The Swan Collection

Exquisite gifts for relationships that matter.

Do you postpone sharing a sensitive message, gratitude or appreciation with someone you care about?

You’ve probably been waiting for the right moment, haven’t you?

As long as you hold back your words of appreciation, gratitude, care, affection, empathy, compassion, solace, grief or joy, the people you care about will not receive them as your personal gift.
An exquisite gift that can meet their need for being seen and mattering.

If instead you choose to no longer wait, sharing your words can lead to more connection between the two of you, and can bring both of you inner peace and joy in your hearts.

Isn’t right now a wonderful time for you both to experience that?

The Card Sets of The Swan Collection are designed
to make it easier to share your words and can even work as conversation starters with the receiver of your cards.

Express your unspoken words …

  • to people you care about and with whom you like to strengthen your relationship by letting them know they matter to you,
  • to people you want to say ‘thank you’ to because of something they did that contributed to your growth or well-being,
  • to loved ones who are in the last phase of their life,
  • to loved ones with whom communicating will become difficult in the future due to illnesses.

Feeling unsure how to formulate your messages?

When you order your card set of The Swan Collection, you also get access to an online program with lots of inspiration and you receive a printable journal to help you reflect on your relationship and formulate your messages.

I started The Swan Collection Program, which I find incredible! So much information, tips,
inspiration…
I feel impressed and touched by the amount of work I can sense behind all that, and it gives me trust that generosity and the will to contribute with high quality is a value shared by many people.

It brings me joy and hope, which these days is a precious thing to feel. Thank you.”

“Hi Mireille, just wanted to let you know the writing prompts are absolutely fantastic and insightful!

The cards arrived and they look even more beautiful in person! I look forward writing on them when I’m ready! Thank you so much for the sweet card you included.

I bought the cards because I think we often wait too long to express to others what we appreciate about them. Sometimes the end comes suddenly, and other times when the end is approaching the person no longer has the ability to read or understand what I wrote, and I just think it’s wonderful to tell one another these things while we’re still here and actively engaging in a relationship. Your cards remind me of my Nonviolent Communication practice and they’re also really beautiful. A long time ago I wrote little notes for loved ones about what I appreciated about them, but I think with your cards that could be more focused on what really matters and a more beautiful gift.

How did The Swan Collection come into existence?

When I knew my mother was going to die, I felt and urgency to still honestly express and share my unspoken words of appreciation, mourning, love and compassion.

I wanted her to be know with how she affected me and my well-being.

Laying in her hospice bed, a smile appeared on my mom’s face when she said:
‘I did not expect this! They are beautiful! Keep drawing!’

“Thanks a lot for your swan cards. I used them as a personal gift to 14 participants in a Nonviolent Communication Workshop. My idea was to invite them to choose one need, out fourteen which I had written on paper, at the beginning of the day one. I asked them to experiment to connect to the idea of this need being fulfilled during the next two days. At the end of the two days, I gave them the swan card with their personal name on the envelop, and asked them about their experience with this need during the past two days. Did they manage to stay connected to it? And what other feedback did they have?

I liked listening to people enjoying sharing what they felt, focusing on one particular need during two days… This was my pleasure to celebrate your beautiful cards!”

With gratitude for Hospice ‘De Liefde’ in Rotterdam …

… for all their care, love, attention, listening and guidance.

And with special appreciation for the 40 volunteers working there, for dedicating their time to supporting the residents to live in a peaceful and loving home.

“The imagery on Mireille’s swan cards capture the essence of each need they depict. I’ve written several notes to loved ones on these cards. Each time, the act of looking at each image and need invites me into a deep reflection on my relationships and what the person who will receive the card means to me. And I’ve heard from each person how deeply touched they were by the depth of expression the cards elicit. The swan cards are a beautiful support for self-connection and heartfelt expression.
