A relationship where we stop seeing animals as little more than souless machines and the earth itself as nothing but a resource to exploit. A being with that remains ignorant of the hauntings held by the land, of histories known and silenced. Stephan puts forward a radical approach to the ecological crisis by arguing that many of the problems we now face stem from having lost our intuitive relationship with nature. His work is based on careful integration of rational scientific analysis with our intuition, sensing and feeling - a vitally important task at this time of severe ecological and climate crisis. Stephan Harding is one of the few people who knows how to link the science of Gaia with the spirit of Gaia .

This dream, the defining mark of modernity that refuses the description of a disabled ecology and its ethical attunement, has disabled the earth. Designed by environmental sculpture artist George Trakas, the Nature Walk beautifully fulfills the artists’ intention to “not divide the industry and nature between which it is situated, but instead actively integrate this space as a vibrant intersection where multiple histories, cultural identities and geologic epochs exist.In the chapter on the fungi kingdom, Harding speculates how the network of mycylea may resemble the animal brain --- intelligent, a view I've also written about in my blog entry, The Secret Life of Fungi.

When I asked the eight-hundred-year-old larch if I could place the puppet in front of ki, at first, I did not feel consent. Building on the revolutionary discoveries of James Lovelock’s Gaia Theory, Stephan goes one step further and explores opportunities to heal our relationship with the Earth through the new discipline of holistic science. An exciting exploration into how Gaian science can help us to develop a sense of connectedness with the 'more-than-human' world.

This Dream Puppet journey to the Yaak Valley began a multi-year creative environmental project in eastern forests, Soils and Spirit. You may be surprised to hear how the art of puppetry animation is a practice of deep imaginative embodied listening.Except for when you lose one of the horns that took over twenty hours to make and make a two-hour U-turn. A documentary film written and presented by Dr Stephan Harding, renowned ecologist and colleague of James Lovelock.
