Join the movement for systemic transformation.

We amplify the voices of changemakers. Instead of a traditional faculty, we are creating the first platform where students, specialists, activists, and wisdom keepers can connect, experiment, and organize for socio-political and ecological justice.

The Institute is expanding and accelerating the growing movement that is calling humanity back into alignment with Nature.

Natural Law is the unifying philosophy for this new era of connection and stewardship.

It is the organizing intelligence of the natural universe — a system of objective principles, unrelated to culture or religion, which govern all life.

When frameworks of Natural Law are integrated into applied sciences, practices become more regenerative and organically abundant. We focus on the following four areas to provide examples of this.


Earth Regeneration

Shifting from the illusion of separateness towards the awareness of Natural Law reminds us that we are part of the greater whole, the Earth community. With this understanding, ecological restoration of Earth is prioritized, paving the way for natural regeneration across all living systems.


Social Restoration

Reseeding the ancient wisdom of interconnectedness and interdependence to reestablish equality, sovereignty and the rights of Nature. Accountability, truth, and reconciliation are foundational tenets of healing on our journey towards social unity.


New Economies

Transitioning towards economic models that prioritize shared abundance and environmental sustainability. Divesting from centralized systems to redistribute power and resources. Adopting circular economies, inspired by nature, to redefine production and consumption, minimizing waste.


Evolved Governance

Redefining our organizational structures and legal systems to shift towards more Earth-centered and locally derived governance models. Designing resilient and regenerative communities and municipalities for the benefit of all.
