About the Metaphor Cards Workshop Bundle Feeling Cards Set (free in the workshop bundle) Each feeling card represents a specific emotion – clearly recognizable and immediately usable. This allows workshops and coaching sessions to be even more rounded: as a brief check-in at the start, as reflection in between, or as a closing round ("Which emotion is behind this metaphor?"). In combination with the metaphor cards, deeper insights quickly emerge because feelings become visible and nameable – without having to search for them long.   The Elephant in the Room In the middle of the room stands an elephant – huge, unmistakable, yet no one talks about it. This metaphor stands for exactly that: the obvious that everyone senses but no one addresses. The card makes unspoken topics visible without creating pressure. It is an ideal entry point when something stands between people – in teams, couples, or individual coaching. Especially suitable for conversations about tensions, taboos, hidden conflicts, or situations where a clear statement is long overdue.     Good for conversation. Good for the conscience. Our metaphor cards are deliberately created with a commitment to quality and responsibility: printed in Germany, climate-neutral, and on extra sturdy, matte 450 g chromo sulfate cardboard. This ensures a high-quality feel, long durability, and a professional experience in use – whether in coaching, therapy, or workshops. Through local production and CO₂ compensation, not only are the impulses strong, but the ecological footprint is kept as small as possible.     The Mask A person holds a white mask in front of their face. What lies behind remains hidden – feelings, thoughts, perhaps even their own truth. This card represents protection and distance: the roles we play to be accepted, the strategies we use to avoid vulnerability, or the need not to have to show something. It invites discussion about authenticity, shame, self-protection, and the "true face" behind the facade. Especially suitable for processes around identity, social expectations, proximity-distance issues, and the courage to show oneself honestly.

The Ticking Time Bomb At first glance, everything seems calm: a cozy bedroom, books on the shelf, a flower on the nightstand. But in the middle lies a time bomb – armed, just before exploding. This card represents repressed conflicts, suppressed emotions, or unspoken truths simmering beneath the surface. It invites you to take a closer look before it’s too late. Ideal for conversations about tensions, inner restlessness, or dealing with seemingly harmless situations that have actually long since escalated. Good for conversation. Good for the conscience. This card is printed climate-neutrally in Germany – on 450 g thick, matte chromo-sulfate cardboard. The high-quality paper ensures a pleasant feel and long-lasting quality.For this product, we deliberately rely on local manufacturing and sustainable materials. This way, not only the conversation starter but also the footprint remains positively memorable. The Golden Cage A bird sits in an open cage – surrounded by freedom. The cage is golden, shiny, almost luxurious. Outside, other birds fly through the wide green, but this one stays where it is. This card represents comfort zones, external security, or life models that look good but feel restrictive. It invites discussion about inner boundaries, conformity, and the question of true freedom. Especially suitable for conversations about desires for change, decision conflicts, and life paths that no longer feel right.

Boundaries you can touch The System Board zone divider turns a surface into a structured space and a constellation into a clear picture. Where does a system end? Almost every constellation eventually involves boundaries: between family and work, between two departments, between what someone shows and what remains hidden. With the zone dividers, you draw these boundaries visibly on the board. A figure is then no longer just somewhere, but clearly inside, outside, or exactly on the line. Four fields, many methods The central cross divides the board into four equal areas. This makes it possible to set up familiar four-field models directly instead of merely drawing them: the Riemann-Thomann cross with proximity, distance, duration, and change; the Johari Window; a SWOT analysis; or the Eisenhower Matrix for priorities. Figures and cards thus become movable positions that can be shifted during the conversation. Areas of life, timelines, inner parts Use the additional wooden strips to create your own divisions. Divide the board into work, family, friendships, and self. Lay out a timeline with the past, present, and future. Or separate inner parts that are getting in each other's way. In a team context, the zones show responsibilities, interfaces, and silos, and often also the areas where no one is responsible. Small, lightweight, fits anywhere The 14 beechwood pieces weigh only around 28 grams in total and fit in any bag. They work on the System Board Pro round, the System Board Pro square, the System Board Pro to go, and the System Board Classic, but also directly on a table. Together with the System Board Pro figures, they create a structured constellation field in just a few seconds.
