Stephan Harding, Lecturer and Resident Ecologist at Schumacher College, talks about the need to establish the right relationship with the planet as a living entity in which we are indissolubly embedded, and to which we are all accountable. He explores how Gaian science can help us to develop a sense of connectedness with the 'more-than-human' world and how we can integrate rational scientific analysis with our intuition, sensing and feeling: a vitally important task at this time of an ecological and climatic crisis.
Stephan Harding holds a PhD in ecology from the University of Oxford. He is the Co-ordinator of the MSc in Holistic Science at Schumacher College, where he is also Resident Ecologist. He has worked alongside many of the world's leading experts on ecological thought and action, including James Lovelock, with whom he has collaborated for many years on the development of Gaian thinking.
