Dr Stephan Harding is a Holistic Scientist, Deep Ecologist and co-founder of the legendary Schumacher College. Stephan’s work intersects scientific ecology, with gaia theory and our psyche and soul. Author of two books, Animate Earth and new publication, Gaia Alchemy. Stephan has worked and taught alongside the world's leading ecological thinkers, feelers and activists. And has worked closely with scientist James Lovelock, a mentor, who developed the Gaia theory hypothesis.

Join Dan and Stephan discuss:

• Who is Gaia and what’s her history?

• James Lovelock an independent scientist and great mentor

• From the scientific study of the Muntjac Deer to the deep connection of the wholeness of nature

• We are not just thinkers. We’re equally, feelers, sensors and intuitors

• We’re inherently animistic with a spiritual connection to nature. And we can still value science

• A cultural revolution needs to happen quicker than any other, for the sake of all beings

• Gaia Alchemy. Why put alchemy with science?

• Healing a crisis of meaning and the Azoth of Philosophy

• Valuing the psyche over the ego. Do we invent ideas or do we receive them?

• Find your Gaia place

• We have two bodies. One, a human body which lives inside the wider body of the Earth, Gaia.
