Transition Crouch End 'Rights of Nature' event at Meadow Orchard Project Sun 26th Oct 2.30 - 4.30pm
With inspirational speaker & international humanitarian lawyer Mumta Ito
Mumta began her legal career in the heart of London’s financial sector, advising investment banks, multinationals and governments on large-scale complex transactions.
Today she is using her legal training to serve humanity. She set up the Virgin Islands Environmental Council, challenging the whole relationship between human law and the laws of nature, resulting in the ultimate protection of an area of international ecological importance.
Despite this success, Mumta had come to the realization that our modern legal system was inadequate at protecting the inherent rights of nature . This led her to the creation of the International Centre for Wholistic Law based in the Findhorn Foundation Community in Scotland. According to the Centre it recognizes nature, as having “the right to exist, persist, renew and maintain its vital cycles. Its about empowering people and communities to advocate for nature - by applying wholistic principles that encompass but also go way beyond the simple application of 'law' as it is generally understood. It also respects the interconnectedness of all life and that humans are but one part of that.
Mumta is currently engaged in a European Citizens' Initiative designed to change the world by embedding the rights of Mother Earth in the legal system of the 28-nation European Union.
At a time of increasing insanity in the race of extreme energy extraction techchniques , illicit transatlantic trade agreements (TTIP) etc, come hear her inspiring stories around the globe, and calls to Action including the pressing crises in Ecuadorian Amazon. Hear Mumta's proposals for how we can immediately make a difference in our local communities.

"Occupy Love" & TTIP Film Event
Monday 29th Sept 2014
Join acclaimed director Velcrow Ripper (Scared Sacred, Fierce Light) on a journey deep inside the revolution of the heart that is erupting around the planet, as he asks the question, “How could the crisis we are facing become a love story?”
Occupy Love explores the growing realisation that the dominant system of power is failing to provide us with health, happiness or meaning.
The old paradigm that concentrates wealth, founded on the greed of the few, is causing economic and ecological collapse.
The resulting crisis has become the catalyst for a profound awakening: millions of people are deciding that enough is enough – the time has come to create a new world, a world that works for all life.
The film connects the dots in this era of rapidly evolving social change, featuring captivating insider scenes from the Egyptian Revolution, the Indignado uprising in Spain, Occupy Wall Street in New York, Indigenous activists at the Alberta Tar Sands, the climate justice movement, and beyond. Woven throughout the action oriented backbone of the film is a deep exploration of public love, and compelling stories of an emerging new paradigm.
It features some of the world’s key visionaries on alternative systems of economics, sustainability, and empathy, including Naomi Klein, Bill McKibben, Jeremy Rifkin, bell hooks and Charles Eisenstein.
Join our screening to find out more about TTIP - the latest threat to our way of life, our environment and the security of our food chain. Choose to be part of a creative and powerful response!
