Recording: Transcending Death With Matthew Kochmann, Mar 10, 2023

Too many people are absolutely terrified of death. But what does “death” actually mean? And how can Nature help shift our understanding of it? Join Transcend Founder & CEO Matthew Kochmann as he explores the mystery of death, and how cultivating a healthier relationship with our own mortality might be the only true path forward in our continued fight against climate change. // Transcend is rewilding the planet by repurposing the most life-giving natural resource known to mankind: our bodies. Tree Burial creates life from death by returning people to the earth naturally so their biology can literally live on as a tree.

“The one who plants trees, knowing that she will never sit in their shade, has at least started to understand the meaning of life.” - Tagore
