Our bear

Our symbol is depicted as a Mother Bear wearing a Samurai Kabuto (Samurai Helmet).The symbolism of our bear is predicated on the natural law of duality and the belief that life is a balancing act of Order and Chaos.The mother bear symbolises feminine, care, compassion and chaos. The Samurai Helmet symbolises masculine, being a warrior, taking action and order. Wearing our brand externally encourages finding this balance internally. This is our symbol of duality, of balance.
