The HKL Time Vol 1 # 11

Conferences hosted since the Movement launched in No- vember 2024. The Conferences have welcomed over 23,000 in-person attendees, nearly one million online viewers, and par- ticipants from 83 countries.

"People always ask what makes the HKL Conference so spe- cial," Singh said. "Something shifts when people come to- gether with the sincere intention of wishing well for humanity." He encouraged everyone to experience this for themselves at the next International HKL Conference in Toronto, Canada, on August 8th, 2026.

Dr. Anna Stewart Ibarra

Her Journey

Anna grew up in upstate New York, with her mother from Ec- uador and her father from the US. Growing up between cul- tures, she spent much of her life between North and Latin Amer- ica. From an early age, she was driven by a desire to serve those who had less and those whose voices had been silenced.

Anna earned a PhD in Ecol- ogy and worked as a scientist leading international research programs. Her commitment to service guided her into the in- ternational intergovernmental space, where she worked with governments to address envi- ronmental challenges through international climate negotiations.

After more than a decade in this work, Anna realized that exter- nal solutions alone could not create the deeper transformation needed to address humanity's challenges.

Finding Her Service

During this time, Anna de- scribes it as no coincidence that the HKL Movement found her in November 2024. Since then, she has served as a full-time volunteer, Board Member, and practitioner of HKL. She shared "it's not about being humble once in a while, being kind to someone, it is about becoming a consciousness of humility, con- sciousness of kindness, a con- sciousness of love".

Since joining the HKL Move- ment, Anna has witnessed a profound transformation in herself, her family, and those around her. Sharing these prac- tices in her meditation circle, she saw how they helped oth- ers experience greater peace in their lives. Anna says, "people tell me they remembered HKL during difficult moments at work, and it changed how they responded," she said. “Seeing the change in myself but also those around me, made me feel deeply and fully committed to the Movement and sharing it with the world."

He has seen how business cul- ture often prioritizes profit, competition, and scarcity over compassion and selflessness. "Humanity is operating from fear," he said. "Fear is driving much of the pain and damage we see."

Quinn shares that while many companies display words like kindness, caring, and trust, these values often lack meaning when employees do not feel safe. He encourages leaders to embody these principles.

There is Only

One Way to Live

Quinn first joined the 6th In- ternational HKL Conference in Telford, United Kingdom, on April 11th, 2026. Today, he said "this Movement is the engine we are behind; this is what we are the catalyst of!" He shared that the HKL Movement helps awaken these values within individuals before they spread into homes, schools, and work- places.

"I live and breathe these principles. I can't swear by it enough. I lived my life through selfish- ness, greed, and scarcity," he re- flected. "Today there's only one way for me to live, and that's through these spiritual princi- ples."

How This Movement Is Relevant Today

For Quinn, Founder of Human- ness, the movement's message is especially relevant in modern society. He shared "for the last seven years, I have been learn- ing how to live and the funda- mental principles of that are learning how to live by Humili- ty, Kindness, and Love."

A Movement Like No Other

For Janice Hall, she believes that one of the greatest strengths of this Movement is that it brings all spiritual practices to- gether. "The forms may be dif- ferent," she said, "but if a spiri- tual practice is true, the paths all lead to the same place."

She describes HKL as a rare movement that encourages collaboration. Hall said, "so many different spiritual paths are drawn to the HKL Move- ment, and I've never seen any other movement with this much cross-pollination," she said. Janice describes HKL as "exactly what this world needs right now."

Generosity and Grace

After sharing a recap video of the last six HKL Conferences, viewers of World Unity Week were brought to tears. For Elisa, the Conferences embody gener- osity in its purest form.

She recalls the Flag Ceremony from the 5th International HKL Conference in India, where flower petals were gently show- ered over the flags of partici- pating nations. "Those flowers symbolize grace that is falling from the sky and allowing this to manifest in the world," she said.

She notes that every Conference is offered free of charge and welcomes people from every background. "Everyone is wel- come, everyone is nurtured," Elisa said. "That generosity is at the heart of this Movement."
