149. Presenting: The Way Out Is In with Christiana Figueres
As many around the world turn inward this week, we bring you a special episode featuring Christiana Figueres from \u2018The Way Out Is In\u2019 podcast.
Many of us are looking for a way out of the crises we face. Climate, biodiversity, ecological, nature, health, wealth inequality\u2026not to mention the deeply personal, familial, and interpersonal. A quick log in to twitter, checking the news, or reading the latest IPCC report reveals to us that we are on a path towards breakdown. We know there is a pathway out of this \u2018atlas of human suffering\u2019 as United Nations Secretary-General Ant\xf3nio Guterres recently said, but how do we chart that path?
This week, we suggest that the way out of suffering is in it.
Today we are sharing an episode from \u2018The Way Out Is In\u2019 podcast, produced by Plum Village, the Buddhist Monastery founded by the Late Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. Thich Nhat Hanh and his teachings were a vital support to Christiana in the lead up to the Paris Agreement and beyond.\xa0
In this episode, you\u2019ll hear co-hosts Jo Confino and Brother Ph\xe1p H\u1eefu invite Christiana on to share deeply about what brought her to Plum Village, both now and years ago during her first encounter with Thich Nhat Hanh; her journey to a spiritual practice that helped her overcome a personal crisis, and the transformative power of practices such as \u2018deep listening\u2019 and \u2018interbeing\u2019 on the negotiation process of The Paris Agreement.
So get comfortable, settle in, and join us for a special listen to Episode #21 of \u2018The Way Out Is In\u2019 - Being the Change We Want to See in the World: A Conversation with Christiana Figueres
