For my second week at Schumacher College the focus of our studies shifted to Gaia Theory and ecological systems in general. Frijof presented materials from his "Hidden Connections" and "Web of Life" books and Stephan Harding presented work from his book "Animate Earth". After one session Stephan took us up to Dartmoor for a "Gaia walk" (pictured) where we looked at the systems he had been describing in the morning. This was a great experience. Other highlights from the week included a tour of the forest garden next to the college and presentations from other course participants
