We are Nature.

Natural Law is Nature observing Nature
Natural Law is a system of objective, universal principles unrelated to culture or religion which govern all life, and imply an ethical foundation derived from nature or reason.
As we face the threat of a socio-economic and ecological collapse, we can turn to Natural Law as a timeless framework that can be applied to ethics, regenerative solutions and an overall blueprint for survival and a thriving future on our planet.
The first step: acknowledging that we are not separate. We are Nature.
The embodiment of Natural Law can create seismic shifts within:
Ecology
Advocating for ethical stewardship, Indigenous reparations, the protection of natural land rights, and future responsibility while balancing human needs.
Social
Encouraging individuals and Institutions to adopt more moral and ethical behaviors and practices within the context of equality, sustainability, and human rights.
Economy
Challenging exploitative business practices, influencing regenerative investments, and emphasizing corporate responsibility for the common good.
Politics
Demanding accountability from our governments to uphold civil liberties, environmental protection, and human rights, influencing political debates, and legal reform.
