“MY FAILURES IN BEING NORMAL, AND SUCCESSES IN BEING HUMAN.”
My wife and I believe the ingredients to a healthy life start with the ingredients we put in our bodies. Through sourcing from local farms, Michigan brewers, and from local purveyors around the Upper Peninsula – we can support the communities we love while keeping it fresh. At BODEGA we work towards an experience of whole health, right in the heart of Downtown Marquette. Bring your friends, or make some here!
Michigan inspired merchandise including camouflage prints created with the shapes of Michigan, all 5 of the Great Lakes, and our signature wildlife silhouettes. Using art as therapy, my designs are inspired by the nature and wildlife that help guide my inner journey. Each MICHCAMO® product is infused with an energetic intention for life. Shop MICHCAMO® online, at your favorite Michigan retailer, or contact us today for custom orders, wholesale, and licensing options to Show your Michigan nature®!
Why? Creative healing. If you’ve been to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, you’ve experienced that inner calling. With countless opportunities to lose yourself in a forest, dance with waterfalls, and watch the sun disappear into the lake – the UP truly lets nature do the talking. Only Marquette’s great outdoors had space for my big emotions and questions while navigating childhood trauma and undiagnosed autism. The Because Marquette series is my own art therapy quest, dedicated to my inner child. These designs focus on giving gratitude back to the spaces that held me while I found my way and my why. I am alive and who I am today, because of Marquette.
By the time our inner landscape has developed we’ve been exposed to an abundance of stress, feelings, beliefs, and opinions from the world around us. Adopting these beliefs and opinions from others, our Human Hangover® starts to form and we forget who we are. Fatigued by the emotional stress of life, our mind and body start to compromise and accommodate to survive.
This hungover state of dysregulation slowly becomes our standard model for life and the root cause of many physical and mental discomforts. Learning to properly navigate and care ofr our inner landscape, guides us to finding sustainable health and living a life of authenticity. The Human Hangover map helps us navigate the inner landscape of body, mind, and spirit by connecting with emotions in the body and communicating with your unique nervous system.
