The Inner Work of an Activist | with Davin Hutchins of Greenpeace International | S5E2

Описание: What sustains an activist when defiance alone isn’t enough? We sit down with Davin Hutchins, senior campaigner at Greenpeace International, to explore what happens when a movement known for bold resistance also makes space for inner development.

Davin shares how hope, courage, and nature connection have shaped his own path - and why, especially in moments of political backlash or overwhelm, the movement must go beyond resistance to stay resilient and effective.

We explore:
Why recognising we are nature changes how we work for nature
How contemplation and community can be powerful alternatives to burnout and “go, go, go”
How inner work can sharpen strategy and fuel systemic change

Whether you’re an activist, a changemaker, or simply feeling the strain of today’s polycrisis, Davin’s reflections offer a timely reminder: sometimes the bravest act is to pause, notice, and ask better questions.
