Gaia Theory could represent one of the most important shifts in scientific thinking over the last three hundred years. It proposes that the Earth is more than just a dead lump of rock that we happen to live on. Rather it can be viewed as a single living system, or ‘super-organism’, that we are part of. This course introduces the science behind Gaia Theory and also explores what it might mean for us in the fields of psychology, ecology and spirituality.
