The best we can do is find questions in the moment to open the world, access the resources we need, and look toward a productive future. The HSD global community shares a practice that helps us avoid getting stuck in obsolete answers and moves us always toward the next revealing question.

Ideas are important and consciousness is precious, but they are not enough. Real change in the real world requires action. HSD races beyond abstract understanding to influence the choiceful action of thoughtful and committed people. We are committed to searching for ideas that are useful and actions based on truth. In this workshop, Royce Holladay explores the HSD understanding of “true” and “useful.” You will reflect on your own principles and practices to see where you and your communities thrive in the Interdependent Pair of true and useful.
