    Galahad Clark

    Galahad Clark is a cobbler by birth and trade who is on a mission to change the way we connect with the earth through a shoe inspired by the sand bushmen of the Kalahari Desert. In this episode of Hope Springs, the co-founder of Vivo Barefoot talks about what he learned from indigenous people, about his Quaker roots grounded in the Clark shoes legacy and about a little film called Shoespiracy with a big message: like Big Agriculture and Big Pharma, Big Shoe with its big, padded soles is quite literally disconnecting us from the natural world. We learn that had it not been for his mother’s sudden illness and death when Galahad was just twenty, he might never have found his way into making a shoe honouring our connection with the land.

    Roger Tempest & Paris Ackrill

    Roger Tempest and Paris Ackrill, who are shortly to be married, have spent eleven years creating a truly transformative retreat centre at Broughton Sanctuary. Previously Broughton Hall, the stately with no less than 56 chimneys was home to the Roger’s recusant Catholic family for a thousand years. But now it's time for change, say the couple, who describe a rising of ‘an unarticulated movement’. Changing its name to Broughton Sanctuary, they have regenerated 3000 acres, created Avalon, a state-of the art wellbeing centre and “as without, so within” are now hosting formative visionaries including Dr Zach Bush, Bruce Damer and Lawrence Bloom, Chair of the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Council on Urban Management. On this episode of Hope Springs we discuss the need for a spiritual Davos and the reasons why Broughton Sanctuary is described as “the birthing place of a new humanity” by Andrew Harvey, founder of Sacred Activism.   This podcast is brought to you by The Resurgence Trust.

Seeking solace in fishing, Jim became aware of the plight of our rivers. Now he actively campaigns for clean water, founding Activist Anglers, hosting a podcast and championing the salmon.

    Merlin and Robin Hanbury-Tenison

    Robin and his son Merlin Hanbury Tenison have dedicated their lives to rainforests and the people living amongst them, whether in South America and Borneo or on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall where they live. Author Robin Hanbury Tennyson OBE is ‘an explorer with a conscience’ who has lead over 30 scientific expeditions and founded Survival International, campaigning for the rights of indigenous people and tropical rainforests. But it was in Cornwall after a severe covid attack forced him into an induced coma for five months that he discovered the true healing power of trees. It was only when Merlin returned home with his wife Lizzie, to heal his PTSD after serving three tours in Afghanistan and an uncomfortable stint in the London corporate world, that they discovered in a full circle of serendipity, that they were living in a rainforest- albeit an Atlantic temperate one. The story of how and why Merlin created the Thousand Year Trust to protect these ancient forests is beautifully told in Our Oaken Bones, published on March 20th 2025.

    Ruby Wax

    Ruby Wax is better known as a comedian and broadcaster with a reputation for interviewing celebrities and deviant politicians but her life changed in 2008 when she found herself in a psychiatric hospital. Today she's a mental health campaigner with a master's in “Mindfulness based cognitive therapy” from Oxford University, an OBE for her work campaigning for mental health awareness and an online sharing circle; called Frazzled café for people who are “stressed about being stressed”.   Whether its worrying news about the climate, super-charged social media messages or managing our mental health crisis Ruby advocates meditation practice as a tool for navigating 21st century life and is on a mission to destigmatise one of the last taboo subjects. The author of five books with titles like I am not as well as I thought I was and How to be human both of which she turned into sell-out tours, the former with a monk and a neuroscientist, Ruby knows that by talking about her own experiences she opens the door for others to do the same, bringing the black dog out of the shadows.  But still, she says she isn’t a mental health campaigner.   This podcast is bought to you by The Resurgence Trust.

    Andy Cato

    Andy Cato is one half of the electric music duo Groove Armada, who in 2007 sold his music rights and ploughed the profits into a piece of land in the Pyrenees. His inspiration? A sobering article on the environmental consequences of food production, at the end of which it said. “If you don’t like it, don’t depend upon it.” Taking those words literally, he spent twelve lonely, challenging years experimenting with ways to grow food and regenerate the soil. In 2018, recognised by the French President for his services to farming, he returned to the UK to set up Wildfarmed, supporting other farmers by developing collectives to deliver farm to plate at scale. He has even taught Jeremy Clarkson a thing or two. For Cato there is no debate; its not wilding or farming. It’s a great big AND. This podcast is bought to you by The Resurgence Trust.

    Christiana Figueres

    Costa Rican diplomat Christiana Figueres is widely recognized as the driving force behind the 2015 Paris Agreement, where 196 countries pledged to keep climate warming levels below 2°C. What is less known is that during this pivotal moment, she was grappling with deep personal trauma, including the emotional toll of a marriage breakdown. In the midst of this struggle, she found solace and strength in the teachings of Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh, whose wisdom, she credits, helped her navigate the intense negotiations that led to the landmark climate accord. Figueres, a veteran of every COP, has dedicated her life to driving global change. She co-founded Global Optimism, champions young climate activists, and serves as co-host of the Earthshot Prize as well as the popular podcast Outrage and Optimism. In her book, The Future We Choose: A Stubborn Optimist's Guide to the Climate Crisis, she lays out two possible futures: one in which humanity achieves net-zero emissions by 2050, and another shaped by devastating inaction.
