Femke Wijdekop joins us from The Netherlands. At one point, she felt like the practice of law was not right for her. So, she quit it and worked in a bookstore. But now she is a legal counsel and content manager for Stop Ecocide NL and a member of the Environmental Restorative Justice Working Group. She is fueled by love – for humanity, for nature, for earth.
In our conversation, Femke said something that really resonated with me. She explained that she focuses on the regenerative environmental work and practices being done because by focusing on them we are giving more life and more power to them, which then creates more regenerative practices and work. We talked about this and so much more including:
Her Journey from leaving the law to living with purpose with the law
Earth Law and Ecocide
Successes with Earth Law and the Stop Ecocide movement
Her Ted Talk, How Law Can Save the Earth
Challenges for Earth Law and the environment
The interconnection between Restorative Justice and Earth Law
Integrative Law and what being an integrative lawyer means to her.
