It is my great pleasure to welcome my dear friend Stephan Harding to the show today. Dr Stephan Harding, the Deep Ecology Research Fellow from Schumacher College, is a world-renown Gaian Ecologist, musician, walker, nature-lover, film-maker, father, and is co-founder of the Masters of Holistic Science at Schumacher College with the late Professor Brian Goodwin.  His is also the Dartington Estate Ecologist in Devon and author of Animate Earth: Science, Intuition and Gaia, and just recently, Gaia Alchemy. His book Animate Earth was made into a film - see here.   Stephan Harding is also co-creator of the Deep Time Walk along the Devonian coastline

Join me in conversation with Dr Stephan Harding as we walk and talk  - exploring Gaia, James Lovelock and Schumacher College. He is a long time colleague of James Lovelock, creator of the Gaia Theory, who is now 101.  Our conversation was recorded pre-covid when I was last at the College teaching with Stephan and others on the Beyond Development course.

I have known Stephan since 1992 when I was a resident at Schumacher College taking a course where Stephan was co-teaching with systems thinker Fritjof Capra, deep ecologist Arne Naess and others.  That same year, I travelled with Stephan and his wife, Julia Ponsonby (Head of Food at Schumacher College and author of two Gaia's Kitchen Cookbooks) to the other side of the Himalayas to volunteer with Ladakh Project a

I'd love to hear from you. Text me here.
