  1. Start with Peace: Michael Macy

    -10 H

    Start with Peace: Michael Macy

    Michael Macy may describe himself as having a minor role, but a front row seat in establishing peace across some of the world's most complex conflict zones - but the lessons he carries from those experiences are anything but minor. At the heart of this conversation is a deceptively simple but profound insight: "Too often people think you have to resolve all the conflicts before you can have peace. No, peace, in my experience, peace creates the space to resolve the conflict." Michael brings this to life through his experience of the Good Friday Agreement in Belfast, offering a rare and intimate perspective on how peace, when enacted, can do what negotiation alone cannot. He also shares what he's doing about it today. Through Enacting Peace, an international effort he co-founded, Michael invites people everywhere to mark each equinox and solstice with a conscious act of peace, however small. The invitation is simple but radical: to recognise your own capacity to contribute, to celebrate it, and to act on it. Michael mentions his friend Joe, he is referring to Joe Miller. You can find out more about Joe here. A little more about Michael:  Michael Macy is currently working to encourage peace.  He is on the board of the Abrahamic Reunion, working for peace in Israel and Palestine and a founder of Enacting Peace, an international effort to invite people to act for peace. It has no dogma, no dues and no politics, just a request and a hope that you will do something for peace.  He initially worked as a therapist, became a trial lawyer and hosted a radio talk show. He then spent nearly 30 years as a U.S. diplomat developing mutual understanding between the U.S. the UK, Mali, Malta, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, India, Haiti and Tunisia among others. In order to build those bridges, he worked with dancers, writers, artists, academics, journalists, religious community leaders and comedians.

    Never Discourage: Felicity Aston MBE

    Felicity Aston MBE is a climate scientist, polar explorer, expedition leader and record-breaker. She was the first woman to ski across Antarctica alone. Most recently, she led the B.I.G. (Before It’s Gone) Arctic Research Expedition, gathering vital material for Arctic sea ice research. In this episode, Felicity shares the importance of using what you’re good at to address the issues facing our world. For her, that means using her expertise in leading expeditions to tackle inequality for women, including bringing together women from across the Commonwealth to ski to the South Pole. She also speaks to something deeper: the responsibility of those in senior positions to champion those coming through. Felicity reflects on how painful it can be to be dismissed as naive, and the difference it makes when experience and wisdom are used to lift others instead.

    You Were Held: Love, Loss and Compassion at Birth - Gaynor Morrison

    In this episode, we’re joined by Gaynor Morrison, a midwife, lecturer and photographer, and the creator of You Were Held. Drawing on her role as a midwife safeguarding lead, Gaynor shares how she supports some of the most complex moments in care, when babies are removed from their mothers following court decisions. Through You Were Held, she offers a simple but profound gift: professional photographs taken at birth, created with care and dignity, to honour the bond, love and connection between mother and baby, even in separation. A powerful reflection on compassion in practice. More information about Gaynor:  Gaynor has worked in the NHS and in education over the past 30 years with her speciality and focus on Safeguarding vulnerable families. After leaving the front line of the NHS nearly 3 years ago, she was able to start the 'You were held' compassion project with her safeguarding manager Sharon Bunford, who arranges the governance, data protection and formalities. As a volunteer she is able to go back to the Trust and offer photography to mothers and birthing people who are being separated from their babies due to complex safeguarding situations, with a hope of capturing those first moments when the baby is held by their birth mother so that they will both have forever memories. This project recognises the mother's role prior to separation and will be a small gesture towards acknowledging their disenfranchised grief.

    The world needs humility, kindness & love: Rich Good

    Rich Good has spent over 40 years exploring the human condition, drawing on both Eastern and Western spiritual traditions. At the heart of his episode is a black and white photograph of Rich as a young boy, beaming outside a wigwam in his grandmother’s garden in Aberdeen. A child full of love and ready for adventure. He takes us through the journey of that boy’s life, the challenges he faced, the people who supported and shaped him, and how it became an apprenticeship in the human condition. Shared with honesty and care, in the hope that whoever needs to hear it might feel less alone, and see the possibility held within life’s challenges. Rich also reflects on a wide-ranging career rooted in a profound love of nature, and inspired by Earth Wisdom Teachings. From time with First Nations teachers to his work at the Eden Project, designing and delivering leadership programmes for HotHouse. At the heart of it all is a belief that many of us are seeking a different way of being with each other, one rooted in humility, kindness and love, now central to his work with the charity Humility, Kindness and Love (HKL) Having worked holistically with individuals and organisations for nearly 40 years and as  co-founder of the Imaginal Collective and One Good Life , Rich invites people to create a life where there is PEACE in the Mind, HOPE in the Heart and JOY in the Soul.

  5. Get Curious, Not Furious: Daryl Davis

    Get Curious, Not Furious: Daryl Davis

    Daryl Davis is an American musician, lecturer, activist and author whose life’s work has been shaped by a simple question: why would you hate me when you don’t even know me? He has spent decades studying, seeking out and speaking with members of hate groups, including the Ku Klux Klan. Through Daryl’s calm, human conversations, many have chosen to leave these organisations and encourage others to do the same. Daryl believes we learn to hate, and that what is learned can be unlearned. At the heart of this is our ability to listen and to speak with each other. He shares five things he believes we all crave in life, and that when we recognise these needs in each other, it becomes easier to connect and value one another: to be loved, respected and heard, to be treated truthfully and fairly, and to want for our families what others want for theirs. Daryl shares more of his experiences and insights in his book The Klan Whisperer.  Subscribe for more stories and practical tools from Reboot the Future. www.rebootthefuture.org

    Trusting what you know is right

    Jennifer Nadel shares what it means to trust what you know is right, even when others dismiss it as naive. From protesting as a young girl in the countryside to drafting a law to make it an offence for politicians to deliberately deceive the public, she reflects on how taking action, even when it does not succeed, moves us out of despair and into something more hopeful and generative. Years on, that once dismissed idea is now being taken forward in Wales and considered in Westminster. A conversation about truth, persistence and the quiet courage it takes to keep going. Jennifer Nadel is co-director of Compassion in Politics, a UK cross-party think tank bringing politicians together across divides. She is also Director of  Compassionate Politics at Stanford University’s Centre for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education.

    Honest by Nature : Rai Lewis

    Rachel (Rai) Lewis is the director and co-founder of Plant One, a Cornish woodland creation CIC restoring habitats and connecting communities with nature across the South West. Rai is also autistic, and in this conversation she speaks candidly about what it’s like to move through a world that often perceives her as naïve. She shares some of the traits many autistic people experience - struggling to detect lies quickly, finding it difficult to lie convincingly, and navigating social contexts that neurotypical people often take for granted. For Rai, this has often meant being judged as lacking “street smarts” -  including when she decided to launch Plant One with her business partner without startup funding. But what others might see as naïve, she understands as something else entirely: honesty, passion, and a deep commitment to what matters. That passion is woodland creation. Today, Rai and the Plant One community are planting trees across Cornwall, restoring habitats and bringing wildlife back to the landscape. This episode is a conversation about honesty, perception, and the power of caring deeply enough to act. Disclaimer: the views and opinions expressed in this podcast are the experiences and opinions of one autistic individual and do not necessarily reflect the wide array of difficulties and experiences of all autistic individuals.  Subscribe for more stories and practical tools from Reboot the Future. www.rebootthefuture.org
