Jamie Bristow is director of the Mindfulness Initiative, a policy institute that works with politicians around the world who practice mindfulness and helps them to make capacities of heart and mind serious considerations of public policy. The Mindfulness Initiative grew out of a mindfulness training program in the UK Parliament, which has seen over 140 politicians take an eight-week training course, and provides the secretariat to the Mindfulness All-Party Parliamentary Group. themindfulnessinitiative.org.uk
