Blue Heron with Branch

The GTEC T-Shirt

GTEC is excited to announce that its iconic T-Shirt is now available for purchase, featuring an image of a heron with branch created by BC artist, Su Schnee.

Blue Heron with Branch symbolizes the Earth as a nest. The heron symbolizes patience and the heron’s nest holds the promise of the future. Each branch, carried one at a time, makes a container of new life possible. The nest represents home and shelter, interconnectedness, love, vulnerability, growth and renewal, and security.

And on the back of the GTEC T-Shirt from Poet Mary Kean:

Earth is the great nest from which we arise into love and life.
