The Heart of the Ark app was designed to help you experience animals from symbolic and totemic perspectives.
The app consists of an interactive digital deck of “Ark Cards,” each depicting an animal and a summary of its natural history and symbolism, as well as totemically inspired suggestions for applying that animal’s symbolism to your life. The cards can be used for the following:
• To explore ourselves and our lives by approaching animals as guides and teachers
• To explore the potential meaning of animal encounters in the physical world, as well as in dreams, visions, meditation, and creativity
• As an animal symbolism dictionary
• As an idea generator or tool for creativity
The app also includes a “Field Journal” that you can use to record animal encounters. After you record a particular animal encounter, you can import information from the Ark Cards into your journal entry.
