Earth Talk: Gaia’s Lessons With Fritjof Capra and Stephan Harding

From a systemic and ecological perspective, the Covid-19 pandemic can be seen as a biological response of Gaia, our living planet, to the ecological and social emergency humanity as brought upon itself.

In this Earth Talk, Fritjof and Stephan will discuss the valuable, life-saving lessons Gaia has offered us with this pandemic, and the urgent need to also apply these lessons to the climate crisis.
