Mindfulness in Parliament with Jamie Bristow

"Over 400 MP's and members of the House of Lords have had Mindfulness training"

Jamie Bristow is Director of The Mindfulness Initiative, a policy institute about mindfulness and compassion training that grew out of a programme of mindfulness teaching for politicians in the British Parliament. We talk about the game-changing efforts that are taking place to educate our politicians to meditate and understand the benefits so that change can be made in the correct way from the very top. Jamie has spent many years helping to teach and share mindfulness, having worked with Andy at headspace as the business development director, and also was the co-director of the Mindfulness initiative. Founded originally in 2013 by Chris Cullen and Madeline Bunting to support British Politicians in forming the All party parliamentary group on Mindfulness. We dig into his early years, Jamie's desire to help others, what it means to be intentional, foundational Mindfulness, and we discuss his passion and work for climate change.
