Council

Our structure is light. The cycle of the moon determines the cycle of meetings between a Council. Their guidance follows the principle of ’emergence’, whereby change emerges from connections: the only form of organisation practiced by our living planet. 

Council

Ancestors

Story of Origin

Read the story of the African Earth Jurisprudence Collective, from our beginnings in the Amazon to our present form, reaching 10,000 people plus a greater number of beings who crawl, fly, slither and swim than we can count. 

Story of Origin

The world doesn’t change one person at a time. It changes as networks of relationships form among people who discover they share a common cause and vision of what’s possible. Rather than worry about critical mass, our work is to foster critical connections. When separate, local efforts connect with each other as networks, then strengthen as communities of practice, suddenly and surprisingly a new system emerges at a greater level of scale.
