The Christmas Monks

Seasons greetings listeners, and what a festive treat Tom and Sam have for you this episode. This week we welcome Lucy Siegle back to the studio, before listening to Brother Spirit and Brother Embrace, Zen Monks from Plum Village, as they impart wisdom on how we can reconnect with nature at this pivotal moment. They tell us stories of leading meditation circles with key negotiators at COP26 and how connecting our heads and hearts can help the climate movement. We also hear from this season's previous guests on what they want for the planet this Christmas and how we can help them achieve it.

To save the world we need to change the story. Nature and the climate are in crisis. To survive we must use our most powerful tool - communication. Telling these stories can be difficult and dangerous, but done right they can change the world. Join wildlife filmmaker and author, Tom Mustill (Greta Thunberg NatureNow), Lucy Siegle (The Guardian, The One Show) and singer, campaigner and writer Sam Lee (The Nightingale) as they venture to COP26 and talk to a range of fascinating people with one shared mission. Off the back of COP26, Tom and Sam talk to the people behind the policies, and those risking it all to fight for their rights. From policy negotiators , to indigenous community leaders to retired four star generals, we hear from a range of voices sharing their hard-earned insights on saving the planet. Informal, personal and passionate, these conversations will re-energise, inspire, and give you the tools to play your part.
