Active Hope: bringing resilience and reconnection to the world with Chris Johnstone and Madeleine Young

As our world hurtles towards tipping points, how can we be part of the solution? How can we find resilience, in ourselves, our lives and our communities? Above all, how can we bring Active Hope to the world?  Dr Chris Johnstone and Madeleine Young have set up an online training course based in Joanna Macy's work that reconnects and we talk about it in this week's podcast. With a background in medicine and psychology, Chris Johnstone's work over the last thirty years has focused on exploring what helps us face disturbing situations (whether in our own lives or the world) and respond in ways that nourish resilience and well-being. His books include Active Hope (co-authored with Joanna Macy and translated into more than eleven languages) and Seven Ways to Build Resilience. His online resilience courses have attracted students from more than sixty countries. He lives in the north of Scotland where he teaches online at CollegeOfWellbeing.com, ResilienceTraining.net and ActiveHope.TrainingMadeleine Young is a permaculturist, homeopath and XR activist.  She's a trained facilitator in The Work that Reconnects and has helped to co-create the Active Hope online training.
