Centre for Integrative Law

Centre for Integrative Law In addition, the CIL consults to law schools and other organisations around humanizing legal education.

The Centre for Integrative Law currently runs AWAKENING LAWYERS offering online programmes & coaching for lawyers who want to practise law in ways that are as spiritually evolved as they are. Drawing on a network of global thought leaders in the Integrative Law Movement and using local experts in leadership, organisational development and values, the CIL provides cutting-edge training programmes t

o individual lawyers, law firms and in-house legal departments. These programmes range from introducing new forms of legal practice such as Collaborative Divorce, to practising law more mindfully and promoting emotionally competent and client-centred lawyering. We also run WOLELA - Women Leading in Law, a network of women lawyers.

To focus on the legal system, we have created a system which reflects the collective consciousness of humanity. The external world is only a REFLECTION OR CREATION of what we hold in our minds. Just like any building is a reflection of what the architect held in his/her mind before it came into being.

It is our earthly mandate to build a new legal system

There is a LOT going on energetically right now.

We are ALL being affected. The only difference is that some people are aware of WHY things are happening to them, WHY jobs/ marriages/ homes/ friendships may be falling away and WHY the world seems to be more divided and chaotic than ever.

We are in the middle of a massive planetary shift.

The whole “waking process” can be hard to understand because for many of us the concept of living simultaneously in multiple dimensions is just a bit too weird, right? You can think of it like dreaming perhaps. You haven’t moved physically from your bed, but your mind is having a whole experience of literally a different world, maybe one in which you fly, or experience your past or whatever it is you dream of! So these dimensions are experiences we have in our consciousness, even while our bodies remain right here. It may help to think of the 5th dimension as you being able to access the highest and best parts of yourself - that don't hold any of the ego's fears that your 3rd dimensional self does.

What’s happening now is that we are being shown what we have collectively created in the world, by not accessing higher consciousness and a lot of it is pretty sh*tty, right?

To focus on the legal system, we have created a system which reflects the collective consciousness of humanity. The external world is only a REFLECTION OR CREATION of what we hold in our minds. Just like any building is a reflection of what the architect held in his/her mind before it came into being.

Humanity has, for thousands of years, believed that other people who are not like us, are scary and something to protect ourselves against. We have created a legal system that “others” people. That dehumanises people. That incarcerates people. That puts people against each other, whether they are companies signing a JV, or people getting divorced or employees joining a company. Our approach is “protect people from each other”. For centuries legal systems have divided people based on their skin colour, their gender, their nationality.
The law has been used for oppression as much as it has been used for good.

This is going to change.

We are awakening. ALL OF US. But it is happening in waves and so right now only the 1st wave is seeing what’s occurring.

As we awaken we start to see each other as spiritual beings having a human experience, not as “potential enemies”, “people waiting to screw us over” or “animals”. But in a thought system based on scarcity of resources we think we have to fight for our piece of the pie.

As we awaken we are starting to see that everybody is a sovereign being, a soul with a unique set of circumstances that has perhaps caused that soul to lose its way. Our responsibility as evolving human beings is to help that soul find its path again, not to chain it up or destroy its sense of self on the witness stand.

The briefest way I can articulate what is unfolding is this:

Our legal system (the exterior world) is only a reflection of our collective consciousness.
As our consciousness changes, so must the system.
The reason integrative lawyers are exhausted is because they keep trying to change the system, when we have to start by changing our consciousness.
It’s not possible to do it the other way around!
As more and more people awaken, we see each other as spiritual beings and start to see that people are basically good! Crises can bring out the best in people! There are billions of us on this planet and most of us actually want the same things! “They” are not the enemy, whether it’s “them on the other side of the border” or “them who look different to us” or “them who worship a different God”.

Unity consciousness is starting to “get” (not just intellectually) that we’re all fragments of one consciousness. We are all deserving. We are all down here on this planet trying to find our way home.

We will build a new legal system that reflects the new consciousness.

This will happen much faster than any of us anticipated.

It means the old systems will dissolve. That is scary. But we must be brave because it is our mandate if we’ve chosen to be alive now, to birth a new earth.

And those who are fighting this rising of light are now FIGHTING hard! So we will see a sudden rise in fascism, in tyranny, in removal of basic human freedoms. Those whose only interest is amassing wealth will be exposed.

There is also a mass resigning of people from jobs which no longer support them or support the new earth.

It’s going to get rougher dear ones.

This is happening, like it or not.

And it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

The Good News

Multiple sources of channeled information are ALL showing the SAME THING. Yes, it feels chaotic on this planet but we are shifting to a new earth. The spiritual guides I work with and the multiple channeled articles and books coming through at this time, confirm that this is a GOOD TIME. That we DO HAVE A CHOICE:

"As you continue aligning your choices with the wisdom carried within you, please know the ebbing and flowing you see in the world is how the collective ego structure responds to the threat of evolutionary change."

In the new era of law lawyers will be more like energy healers. Conflict, emotions and money are all about energy, and we will be empowering clients to shift these energies in themselves and in their relationships. The traditional "legal" bit of drawing up documents, stamping them, registering things, will become less and less important, they are supportive structures, not the work itself. The shift I am being shown is along this continuum: we're moving from traditional law (which is all about logic, reason, certainty) towards integrative law (integrating emotion and creativity - the whole right hand side of the brain) towards what is NOW unfolding - a true reclaiming of law as a spiritual profession which recognises that each person is a spiritual and sovereign being, creating their reality as a result of their consciousness.

I don't know what the numbers of lawyers are who understand this and can hold the vision of where we are going. I only know that they exist and that we are finding each other across the world thanks to technology.

And I know I am stepping into my purpose to allow others to do the same.

In front of me is my printed file of channeled readings for MYSELF from 2015. The page open now says January 2015:

"Your purpose as you already know is to bring illumination to the legal profession. Do not doubt your purpose. You are gathering many who together can bring about change by bringing higher frequencies to the legal profession. We would suggest you begin with the building of the network that will hold, energetically, the work which will come next. Think of it as a giant web of energy that is highly flexible like a giant bouncy spiderweb of lightpoints in which the next projects can be held and then released."

I held off on this since 2015. For 6 years I was too afraid of stepping into my power, of what lawyers would think, of all the things that could go wrong. I'm done with the fears. It is time.

Are you ready to create the new earth? Or, to get guidance from your spiritual guides about your path?

DM ME NOW ⚡️

THE Legal Lightworkers VIP Academy starts 4 November for 8 weeks. The final integration week is in January.

It’s the biggest, most energy intensive programme I have every offered. This is not about obliquely referring to the spiritual world - it is a full on immersion and activation into new frequencies brought through me by the multiple guides I work with.

It is an invitation for a select group of legal lightworkers who are completely ready to live inside the vibration of their true work and calling.

It is an activation portal that will provide these leaders with multidimensional support to clear the spiritual, mental, emotional or financial blocks holding them back, so they can step fully into their earth mission.

Intuition will tell you if you’re meant to be part of it. This isn't about "rational", "logical" decision making. The best decisions I ever made weren't! To create a "conscious law centre", to marry the man I did, to have a kid! These were my HEARTFELT calls. Not logical ones. When have you followed your heart? What did it lead to?

Law students, can you imagine how cool it would be to have a successful lawyer who's had a 20 or 30 year head start on you in figuring out how to thrive in the law, help YOU with thinking about your career? There are just 25 Sponsored places on the Awakening Lawyers Mentorship programme that starts 24 May 2021. It is online and runs for 3 months. What one student said:
"The Integrative law movement got me excited, I was unaware of the many different paths under the umbrella term " Integrative law". Universities are NOT teaching students this stuff - yet it's what you need to know to create a fulfilling career in the law. You need to know there are options for practising differently, that allow you to bring all of who you are to the law."

24 HOUR FLASH SALE! SIGN UP WITH A FRIEND YOU EACH SAVE R2500. Times are tough, and everything is better with a buddy.
Awakening Lawyers are lawyers awakening to a new consciousness emerging in the law. These lawyers see the dysfunction and toxicity of the current legal system and rather than quitting law or numbing their pain,
feel called to awaken and shift to being peacemakers, justice warriors and as activists for social change.

In my experience, lawyers usually awaken when they have a personal crisis or challenge and they start to question the lack of alignment between their values, and the values of the legal system they practise in. They question the role of lawyers in society and want to humanise the system.
If you want to shift how you practise, or even start to IMAGINE and be INSPIRED about how you might lawyer differently, join me for CREATE YOUR PATH AS AN AWAKENING LAWYER 23 March to 14 May.

The legal system in many ways is:
elitist
patriarchal
racist
sexist
dysfunctional

But we can be the change if we dare to practise law differently.
This takes enormous courage.
And it takes a supportive community
And that is what my programmes provide.

I will work with you on the physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual level. You can expect transformation.

I don’t just want to sell programmes to lawyers who are not ready for this work.

I want to work with you if you are ready to find ways to practise law in alignment with who you really are.

The world more than ever needs lawyers who are awake and who are doing what they came here to do.

Are you one of them?

You can be.

If you are an awakening lawyer and you haven’t yet discovered your tribe and reinvented the way you practise, chances are that you feel:
you have much more to offer the world than you are currently able to
The way you’re practising now exhausts you
You’re yearning to feel greater alignment between who you are and what you do
you think back to why you were drawn to the law and think “this isn’t it”
You look around legal environments and despite being able to play the game, you feel profoundly out of place.

Let’s uncover your story as an Awakening Lawyer.
Let’s get you to Greatness.

Do you know what your “Life PHD” has been in? Mine has been in spiritual and personal development (integrating the different parts of my and making sense of the big questions like“why are we here? Why is there so much suffering?”) AND in the struggles of lawyers. This, combined with my being a qualified attorney proved to be exactly the curriculum I needed to work in the niche intersection between law and spirituality.

Success for me now means using all I’ve been through to support lawyers towards doing what they came here to do and being happier and healthier for it. And I LOVE what I do!

Many lawyers haven't yet found their niche. They are burnt out, and dissatisfied, yet know deep within that they may have a different purpose within the law.

CREATE YOUR PATH AS AN AWAKENING LAWYER is an 8 week online group coaching experience OPEN FOR ENROLMENT NOW, starts 22 March.
It is a personal and professional development course for lawyers who want to do world-changing work in a heart-centred way and learn:
to see conflict in a new way
to see your role in a new way
to become changemakers
to uncover what you came here to do and what’s in your way
to learn key principles for creating your new career/ truer version of your offering
The extraordinary difference you won’t find in any other programme (and definitely not in a programme for lawyers!) is that I decided to include a channelled reading for each participant in this programme. I’m a channel, which means I can access people’s spiritual guides. As part of this programme, I will do a personal reading for YOU, about your path, and what’s holding you back, and ask about what it is you are here to do.

TO SEE ALL DETAILS OF THE COURSE, visit my new site www.awakeninglawyers.com and please subscribe if you’d like to stay in the loop. I am REALLY excited about what is unfolding and the number of lawyers waking up and changing the world.

If this isn’t your cup of tea, would you mind helping me (and the whole Integrative Law Movement) out by sharing this with some lawyer friends who are ready to make changes, but don’t know how? I'm hoping the 8 lawyers that need this transformational programme now, will find me.

Here’s to more lawyers honouring law as a sacred practice.

Crash, boom, bang! Hello 2021. Systemic collapse of our systems has accelerated. It's scary but it's also time we built new systems that better serve humanity. Integrative Lawyers THIS IS OUR TIME! THE WORLD IS FINALLY READY. If you are a law student or lawyer in early practice, listen up - and if you're an integrative lawyer, please share this with your mentees.

I built this course for LAW STUDENTS AND YOUNG LAWYERS: Create a Life you Love in the Law . Figure out why YOU were called to the law - and WHY at this time? Make things better.

Nearly every one of the students who have taken this course asked me "WHY do we not learn this stuff in university?". The answer is that the universities haven't been ready..they're getting there. But meanwhile students are struggling to find their way. So if you KNOW a traditional legal career AKA billable hour corporate slavery is not your cup of tea, PLEASE take a look.

University of Cape Town student Sundani says" This course is amazing! It is incredibly affirming, encouraging and challenging. As a law student, I have always left as though I did not belong, as though my ideas and thoughts were unacceptable in the legal space and that I would, ultimately, have to conform or just leave the profession completely. Amanda, through this course, told me several times explicitly and through examples that my ideas and voice matter. It's well-rounded and holistic & manages to cover every part of you. There is no part of you that will not be spoken to. Your personal life is covered, your work is covered, your dreams and goals are covered. Your physical and mental health. No stone is left unturned. The course is so well-rounded and well-organised. Amanda is a wonderful teacher and speaker!"

https://www.udemy.com/course/create-a-life-you-love-in-the-law/?referralCode=FEDA7664AEE16CD70CED

The good news is that I'm leaving this course at R450 which is about $30 until end Feb. After that I'm getting off Udemy and won't sell courses for less than R1000 or $75.

You can watch several of the videos for free to see if this grabs you. Wishing you much joy as you navigate your way to a new career in the law. (PS courses for more seasoned practitioners and advanced Legal Lightworkers are in development).
PS please use THIS link given - or else Udemy doesn't pay me anything.

This is me, Amanda Lamond, AKA the "Compulsive Disclosurist" sharing about my radically stressful law degree experience, and how I've put all my suffering and discovery into a course for you!

If you'd like to take a look at or buy the course please click here https://www.udemy.com/course/create-a-life-you-love-in-the-law/?referralCode=FEDA7664AEE16CD70CED

I've decided to keep it on Udemy for Dec 2020 at R450 but in 2021 I am shifting to using a different online platform for my courses, which will require pricing them all higher. Udemy offers many courses at under R200 which kind of makes anything more than that appear super expensive! I'm torn between wanting to make my work available to as many as possible, yet also needing to earn a living from what I do, and the 3 weeks of work (and lifetime of experience) I've put into the creation of this course. I may record a shorter course, say 1 hour, to keep at low cost on Udemy, and move this one to about R750/ R1000. So buy now if you'd like to be sure to get it at R450.

Our story

Put simply, the legal system no longer serves the needs of society at this time in our evolution. So it needs to evolve - and happily it is! All other the world there are lawyers who are thought leaders in the Integrative Law Movement, who are discovering better ways lawyers can practise law, meet clients needs, bill differently, BE differently, provide meaningful conflict resolution and conflict transformation. The Centre for Integrative Law is a South African based organisation bringing these developments to SA, which include cutting-edge training programmes for individual lawyers, law firms and in-house legal departments. These programmes range from introducing new forms of legal practice such as Collaborative Divorce, to practising law more mindfully and promoting emotionally competent and client-centred lawyering.

In addition, the CIL consults to law schools and other organisations around humanizing legal education. We also run WOLELA - Women Leading in Law, a network of women lawyers.
