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.

Regardless of whether it’s personal change or some sort of group or organizational transformation, the hardest thing about change is that we tend to slip back into old habits. Even after we think we’ve have successfully transitioned to new ways of acting, we often realize that we have gone backwards. We feel “trapped” in past behaviors we have tried to eliminate. It’s frustrating, and self-defeating to deal with this problem.
