Errica Adams-Berger is a South African-born creative whose deep connection to nature and passion for sustainability are woven into every facet of her work. As the founder of the Khoi San E Foundation, she established this platform to honor and preserve the sustainable lifestyle values of the indigenous Khoi and San people of Southern Africa. Inspired by her own heritage, Errica’s foundation aims to educate, celebrate, and safeguard the cultural legacy of these remarkable communities, whose deep respect for nature and community care offer invaluable lessons for today’s world.
Errica’s creative journey began in her early childhood, where she found solace and inspiration in the natural beauty around her. “Nature was always a great equalizer for me, despite societal pressures. The warmth of the sun, the scent of wildflowers, the crispness of mountain snow—these were universal experiences that connected us all.” Her connection to the earth became not just a source of inspiration but a calling. As she grew, so did her awareness of environmental challenges, igniting her mission to fuse her creative pursuits with a commitment to sustainability.
Today, Errica expresses this ethos through her jewelry brand, where each piece is a reflection of her deep bond with the earth, and through her dedication to the Khoi San E Foundation. “I’m driven by a yearning to rekindle respect for the Khoisan people, Southern Africa’s original inhabitants. Their values of community, care, and a harmonious relationship with nature are principles we can all learn from.”
With homes in both Munich and Franschhoek, Errica continues to balance her artistic vision with her commitment to preserving nature and indigenous culture, creating beautiful, sustainable pieces that resonate with her deep-rooted values.
