Earth - Science, Intuition and Gaia |
Animate Earth – Science, Intuition and Gaia with Dr. Stephan Harding, Coordinator of the MSc in Holistic Science, Schumacher College and University of Plymouth. This three day course will explore Dr. Harding’s unique blend of Jungian psychology, deep ecology and Gaian science. Participants will be introduced to Gaia Theory as an expansion of earth systems science and guided in a series of exploratory exercises to feel themselves as part of a living Earth.
This course is an ideal opportunity to understand the dynamics of Climate Change and find a new and more embodied relationship to Earth as the sacred ground of our being.
