There is an inner dimension to climate change that the world is ignoring — a need to heal the disconnection from ourselves, each other, and nature; a need for resilience as we face the chaos ahead. Join Jamie Bristow — co-director of The Mindfulness Initiative and one of the world’s leaders in applying mindfulness to politics and public life — for a special discussion about the importance of mindfulness and compassion practices as we move through the ‘age of consequences’ and into a new era of planetary health. In conversation with Garrison Institute co-founder Jonathan F.P. Rose, Jamie also shares top-level findings from the MI’s landmark report published earlier this year, “Reconnection: Meeting the Climate Crisis Inside Out,” which incorporates wisdom from more than two dozen policymakers and politicians, as well as growing research that links internal transformation to environmental sustainability.
