Sense-Making in a Changing World Gaian Ecology - Dr Stephan Harding with Morag Gamble
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 and Helena Norberg-Hodge.

I am a possibilitarian and I believe in HumanKINDness.
In this podcast my guests and I explore How are we to live? Really live, as nature ourselves, tending the conditions where life can thrive. We ask How do we become the kind of humans this moment is asking us to be?
This podcast is one of my acts of myceliation. Each conversation is a thread in a vast network of people speaking up for life with love and care.
This podcast beams out from my hand-built solar-powered studio in the midst of a permaculture food forest in a permaculture ecovillage on Jinibara and Gubbi Gubbi country.
If this episode lights something in you, pass it to one person who needs it. That is how myceliation works.
