Jo has worked closely for the past 16 years with the late great Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and his Buddhist monastic community in @plumvillageonline He is co-founder and co-presenter of the acclaimed podcast series ‘The Way Out Is In’ and is chair of the board of @ParallaxOrg , which publishes books on mindfulness in daily life.
Jo’s career as a journalist spanned almost three decades, during which he served as executive editor and member of the senior leadership teams at the Huffpost and Guardian
In this episode Jo and I discuss the link between inner work and outer change. He shares his personal journey of discovery and healing, his relationship with Zen, and how mindfulness can help facilitate transformations in ourselves and the wider world.
