The Quiet Catch Cards are a set of 10 ecotherapy activity cards designed to slow you down and open your senses to the world around you. Each card guides you through a series of discoveries — things to see, hear, smell, touch and find — with a dedicated card for beach, forest, park, garden, river and snow.

There are no wrong answers and nothing to collect; you catch not with a hand or a hook, but with your mind. Just you, a card, and an hour outside. Each card can be used seven times, making it a companion across seasons and visits. Buy the one that calls to you or collect the whole set.

Beautiful enough to give, simple enough for anyone to use, and designed to work anywhere in the world.

How this idea came about

The Quiet Catch was created by Elissa Jenkins in response to the wellbeing benefits often associated with fishing including focus, patience, sensory awareness, and the sense of quiet achievement that can come from catching something while also holding space for the times when nothing is caught.

This led to the creation of a set of activity cards designed to replicate and translate the wellbeing benefits of fishing itself and ecotherapy more broadly into a range of natural environments. The cards draw on ecotherapy-informed practice and include prompts that encourage attention and sensory engagement along with a sense of “catching” something meaningful. Some activities may lead to discoveries while others may not, reflecting the idea that presence and attention are valuable to wellbeing regardless of outcome — whether or not you “reel in the big one.”

The Quiet Catch Cards are a set of ecotherapy activity cards that offer a non-extractive way of engaging with nature, drawing on ecotherapy-informed practice and encouraging playful, mindful, and sensory engagement. Purchase one card or more (or all!) below. SHOP NOW
