Stefanie and Luke

At the heart of our two-decade relationship is a commitment to living according to our ethical and ecological principles. Who we are as individuals, life partners, and members of families, communities, and society is deeply shaped by our deliberate, enthusiastic decisions to be vegan and minimalist, to be childfree and to share our lives daily with non-human companions (both indoors and outdoors). These aspects of our lives and identities fit together like pieces of a puzzle, reinforcing and energizing one another, and they provide us a sense of contentment and direction in even the hardest times.
