About

The original idea for Zenpal Cards started in 2016 with a rough sketch in the sketchbook of Indigo Skylab founder Chris Ian Garlington. He wanted to create a tangible product that could touch the heart in ways he had never found before. His first sketch was a set of 33 cards with yoga poses and affirmations to provide simple guidance for physical and mental wellness practice together. But there was another component he wanted to build into the system from the start. He wanted there to also be a set of 11 cards within the system that had something deeper than physical and mental practice. A set of skills that could activate the heart with low/no barrier to practice. This has always been the essence of this product. 

A few days after the initial sketch, Chris was walking around his neighborhood thinking about what to call the product when the name "Zen Pal" Cards popped in. Now, he had enough to get to work. He created his first prototype and started sharing it and testing it with people to gather feedback to see what he really had. Little did he know it would take another 8 years to complete it. Would he do it again? Maybe. Was it worth it? Absolutely. 

Today, individuals can order the Deluxe Edition of Zenpal Cards. That's our standard version with the light blue box and card backs. 

We also have a customization program for bulk orders, where organizations can create their own special edition of Zenpal Cards. These requests, along with fully customized card programs for influencers and celebrities, are handled through CustomPromoDecks.com
