You DESTROYED that ride. My quads are still sore!

“I hope that you are glad that you have each other…we like to pretend that we can live apart from one another, but that’s not the way life works.”

I didn’t expect such a beautifully touching and spiritual plenary. Wow.

“Sometimes when your back is against the wall, you can’t do it. But there are times you can find grace, and find reorientation together.” - Lucas Johnson #hapc2025

“We lose track of the fact that relationship is the point. We have this approach that if we just do this this and that, the problem will be solved. Our most intractable problems will not be solved that way. What we have to do is we have to reorient ourselves to each other.”- Lucas Johnson #hapc2025

On the attack of DEI- “We are diverse! How do we create a world in which everyone has dignity? We can let go of the words and just do the work.”
- Krista Tippett #hapc2025

“Uncertainty lands as stress and danger in our bodies…what you are called to do is live your way into the question: what is my calling in this moment? See what this question begs you to see and to turn away from.”
- Krista Tippett

Lucas Johnson just had us all take some deep mindful breaths together and acknowledge “We have been going through a lot. A LOT.”

I’ve caught myself holding my breath so many times in the past 24 hours.
Breathe in, breathe out.

Krista Tippett speaks of the work they do before a conversation to open the space for the conversation in “On Being.”

I have never seen a plenary speaker from whom I felt such love, respect and understanding. Well done, @aahpm.bsky.social @hpna-info.bsky.social #hapc2025

“All of us owe our lives to people who chose to be kind in moments of our aggression. I imagine we can all imagine moments in which we got much more grace than we deserved.”
