Hello, 

We are excited to update you about our event on Monday at the Phoenix Garden next week on Monday 23rd September. We have planned an evening of talks and discussion to connect nature, law and practice for us all. There will also be some delicious nourishing vegan food. There are still some tickets available so if you’d like to join us, we’d love to have you. To get tickets, click here.

Here are some more details on our line up:

Brontie Ansell and Paul Powlesland (co-founders of Lawyers for Nature) will introduce you to us and the work that we do.

Dr Juliet Rose, Head of Development at The Eden Project has a background in Plant Science, Horticulture and Strategic Environmental Management Planning for Degraded Land. She will focus on nature in the UK and how we set about managing recovery and the opportunities and challenges ahead. 

Our keynote speaker for the evening is Paddy Loughman. Paddy works independently on various efforts to face and encourage change. He is a co-founder of Stories For Life and the Reset Narratives Community, he spent two years with the UNFCCC High Level Champions for Climate Action (for COP26). He is currently exploring how communication, collective healing and imagination can help us awaken to what science and wisdom traditions reveal about the nature of reality, and the potential of a more viable and beautiful world.

David Hunter, Senior Counsel at Bates Wells, and author of The Uncertain Solicitor blog will be talking about how you can incorporate nature-centric work into your practice. 

Food and drink

We will be providing a light vegan supper - curated by Bogdan Theo, food and drink expert whose delicious food is local and seasonal, and describes his most important ingredient as being “love’’, along with a refreshing non-alcoholic drink.
