It includes:

• An introduction to reflexive praxis and decolonial design

• Guidance on how to use the cards individually, in teams, and in organisations

• A self-locating tool to examine positionality and power

• Sections on accountability, safety, cultural safety, and the dignity of risk

• Practical guidance for integrating reflection into MEL, safeguarding, and inclusion systems

• A glossary and theorist lineage table grounding the work in decolonial, feminist, Indigenous, disability justice, and anti-imperialist thought

The guide is not meant to be read cover to cover.
It is a living companion to the cards, designed to be returned to over time.

What Makes This Different

• It centres accountability to communities, not just institutions or donors

• It treats reflection as a political practice, not a wellbeing exercise

• It acknowledges that decolonisation is unfinished, uncomfortable, and relational

• It is designed for people working inside complex systems who want to act with integrity, not purity

Power to Praxis does not promise easy answers.
It supports better questions, shared responsibility, and ethical action.

Who This Is For

• Aid, development, humanitarian, and climate practitioners

• GEDSI, safeguarding, MEL, and inclusion specialists

• Consultants, advisors, researchers, and facilitators
  

• Educators and trainers working with critical, justice-oriented pedagogy
