We are Nature - What does it mean?

Nov 15

What does “WE ARE NATURE” mean to you?

To us, it means that we are an important part of life on this earth. And that doesn’t stop when we die. Our culture has a general impression that we are somehow separate from nature. We are not. We are a part of it. And we see the beauty and profundity in remaining that way, even after we die.

We like the phrase so much that we put it on a shirt! And a water bottle! And a tote!

Shopping our merch is a huge support to us. Thank you for kickstarting this business with us as we work towards opening the burial forest in Michigan.

And BONUS, each item provides a great conversation starter! :)

from $10.00

Peter and Annica need financial support for permit applications, administrative costs, website fees, property taxes and improvements on the forest property we hope will become the burial forest, to hire professionals services, to build our endowment fund (for perpetual care once we establish a cemetery), and to make this effort sustainable for our family by covering necessary life expenses.

We are deeply grateful for your contributions.
