Death is not my friend, neither is it my enemy; it is my destiny. "Part memoir, part rant against the traditional funeral business, part manifesto, part just musing on death and facing it with compassion and courage. It's lovely and thoughtful and may make you rethink a few things."--The Guardian "This book is a great work of craft and beauty."--Salena Godden, author of Mrs Death Misses Death When he became an undertaker, Rupert Callender undertook to deal with the dead for the sake of the living. What Remains? is the brilliant, unforgettable story of the life and work of the world's first punk undertaker--but it is also a book about ordinary, everyday humanity and our capacity to face death with courage and compassion. To say goodbye to the people we love in our own way. In becoming the world's first "punk undertaker" and establishing the Green Funeral Company in Devon, UK, Ru Callender and his partner Claire challenged the stilted, traditional, structured world of the funeral industry; fusing what he had learned from his own deeply personal experiences with death, with the surprising and profound answers and raw emotion he discovered in rave culture and ritual magick. From his unresolved grief for his parents and his cultural ancestors to political and religious non-conformists, social outlaws, experimental pioneers, and acid house culture, Ru Callender has taken to an outsider "DIY" ethos to help people navigate grief and death. He has carried coffins across windswept beaches, sat in pubs with caskets on beer-stained tables, helped children fire flaming arrows into their father's funeral pyre, turned modern occult rituals into performance art and, with the band members of KLF, is building the People's Pyramid of bony bricks in Liverpool. What Remains? is a profound, deeply moving, and politically charged book that will change the way readers think about life, death, and the all-important end-of-life experience. "Rupert Callender hope[s] to redefine the funeral."--The Telegraph "Death has shown me unimaginable horror, the unbreakable core of love and courage that lies at the heart of what it means to be human."--Rupert Callender, from What Remains?

Refugium – et år i takt med naturens rytme inviterer dig til at se nærmere på, hvad der sker i naturen og i dig selv, når årstiderne skifter. I bogen finder du inspiration og redskaber til at sætte pris på hver enkelt måned gennem mindfulness, gamle årstidsfejringer (du har måske hørt om solhverv – men hvad med majaften eller jævndøgn?), hverdagsvenlige ritualer, traditioner, opskrifter og aktiviteter, som alle skaber en pause for refleksion og forbindelse til dig selv, dine rødder og naturen. Hver måned bliver du desuden introduceret til gammel dansk urtemedicin, så du, når året er omme, har fået dig et virksomt hjemmeapotek med alt fra urteteer, kropsolier, udtræk i honning og alkohol og meget mere. Bogen er skrevet til dig, der gerne vil genetablere forbindelsen til naturen, fejre sæsonernes skiften, genoplive gamle traditioner og sænke tempoet i din hverdag. Mia Gardum er født og opvokset i byen, men oplevede under corona-nedlukningen en stor længsel efter at bruge mere tid i naturen. Det blev startskuddet til en ny livsstil med årstidernes cyklus som inspiration. Mias perspektiv kommer ikke fra en naturekspert, men fra en moderne byboer, som har oplevet stor glæde ved at sænke tempoet og genfinde forbindelsen til naturen i sin ellers “almindelige” hverdag. Hun formidler på en poetisk og sanselig måde, og hun inspirerer sine læsere til at sænke tempoet og følge naturens cyklus i deres eget liv. Mia Gardum driver en succesfuld instagram og et nyhedsbrev, hvor hun gennem året sender “årstidsbreve” til sine læsere. Det er netop disse populære nyhedsbreve, som Refugium – et år i takt med naturens rytme bygger videre på.
