Jamie Bristow – The Work That Reconnects
The Mind & Life podcast’s April 24 episode features Jamie Bristow alongside Shayontoni Ghosh, Chris Johnstone, Stephanie Kaza and Phoebe Tickell to discuss Joanna Macy’s Work That Reconnects, a contemplative framework that moves participants from gratitude and grief to courage and collective action. The conversation traces the evolution of Active Hope, highlights global workshop practices, and examines how the work is being adapted across cultures and institutions. Bristow’s background in mindfulness policy, his tenure with the UK’s All‑Party Parliamentary Group on Mindfulness, and his previous role at Headspace underscore the growing link between inner development and public‑sector climate strategy. The episode also spotlights Moral Imaginations, an organization training change agents through moral imagination.
