Greetings friends,
Today The Gaia Foundation launches an
interactive story and
a new 4-min animation, narrated by Nnimmo Bassey and exploring the emergence of Earth
Jurisprudence.
Please do view, read, ponder – to
find out what Earth Jurisprudence is and why we need to start telling another story about our place on Earth that is both new and ancient.
If you feel inspired, we would love for you to share with your networks and through social media. I attach a social media toolkit in case helpful.
We really hope that you enjoy these offerings which honour Thomas Berry’s legacy on the anniversary of his birth.
If you would like to subscribe to receive future Earth Jurisprudence Updates, you can do so

With warm wishes,

Greetings Friends and Allies,
On the anniversary of Thomas Berry’s birthday, we share an interactive story and new animation reflecting on how his philosophy of Earth Jurisprudence emerged, narrated by poet and
Earth justice advocate Nnimmo Bassey.
We stand at a crossroads in human history with government leaders convening for conferences on climate change and biodiversity in the next few weeks. Meanwhile, the fabric of life is
unravelling.
"The deepest crises experienced by any society are those moments of change when the story becomes inadequate for meeting the survival demands of the present situation.” – Thomas
Berry
At this critical time, we invite you to share a new story that is also very ancient. Earth Jurisprudence encourages us to remember and re-establish a mutually enhancing relationship
with our living world. It acknowledges indigenous ways of seeing as foundational to the transformation required and is gaining momentum within the industrial growth society that is holding life to ransom.
If you feel inspired to do so, we would love for you to share the animation and interactive story with your networks and through social media.
With appreciation,
Carlotta, on behalf of the Gaia Team
