Move with the questions you’re living.
A relational movement practice — and a 33-card deck preparing to launch — for exploring questions through body, place, image, and relationship.
What is Moving Rasa?
Moving Rasa is a practice for exploring questions through body, relationship, culture, and the worlds around us.
Through movement, reflection, imagination, and consent-based exploration, we create spaces where people can relate to what they are living through differently — alone, in community, and across cultures.
The Discovery Cards Are Preparing to Launch
The Discovery Cards are a 33-card movement-optional deck for exploring questions through image, movement, space, and relationship.
We’re preparing to bring the first edition into the world through Kickstarter, with community support helping fund the deck, guidebook, guided practices, and future gatherings.
The Discovery Cards are an experiential deck for exploring questions through movement, reflection, imagination, and relationship.
Why These Cards Exist
“Growing up in an Indonesian-Chinese family, I often learned to read emotion through gesture, silence, pacing, and atmosphere before words were spoken.
Years later, while working with survivors, caregivers, organizers, and communities navigating stress and disconnection, I began to realize:
People often do not need help solving a question.
They need support relating to it differently.
The Discovery Cards grew out of that understanding.”
- Andrew
How it Works
1. Bring a question into the room
A feeling, relationship, transition, tension, memory, or life situation you want to explore.
2. Choose a card
Explore through movement, imagery, and observation.
3. Notice what changes
The goal is not to force an answer, but to discover new perspectives, directions, sensations, and possibilities.
Inside the Deck
Lens Cards
Ways of noticing through body, touch, place, movement, connection, and imagination.
Animist Cards
Relationships with environments, thresholds, forces, and living landscapes.
Suwung Cards
Moments of spaciousness, pause, rest, and reset.
The cards are explored as a living ecosystem rather than fixed meanings.
What people experience
Small shifts can change the whole relationship.
From Overwhelm → Space
A participant struggling with anxiety and perfectionism placed his stress into a card token and physically turned his back to it for the first time.
From Momentum → Rest
A caregiver exploring exhaustion through movement experienced a new sense of permission to slow down.
From Disconnection → Wonder
A young professional rediscovered curiosity, imagination, and childlike exploration through the cards.
What This Practice Supports
People come to this work carrying many things:
caregiving stress
burnout
grief
overwhelm
questions about identity and belonging
disconnection from the body
difficulty slowing down
relationship struggles
perfectionism and hypervigilance
a longing for more genuine connection
The practice does not ask people to perform, explain, or have the “right” answer.
It creates space to notice, move, relate, and reconnect differently to what is already present.

“I appreciated the way that the embodied feeling matched the card feelings to get out of my head and into my body. I have never seen anything like this before, and I know a lot about Tarot.” -Recipient of MR Discovery Card Reading
