Gaia & Deep Ecology

Gaia theory guides us through scientific data to see the planet as a living organism, rather than a resource for human exploitation. It challenges a mechanistic worldview of nature by showing the relationships between living beings and natural elements such as rocks, atmosphere and water. Through this understanding of the interconnected relationships, we can discover how they collectively give rise to Gaia – the emergent self-regulating Earth.

The philosophy of Deep Ecology proposes a shift of consciousness, providing an integration of scientific, philosophical and practical foundations. It helps us develop a profound engagement with the natural world, going beyond surface-level understanding.

Both of these concepts serve as living guides to deepen our understanding of ‘We are Nature’.
