1
00:00:02.290 --> 00:00:07.930
Sheva Carr: A very, very warm-hearted welcome to everyone here.

2
00:00:08.920 --> 00:00:16.730
Sheva Carr: On the phone, in Zoom… Sacred Joy.

3
00:00:17.510 --> 00:00:22.610
Sheva Carr: To share the remarkable adventures that our team had.

4
00:00:23.420 --> 00:00:26.520
Sheva Carr: Last week. I'm just curious.

5
00:00:27.070 --> 00:00:31.739
Sheva Carr: If anyone on the phone or in Zoom…

6
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.410
Sheva Carr: Knows the meaning of the word.

7
00:00:36.220 --> 00:00:37.660
Sheva Carr: Ambassador.

8
00:00:40.810 --> 00:00:44.499
Sheva Carr: What does it mean to you, the word ambassador?

9
00:00:51.420 --> 00:00:58.670
Jamie Linn Stuart: I always think of it as the person who kind of carries the… Orchard carries the light of…

10
00:00:58.950 --> 00:01:02.569
Jamie Linn Stuart: Whatever their ambassadorship is of.

11
00:01:03.360 --> 00:01:04.160
Sheva Carr: Yeah.

12
00:01:05.069 --> 00:01:06.920
Sheva Carr: Thank you, Jamie Lynn.

13
00:01:07.250 --> 00:01:13.610
Sheva Carr: I think that's definitely getting close to what our heart ambassador definition is.

14
00:01:14.350 --> 00:01:19.210
Sheva Carr: I'm gonna read to you… The Oxford Dictionary.

15
00:01:19.530 --> 00:01:22.330
Sheva Carr: version of Ambassador.

16
00:01:22.700 --> 00:01:24.719
jeannemarie: I think of it as, like, a bridge.

17
00:01:25.350 --> 00:01:26.200
jeannemarie: Thank you.

18
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:27.170
Sheva Carr: Marie.

19
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:34.259
Sheva Carr: Yes, a bridge. So, the Oxford definition is an accredited diplomat

20
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:40.939
Sheva Carr: Sent by a country as its official representative to a foreign country.

21
00:01:42.450 --> 00:01:51.820
Sheva Carr: To officially represent and promote the interests of one country can also be used as an organization or brand interest.

22
00:01:52.880 --> 00:01:59.419
Sheva Carr: A high-ranking official serving as their government's chief representative to another sovereign state.

23
00:02:01.880 --> 00:02:07.300
Sheva Carr: So, heart Ambassadors.

24
00:02:11.740 --> 00:02:17.340
Sheva Carr: Are representing the interests of… The collective heart.

25
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:23.079
Sheva Carr: So nowhere that we go is foreign.

26
00:02:25.220 --> 00:02:29.099
Sheva Carr: Because everywhere we go, People have hearts.

27
00:02:31.510 --> 00:02:35.340
Sheva Carr: It was a pipe dream of mine.

28
00:02:36.950 --> 00:02:40.559
Sheva Carr: That we might build a community.

29
00:02:41.730 --> 00:02:47.650
Sheva Carr: that could… Represent not the interest of a geolocation.

30
00:02:48.370 --> 00:02:50.400
Sheva Carr: Or an ideology.

31
00:02:51.830 --> 00:02:58.259
Sheva Carr: But the… Interests of all life at the heart of all being.

32
00:02:59.380 --> 00:03:08.100
Sheva Carr: As ambassadors of the state of heart, as opposed to A geographic state.

33
00:03:08.890 --> 00:03:10.590
Sheva Carr: at the United Nations.

34
00:03:12.920 --> 00:03:23.270
Sheva Carr: Five years ago, that… Multi-decade-long dream was realized when, after a lot of work, And…

35
00:03:23.810 --> 00:03:29.869
Sheva Carr: love and passion, we received our ECOSOC consultative status to the United Nations.

36
00:03:32.260 --> 00:03:37.529
Sheva Carr: And… Last week was our first delegation.

37
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.959
Sheva Carr: to the opening of the General Assembly.

38
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:43.480
Sheva Carr: Which happens annually.

39
00:03:45.070 --> 00:03:49.609
Sheva Carr: And so, part of that ambassadorship

40
00:03:50.450 --> 00:03:55.389
Sheva Carr: is bringing, as Jean Marie used the word bridge.

41
00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:06.739
Sheva Carr: Bridging the experiences that our delegation had, representing the state of heart, At the UN.

42
00:04:07.660 --> 00:04:11.120
Sheva Carr: Back to our collective community.

43
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.789
Sheva Carr: Which is our great privilege.

44
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:22.640
Sheva Carr: And so… Let me ask you, what does the word heart mean to you?

45
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.690
Sheva Carr: Anybody. What does that mean?

46
00:04:31.690 --> 00:04:36.870
jeannemarie: Well, I think it's the central communication hub of the Earth to us.

47
00:04:37.130 --> 00:04:41.350
jeannemarie: And, it's an electromagnetic system that

48
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:43.500
jeannemarie: Has a lot of power.

49
00:04:46.380 --> 00:04:50.150
jeannemarie: Thank you, Jean-Re. Aside from the body organ, of course.

50
00:04:50.970 --> 00:04:53.530
Sheva Carr: Anyone else want to share?

51
00:04:54.610 --> 00:04:58.659
Sheva Carr: What the word heart means to you, if we're ambassadors of heart.

52
00:04:59.110 --> 00:05:01.160
Sheva Carr: What are we advocating for?

53
00:05:03.650 --> 00:05:05.040
Sheva Carr: Yeah, Mary Beth.

54
00:05:07.860 --> 00:05:13.049
Mary Beth Wollenschlaeger: I just forgot what I was gonna say, but… oh, I know! The… it's…

55
00:05:13.580 --> 00:05:16.580
Mary Beth Wollenschlaeger: Who we are at our… at our essence.

56
00:05:19.010 --> 00:05:22.029
Mary Beth Wollenschlaeger: But that didn't answer your question. What was your question again?

57
00:05:22.730 --> 00:05:27.599
Sheva Carr: That worked for me. They're ambassadors of heart.

58
00:05:28.580 --> 00:05:30.000
Sheva Carr: What is it?

59
00:05:30.100 --> 00:05:32.350
Sheva Carr: We're advocating for.

60
00:05:33.540 --> 00:05:35.700
Sheva Carr: That's what an ambassador does.

61
00:05:36.130 --> 00:05:36.950
Mary Beth Wollenschlaeger: Love.

62
00:05:39.030 --> 00:05:40.780
Sheva Carr: I would say yes to that.

63
00:05:42.590 --> 00:05:43.620
Sheva Carr: We'll.

64
00:05:45.700 --> 00:05:52.200
Lola Moonfrog: Hi, I would add compassion and caring for everybody.

65
00:05:52.810 --> 00:05:53.880
Sheva Carr: Absolutely.

66
00:05:55.200 --> 00:06:02.790
Lola Moonfrog: No exceptions, and I'm sorry about my monitor. I have two monitors, and it has its own mind sometimes, which is gonna put mine in.

67
00:06:02.790 --> 00:06:05.829
Sheva Carr: It's not… you transcend it, and you are that light, right?

68
00:06:05.830 --> 00:06:11.939
Lola Moonfrog: There you go. I'll add some hearts so you know I'm still in my body.

69
00:06:14.810 --> 00:06:19.609
jeannemarie: Guess what? I had no idea what you were talking about. See?

70
00:06:19.770 --> 00:06:23.570
Lola Moonfrog: Oh, good, good move. Good move, Jean Marie, I love you.

71
00:06:25.390 --> 00:06:35.410
Sheva Carr: So… You don't have to be physically at the United Nations or in any geolocations.

72
00:06:36.270 --> 00:06:38.320
Sheva Carr: To be an ambassador of heart.

73
00:06:40.370 --> 00:06:44.870
Sheva Carr: Because, as Jane Marie shared, the heart as fields.

74
00:06:46.760 --> 00:06:48.529
Sheva Carr: And it broadcasts.

75
00:06:50.350 --> 00:06:56.020
Sheva Carr: And so we'll begin… Or… Gathering together.

76
00:06:57.270 --> 00:06:59.420
Sheva Carr: as heart ambassadors.

77
00:06:59.980 --> 00:07:02.200
Sheva Carr: Broadcasting that love.

78
00:07:03.060 --> 00:07:04.680
Sheva Carr: That compassion.

79
00:07:05.690 --> 00:07:08.940
Sheva Carr: And that care for all being.

80
00:07:10.380 --> 00:07:15.699
Sheva Carr: For 5 minutes together, as we focus attention in the area around the chest.

81
00:07:17.860 --> 00:07:24.020
Sheva Carr: Imagining the breath is flowing in through the heart and out through the heart.

82
00:07:26.750 --> 00:07:30.959
Sheva Carr: Breathing a little slower, a little deeper than usual.

83
00:07:33.110 --> 00:07:37.739
Sheva Carr: If you find it helpful, you can count as you breathe in.

84
00:07:38.740 --> 00:07:41.079
Sheva Carr: And count as you breathe out.

85
00:07:43.500 --> 00:07:51.010
Sheva Carr: On whatever rhythm works for your body, but the key… To this coherent, caring broadcast.

86
00:07:52.320 --> 00:07:58.090
Sheva Carr: Is to invite the inhale and the exhale to be even in length.

87
00:08:02.530 --> 00:08:08.850
Sheva Carr: And with that heart-focused breathing to activate your care, your compassion, your love.

88
00:08:11.750 --> 00:08:16.100
Sheva Carr: And radiate it to all hearts in the world.

89
00:08:19.310 --> 00:08:23.589
Sheva Carr: And we'll rest in that care focus together.

90
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.389
Sheva Carr: There are 5 or so many.

91
00:15:07.860 --> 00:15:12.550
Sheva Carr: The completion of a heart lock-in, we know, is a…

92
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:18.720
Sheva Carr: Powerful time to listen in to your heart's intuitive guidance.

93
00:15:22.780 --> 00:15:29.400
Sheva Carr: One of the things that wasn't shared… As we opened, is that…

94
00:15:29.890 --> 00:15:33.379
Sheva Carr: Heart is also a different kind of intelligence.

95
00:15:35.790 --> 00:15:39.850
Sheva Carr: We can do heart transplants, but not brain transplants.

96
00:15:41.470 --> 00:15:48.830
Sheva Carr: When you think with your heart, when you put your heart into it, when you listen to your heart and follow your heart.

97
00:15:51.020 --> 00:15:57.330
Sheva Carr: You take actions that… Are harmonious with your interconnectivity to all that is.

98
00:15:59.670 --> 00:16:05.560
Sheva Carr: And it is also that unique brand of intelligence that we are ambassadors of.

99
00:16:08.690 --> 00:16:14.560
Sheva Carr: So this is a moment to listen in to your own… Hard intelligence.

100
00:16:19.930 --> 00:16:23.080
Sheva Carr: Or anything it wants you to know right now.

101
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:36.420
Sheva Carr: And I will say this, that…

102
00:16:39.010 --> 00:16:42.280
Sheva Carr: For those of you that are completing your…

103
00:16:42.990 --> 00:16:48.540
Sheva Carr: Science-Based Hope for Happiness course this Wednesday with our final Q&A.

104
00:16:50.870 --> 00:16:54.230
Sheva Carr: We did our last key last Wednesday.

105
00:16:57.220 --> 00:16:59.649
Sheva Carr: Which was from me to we.

106
00:16:59.910 --> 00:17:08.209
Sheva Carr: How can… What happens in my life be a pathway of service and connection to the larger wholeness?

107
00:17:10.190 --> 00:17:19.120
Sheva Carr: How could I ever have imagined, as a 7-year-old, Taken to a psychiatrist for… Anxiety and depression.

108
00:17:20.380 --> 00:17:24.120
Sheva Carr: That one day that experience would give me the expertise.

109
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:31.229
Sheva Carr: To be in a room full of heads of state and foreign ministers and ministers of health.

110
00:17:32.080 --> 00:17:38.029
Sheva Carr: To talk about world anxiety, and world depression, and… How we heal that.

111
00:17:40.770 --> 00:17:44.140
Sheva Carr: That's the adventure that awaits you.

112
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:48.440
Sheva Carr: It won't look like mine, it will look like… Yours.

113
00:17:51.030 --> 00:17:54.200
Sheva Carr: But today, we're here to share with you.

114
00:17:54.510 --> 00:17:57.329
Sheva Carr: Hours, because you're an important part of it.

115
00:17:57.770 --> 00:17:59.839
Sheva Carr: Me, Robert, and Sandra.

116
00:18:01.300 --> 00:18:07.650
Sheva Carr: Feel free to put questions in the chat as we go, or raise your hand. It was such a rich…

117
00:18:08.100 --> 00:18:10.280
Sheva Carr: Full week, I know.

118
00:18:11.580 --> 00:18:17.010
Sheva Carr: There's more, probably, than what we could share in just one session.

119
00:18:18.100 --> 00:18:25.410
Sheva Carr: But you'll get the… I think it was Mary Beth said, the essence, the essential oil.

120
00:18:26.320 --> 00:18:28.650
Sheva Carr: Tincture. Elixir.

121
00:18:30.930 --> 00:18:33.280
Sheva Carr: I want to honor that.

122
00:18:33.700 --> 00:18:40.759
Sheva Carr: When I was a teenager living in Nicaragua, and I was on the streets with the children orphaned by their civil war.

123
00:18:42.540 --> 00:18:46.040
Sheva Carr: I went into the bathroom in the Intercontinental Hotel.

124
00:18:46.430 --> 00:18:48.809
Sheva Carr: And saw the whole line of press.

125
00:18:50.040 --> 00:18:51.440
Sheva Carr: lined up.

126
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:54.190
Sheva Carr: At what used to be, like,

127
00:18:55.360 --> 00:18:59.230
Sheva Carr: I don't remember what they were called, like, ticker tape machines, where the…

128
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:03.809
Sheva Carr: They communicate, this is before the days of even fax machines.

129
00:19:05.500 --> 00:19:12.090
Sheva Carr: The way that was supposed to work is they were supposed to be out on the streets gathering the news and sending the information back.

130
00:19:13.020 --> 00:19:20.189
Sheva Carr: to the Associated Press, and the New York Times, and… The media of the day.

131
00:19:21.570 --> 00:19:27.310
Sheva Carr: But what I saw when I went in to go to the bathroom was the opposite. Teletype. Thank you, Michael.

132
00:19:27.790 --> 00:19:29.510
Sheva Carr: Ticker tape is a parade.

133
00:19:33.450 --> 00:19:38.659
Sheva Carr: It was working the opposite way.

134
00:19:39.010 --> 00:19:43.590
Sheva Carr: The news agencies were feeding them the information to write down.

135
00:19:45.940 --> 00:19:50.950
Sheva Carr: They weren't out in the streets with me and the kids at all, they were sitting at the bar drinking.

136
00:19:51.620 --> 00:19:56.110
Sheva Carr: And writing their articles based on what the State Department was telling them to say.

137
00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:00.670
Sheva Carr: Which turned out to be the opposite of what I was seeing on the street.

138
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:06.860
Sheva Carr: Why am I sharing this with all of you now? Well…

139
00:20:07.410 --> 00:20:14.689
Sheva Carr: For one thing, it seeded my deep desire to operate at What are called high-level meetings.

140
00:20:16.760 --> 00:20:20.540
Sheva Carr: High-level meetings mean that heads of state and

141
00:20:20.780 --> 00:20:23.869
Sheva Carr: Ministers of different departments are present.

142
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.710
Sheva Carr: To have influence to bring more truth, which is another facet of heart.

143
00:20:31.260 --> 00:20:34.100
Sheva Carr: To our global politics and media.

144
00:20:34.870 --> 00:20:38.589
Sheva Carr: But also to say that,

145
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:44.079
Sheva Carr: Probably many of you saw the happenings at the UN General Assembly.

146
00:20:44.450 --> 00:20:45.750
Sheva Carr: on the news.

147
00:20:46.830 --> 00:20:49.700
Sheva Carr: What the news was willing to share with you.

148
00:20:51.080 --> 00:20:55.660
Sheva Carr: which I heard was a lot about President Trump's speech.

149
00:20:58.450 --> 00:21:03.209
Sheva Carr: But I want you to hear that isn't really…

150
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:07.849
Sheva Carr: A whole picture at all of what was happening in that building.

151
00:21:10.060 --> 00:21:13.390
Sheva Carr: There were up to 180 heads of state there.

152
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:22.800
Sheva Carr: Many of whose speeches left Robert and I in tears of humble awe and hope and delight and…

153
00:21:23.080 --> 00:21:25.890
Sheva Carr: Eager gratitude and excitement.

154
00:21:30.500 --> 00:21:31.990
Sheva Carr: Not at all.

155
00:21:32.780 --> 00:21:40.030
Sheva Carr: The forum for a single human being, but a synergy Of so many hearts.

156
00:21:40.280 --> 00:21:45.059
Sheva Carr: with genuine desire to make a difference in the world. So this is the UN.

157
00:21:45.840 --> 00:21:49.659
Sheva Carr: And I would say genuine effectiveness in many cases.

158
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:53.950
Sheva Carr: This is the UN we're bringing you.

159
00:21:54.950 --> 00:22:00.190
Sheva Carr: We're going to go… In a kind of order.

160
00:22:02.210 --> 00:22:05.679
Sheva Carr: Part order, not linear logical order, but…

161
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:11.359
Sheva Carr: The first thing I want to share with you is actually the first thing that Robert and I saw.

162
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:14.110
Sheva Carr: And the last thing we saw…

163
00:22:14.860 --> 00:22:16.399
Sheva Carr: While we were in New York.

164
00:22:18.910 --> 00:22:26.380
Sheva Carr: How was that? Well… Let me say this.

165
00:22:27.320 --> 00:22:28.959
Sheva Carr: And I'm looking for it.

166
00:22:29.700 --> 00:22:31.149
Sheva Carr: There it is, okay.

167
00:22:31.950 --> 00:22:33.229
jeannemarie: What did you say?

168
00:22:34.500 --> 00:22:37.690
Sheva Carr: I'm gonna describe some of it, Jean Marie.

169
00:22:40.330 --> 00:22:45.600
Sheva Carr: So… and maybe… I'm curious if we might have a volunteer.

170
00:22:46.500 --> 00:22:49.939
Sheva Carr: In the group who's willing to,

171
00:22:50.350 --> 00:22:56.960
Sheva Carr: meet with Jean Marie later and describe some of the images that don't have sound attached.

172
00:22:57.730 --> 00:23:02.500
Sheva Carr: Since she sees with her heart, not her eyes. Thank you so much, Marilyn.

173
00:23:03.590 --> 00:23:05.149
Sheva Carr: I appreciate you.

174
00:23:07.860 --> 00:23:12.610
Sheva Carr: The first…

175
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:20.910
Sheva Carr: first learning experience for us was getting to the UN, and all that it takes of our heart practices to do it.

176
00:23:21.220 --> 00:23:27.070
Sheva Carr: So, the UN is…

177
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:35.610
Sheva Carr: It's just… I cannot set foot on the grounds without tearing up. I can't explain it, the energy there.

178
00:23:36.300 --> 00:23:41.140
Sheva Carr: Of the oneness, the unity, the interconnection, the people from all walks of life.

179
00:23:41.370 --> 00:23:45.980
Sheva Carr: Every time, but I had never been there during the opening of the General Assembly.

180
00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:49.539
Sheva Carr: And it was a whole new experience.

181
00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:52.260
Sheva Carr: Even… more.

182
00:23:53.730 --> 00:23:54.820
Sheva Carr: Awesome.

183
00:23:56.600 --> 00:24:03.559
Sheva Carr: So, because you have up to 180 heads of state in this building.

184
00:24:04.780 --> 00:24:07.289
Sheva Carr: The security in New York City.

185
00:24:07.510 --> 00:24:13.490
Sheva Carr: for the United Nations Week is something to behold, and something we didn't know about.

186
00:24:14.970 --> 00:24:16.709
Sheva Carr: And part of that is.

187
00:24:16.890 --> 00:24:26.050
Sheva Carr: Normally they don't allow civil society, which is what our organization is considered as an NGO, a non-governmental organization, consulting to the UN.

188
00:24:26.380 --> 00:24:28.820
Sheva Carr: We're part of civil society.

189
00:24:29.650 --> 00:24:34.850
Sheva Carr: And so, they don't allow civil society there during,

190
00:24:36.510 --> 00:24:39.460
Sheva Carr: UN Week, is what they call it in New York.

191
00:24:39.620 --> 00:24:45.139
Sheva Carr: Unless you have expertise particular to a theme being addressed at the high-level meetings.

192
00:24:45.890 --> 00:24:51.439
Sheva Carr: And in this case, we had multiple areas of expertise at these meetings.

193
00:24:51.620 --> 00:24:56.850
Sheva Carr: One was our work on elevating the status of women in the world.

194
00:24:57.320 --> 00:25:01.930
Sheva Carr: And so the first day, the opening session, was all about…

195
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:12.710
Sheva Carr: A celebration of progress made and gap analysis of the progress for the status of women and girl children worldwide.

196
00:25:14.630 --> 00:25:21.710
Sheva Carr: And Robert and I were accepted into that all-day session. We didn't realize, when we got our acceptance.

197
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:26.250
Sheva Carr: It's even gonna make me cry now, because I was so moved by this.

198
00:25:26.890 --> 00:25:29.699
Sheva Carr: That it gave us entry into…

199
00:25:30.080 --> 00:25:37.810
Sheva Carr: the opening of the 80th session of the General Assembly, and the celebration of 80 years at the UN.

200
00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:48.769
Sheva Carr: Part of the security around the building is that in Manhattan, they close the streets.

201
00:25:49.230 --> 00:25:53.550
Sheva Carr: What would you say, Robert, 3 blocks away from the UN on all sides?

202
00:25:53.910 --> 00:25:58.180
Sheva Carr: Which basically shuts down the island of Manhattan for the week.

203
00:25:58.860 --> 00:26:09.409
Sheva Carr: We were in other meetings across town with the rabbis that we had… some of you were part of our certification for a group of Kabbalistic rabbis.

204
00:26:09.810 --> 00:26:13.039
Sheva Carr: They were also happened to be in New York that week.

205
00:26:13.210 --> 00:26:18.650
Sheva Carr: hosting Rosh Hashanah high holidays, and so we met them in person.

206
00:26:19.140 --> 00:26:25.569
Sheva Carr: And, got to meet a lot of their students who are learning HeartMath from them, which was amazing.

207
00:26:26.120 --> 00:26:40.110
Sheva Carr: But we learned from them that a normal 40-minute drive was taking some of them 6 hours just to get onto the island of Manhattan. So that gives you a picture of how the whole city is…

208
00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:48.280
Sheva Carr: orchestrating itself around this event. And you have every head of state, every high-level minister.

209
00:26:48.460 --> 00:26:56.639
Sheva Carr: ambassadors coming in and out of the UN grounds in these massive motorcades with 4 or 5 decoy cars.

210
00:26:56.690 --> 00:27:10.430
Sheva Carr: Accompanied by police with sirens. So 24-7, even we were staying across town near the rabbis, you hear motorcades and sirens going back and forth across the city all day and all night long.

211
00:27:11.800 --> 00:27:22.779
Sheva Carr: And so, part of the security is, they don't… they send NGOs that were accepted into the high-level meetings acceptance letters.

212
00:27:23.130 --> 00:27:28.450
Sheva Carr: But it's a little bit… like, James Bond-ish.

213
00:27:29.290 --> 00:27:34.070
Sheva Carr: And that they write you sort of an encrypted note saying.

214
00:27:34.300 --> 00:27:36.439
Sheva Carr: Meet us at this street corner.

215
00:27:37.060 --> 00:27:40.000
Sheva Carr: At this time of day, on this date.

216
00:27:40.150 --> 00:27:42.349
Sheva Carr: To pick up your little pass.

217
00:27:43.250 --> 00:27:53.659
Sheva Carr: And normally there's a pass office across the street from the United Nations where you pick up your clearance and your passes. You can't even get to the pass office without a pass.

218
00:27:55.090 --> 00:27:58.670
Sheva Carr: Because you have to go through so many checkpoints on the streets.

219
00:27:58.910 --> 00:28:16.059
Sheva Carr: So the only cars that can pass through are motorcades. I don't know how this works for people who are in wheelchairs. I didn't see anyone in a wheelchair. Asandra would have been the only person on crutches if she'd brought hers that I would have seen. You have to be able-bodied, which is…

220
00:28:16.170 --> 00:28:21.569
Sheva Carr: A fascinating thing to attend this event, because you have to walk in if you're not a head of state.

221
00:28:23.220 --> 00:28:28.969
Sheva Carr: And at each block, and so you can't get to those blocks unless you have a path.

222
00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:46.260
Sheva Carr: And each block, there was, and then probably about, I would say, 10 blocks away from the UN, at every block, there were, counter-terrorist police, New York City police, secret service agents, FBI.

223
00:28:46.470 --> 00:28:53.849
Sheva Carr: just surrounding everything, and we'll have some fun stories to share about our interactions with them. They were absolutely delightful.

224
00:28:56.080 --> 00:29:09.250
Sheva Carr: And everywhere we went, we actually, for those who know the Little Heart Project, which is crocheted hearts with the suicide hotline on them, and messages thanking people for being here and encouraging their lives.

225
00:29:09.570 --> 00:29:15.060
Sheva Carr: We were handing those out with the Bus 7 Myths About Your Mood course access cards.

226
00:29:15.340 --> 00:29:27.650
Sheva Carr: to the FBI, and the security guards, and the counterterrorism police. So you have these, like, big officers with submachine guns and, SWAT vests.

227
00:29:28.230 --> 00:29:32.420
Sheva Carr: Carrying their little… like, all excited about their little crocheted hearts.

228
00:29:32.700 --> 00:29:35.979
Sheva Carr: We'll share some photos with you, it was pretty awesome.

229
00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:44.869
Sheva Carr: So we… we didn't know until a couple of days before we… Robert and I went to the UN, so we got a flight.

230
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:47.469
Sheva Carr: That arrived at 10 o'clock at night.

231
00:29:49.100 --> 00:29:57.180
Sheva Carr: we didn't know that we were gonna get a Harry Potter message saying, meet us on the street corner at 7.30 in the morning to get your pass.

232
00:29:58.090 --> 00:30:04.739
Sheva Carr: So that meant we got to our hotel room and got to sleep at 1.30 in the morning, and we were like, oh, there's no way.

233
00:30:05.310 --> 00:30:07.530
Sheva Carr: Maybe we'll just let this day go.

234
00:30:08.030 --> 00:30:15.040
Sheva Carr: And we went to our hearts, we radiated love to spirit, we said, Spirit, because it was… we'd have to get up at 2 AM our time.

235
00:30:15.990 --> 00:30:19.279
Sheva Carr: In order to make it to the UN in time to get our path.

236
00:30:20.250 --> 00:30:26.750
Sheva Carr: So we just said, alright, Spirit, if you want us there, wake us up. And at 5 AM New York time, we both opened our eyes.

237
00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:31.210
Sheva Carr: And we were like, alright, we're going to the UN.

238
00:30:31.730 --> 00:30:40.480
Sheva Carr: And it was as if by magic, like, we were just carried on a magic carpet. I ended up walking 7 miles that day, because it's shorter.

239
00:30:40.780 --> 00:30:44.280
Sheva Carr: to walk across the island of Manhattan.

240
00:30:45.270 --> 00:30:49.199
Sheva Carr: to get to the UN than it is to take an Uber, though we did…

241
00:30:49.360 --> 00:30:52.120
Sheva Carr: do some movers, but they would take a couple hours.

242
00:30:53.060 --> 00:30:55.390
Sheva Carr: So we just walked everywhere.

243
00:30:55.650 --> 00:30:58.460
Sheva Carr: And went through all the security checkpoints.

244
00:30:59.380 --> 00:31:02.190
Sheva Carr: and… found ourselves…

245
00:31:03.750 --> 00:31:10.839
Sheva Carr: In the General Assembly. Now, with all that security around the building, here's a piece of the magic that happens during UN week.

246
00:31:12.380 --> 00:31:15.610
Sheva Carr: And Robert's gonna share more with you about this.

247
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:30.600
Sheva Carr: inside the building, because there's so much security around it. Even down the East River, there were police boats patrolling up and down the river on the backside of the UN.

248
00:31:32.450 --> 00:31:41.630
Sheva Carr: Once you make it through security, and it's just like airport security, once you make it through all the checkpoints, then you walk through metal detectors and all that kind of thing.

249
00:31:42.560 --> 00:31:47.140
Sheva Carr: But then… No one has their Secret Service around them.

250
00:31:48.330 --> 00:32:04.940
Sheva Carr: there's no, bodyguards. So you're, like, grabbing a water in the cafeteria next to the first Arab woman to win a Nobel Peace Prize on one side, and the first woman president of Denmark, like, bumps into you, oh, sorry, sorry.

251
00:32:06.130 --> 00:32:09.789
Sheva Carr: And you're just there with everyone.

252
00:32:10.420 --> 00:32:14.699
Sheva Carr: In the bathrooms, in the hallways, in the cafeteria, having…

253
00:32:15.360 --> 00:32:19.109
Sheva Carr: The most hopeful conversations for the world.

254
00:32:22.310 --> 00:32:26.860
Sheva Carr: As we entered… the General Assembly.

255
00:32:27.980 --> 00:32:30.860
Sheva Carr: I want to play the video.

256
00:32:31.170 --> 00:32:35.149
Sheva Carr: of… The choir that was singing.

257
00:32:35.630 --> 00:32:37.819
Sheva Carr: Just a little short clip.

258
00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:42.900
Sheva Carr: And you can look them up, I'll put a link to them in a moment in the chat.

259
00:32:50.620 --> 00:32:54.940
Sheva Carr: So, give me just a moment to share my screen.

260
00:32:58.600 --> 00:33:00.699
Sheva Carr: Well, here, we'll do it this way.

261
00:33:19.180 --> 00:33:27.080
Sheva Carr: Okay… So, here's us hanging out with the NYPD, giving them little pink hearts.

262
00:33:27.780 --> 00:33:31.999
Sheva Carr: I love their expressions. They were, like, so happy.

263
00:33:32.760 --> 00:33:37.589
Sheva Carr: And we just kept thanking them every step along the way for keeping us safe.

264
00:33:42.080 --> 00:33:47.899
Sheva Carr: This was the statue as we entered the UN grounds and brought the little hearts with us.

265
00:33:54.850 --> 00:34:01.309
Sheva Carr: Yeah, and Marilyn, I wanted to send this to you. There's the Fura Foundation hat that you made sure we got.

266
00:34:02.080 --> 00:34:04.170
Sheva Carr: Made it to the UN.

267
00:34:05.700 --> 00:34:07.890
Sheva Carr: All the way from Zimbabwe.

268
00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:20.250
Sheva Carr: As we entered the General Assembly, this is what was playing.

269
00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:56.559
Audio shared by Sheva Carr: Hey there.

270
00:34:58.740 --> 00:35:02.300
Sheva Carr: That is… the Hope Choir.

271
00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:15.000
Sheva Carr: which has performed at the United Nations, many times. I'm gonna put a link to them in the chat. But they bring pianos into refugee camps and…

272
00:35:15.140 --> 00:35:22.649
Sheva Carr: war zones and do just the most extraordinary work. It was started by two opera singers who wanted to use music.

273
00:35:23.140 --> 00:35:25.799
Sheva Carr: As a peace-building tool.

274
00:35:26.770 --> 00:35:33.889
Sheva Carr: And, I ended up meeting the kids that were in that choir. They're from inner-city New York.

275
00:35:34.620 --> 00:35:38.840
Sheva Carr: In the, and giving them hearts.

276
00:35:39.050 --> 00:35:40.929
Sheva Carr: From the Little Hurt Project.

277
00:35:41.490 --> 00:35:47.680
Sheva Carr: So, the next film that we saw…

278
00:35:48.310 --> 00:35:52.360
Sheva Carr: Which was really our first experience in the General Assembly.

279
00:35:52.980 --> 00:35:55.809
Sheva Carr: was also the last thing we saw in New York.

280
00:35:56.140 --> 00:36:02.360
Sheva Carr: Because at 11 o'clock at night, the night before Robert and I flew home, we were walking through Times Square.

281
00:36:03.430 --> 00:36:09.349
Sheva Carr: And it wasn't an advertisement for Nike, or a Taylor Swift.

282
00:36:10.040 --> 00:36:13.780
Sheva Carr: promotion on the billboard in Times Square.

283
00:36:15.160 --> 00:36:18.650
Sheva Carr: It was the celebration of the United Nations' 80 years.

284
00:36:20.240 --> 00:36:26.319
Sheva Carr: That was incredibly moving to see. This does not have audio. It did have audio.

285
00:36:26.620 --> 00:36:34.640
Sheva Carr: With it, inside the General Assembly, and I'm looking for the video to share with you, but…

286
00:36:35.930 --> 00:36:47.350
Sheva Carr: it was… it was so moving in the General Assembly, and then equally moving in Times Square to see all these people in the middle of the night looking up, celebrating the UN.

287
00:36:47.990 --> 00:36:53.089
Sheva Carr: So, here it comes.

288
00:37:05.430 --> 00:37:09.089
Sheva Carr: Thanks for your patience with our technology.

289
00:37:10.250 --> 00:37:11.869
Sheva Carr: Can everybody see that?

290
00:37:21.300 --> 00:37:22.130
Audio shared by Sheva Carr: Come on!

291
00:37:27.230 --> 00:37:30.500
Audio shared by Sheva Carr: Together, we are unafraid, broken,

292
00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:33.550
Sheva Carr: Meeting here.

293
00:37:37.340 --> 00:37:38.070
Audio shared by Sheva Carr: Huh?

294
00:37:39.850 --> 00:37:41.460
Audio shared by Sheva Carr: They're standing down.

295
00:37:43.520 --> 00:37:44.370
Audio shared by Sheva Carr: They do.

296
00:37:46.820 --> 00:37:48.689
Audio shared by Sheva Carr: 80 years building our fleet.

297
00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:51.170
Audio shared by Sheva Carr: better.

298
00:37:54.250 --> 00:37:55.140
Audio shared by Sheva Carr: Just be frustrating.

299
00:37:59.840 --> 00:38:04.799
Sheva Carr: So that was our last… our first moment in New York, and our last moment in New York.

300
00:38:04.910 --> 00:38:16.450
Sheva Carr: And so, the celebration of 80 years had taken the UN, United Nations, and turned it into unbroken, unstoppable understanding.

301
00:38:16.510 --> 00:38:26.670
Sheva Carr: all the values of the UN, and so, the branding all around the UN for this celebration celebrated everything you un…

302
00:38:28.920 --> 00:38:35.929
Sheva Carr: The current president of the General Assembly is a woman.

303
00:38:36.170 --> 00:38:39.040
Sheva Carr: who was recently elected from Germany.

304
00:38:39.600 --> 00:38:41.180
Sheva Carr: Her speech…

305
00:38:41.670 --> 00:38:54.749
Sheva Carr: after that video screened, and maybe Robert's gonna share her photo, and I found her speech on YouTube, was one of the most extraordinary speeches I've ever heard.

306
00:38:55.850 --> 00:39:01.829
Sheva Carr: I was crying the entire time. She acknowledged that the UN

307
00:39:02.330 --> 00:39:10.650
Sheva Carr: Has a bad reputation in the world, but her message was… No, we aren't finished.

308
00:39:11.340 --> 00:39:13.299
Sheva Carr: No, we're not perfect.

309
00:39:15.240 --> 00:39:19.309
Sheva Carr: But, we're still in it, and we're better together.

310
00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:22.900
Sheva Carr: And…

311
00:39:23.260 --> 00:39:28.559
Sheva Carr: So I'm gonna drop her speech in the chat, but at the moment, I'm gonna pass the baton.

312
00:39:28.890 --> 00:39:37.019
Sheva Carr: to Robert, who's gonna share the speeches that came after hers from heads of state, and what we learned

313
00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:44.799
Sheva Carr: We'll just be vulnerable here and say that we got an invitation, possibly, to speak to a high-level meeting with the WHO in India.

314
00:39:45.600 --> 00:39:49.419
Sheva Carr: In December, And they were giving us 6 minutes.

315
00:39:50.380 --> 00:39:55.269
Sheva Carr: And Robert and I were all grumpy, like, why are we gonna fly all the way to India? That's like…

316
00:39:55.440 --> 00:40:00.449
Sheva Carr: 3 days of being in an airplane to give a 6-minute talk, so now…

317
00:40:01.570 --> 00:40:09.570
Sheva Carr: After witnessing what we did at the General Assembly, we have a slightly different perspective, and with that, I will pass the baton to you, Roberto.

318
00:40:12.250 --> 00:40:14.149
Robert Browning: Can you hear me okay, Debbie?

319
00:40:15.330 --> 00:40:21.929
Robert Browning: Yeah, a little thumbs up. Thanks, Mary Beth. So yeah, I mean, the thing… the thing that was really humbling.

320
00:40:22.330 --> 00:40:24.920
Robert Browning: And beautiful, and normalizing.

321
00:40:25.220 --> 00:40:33.410
Robert Browning: about being in that room. I mean, as you all know from our work with the heart,

322
00:40:33.770 --> 00:40:36.510
Robert Browning: You know, the frequencies from our heart.

323
00:40:36.660 --> 00:40:42.450
Robert Browning: You know, we teach each other through energy, just by sitting in each other's fields, coming to the calls.

324
00:40:42.740 --> 00:40:47.469
Robert Browning: And… and so, so much also was being transferred in that room.

325
00:40:47.580 --> 00:40:49.799
Robert Browning: That's beyond the words themselves.

326
00:40:49.980 --> 00:41:05.930
Robert Browning: But this, like, from… not even just the… from even the structure, and… and so, one thing that, just to complete out the thought Sheva was saying, was… we'll highlight a few more things of the opening of the celebration of 80 years, but then every day had its own theme.

327
00:41:06.220 --> 00:41:09.649
Robert Browning: And they decided on this one for the very first day to have a…

328
00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:18.340
Robert Browning: The theme of celebrating women in an effort to continuously rebalance this world, because this whole thing…

329
00:41:18.380 --> 00:41:32.910
Robert Browning: and the world we live in, it's rebalancing energies that have gone far out of balance. And so, the UN, in its transformative way, decided to immediately transition from just this one-hour opening into

330
00:41:33.010 --> 00:41:40.879
Robert Browning: A forum and a place for all the heads of state, ministers, etc.

331
00:41:40.990 --> 00:41:54.830
Robert Browning: to express where they are relative to world standings of where… it's like a gap analysis. What are the strengths, and what have they done since the UN Charter to help bring balance back to the world around women?

332
00:41:54.860 --> 00:42:05.960
Robert Browning: and the female energies themselves, and what's still left to do. And so, I found it incredibly notable to… that they opened, actually, this meeting with

333
00:42:06.120 --> 00:42:10.269
Robert Browning: It was the first woman president of Africa, so she went down to the mic.

334
00:42:10.510 --> 00:42:12.680
Robert Browning: Happened to be the president of Liberia.

335
00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:21.480
Robert Browning: And so she was considered the Iron Lady, but just her presence, standing in that mic, giving voice, the level of dignity.

336
00:42:21.590 --> 00:42:30.419
Robert Browning: Like, so when Sheva says we're ambassadors of the heart, and what does that mean? You know, there's certain energies wanting to be come forth into the world.

337
00:42:30.630 --> 00:42:37.489
Robert Browning: And so each of these world leaders had their own signature, just like all of us do on this call.

338
00:42:37.710 --> 00:42:52.380
Robert Browning: And, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the president, first woman president in Africa, she gave voice. She was the first speaker, to come down, and it was the energy of dignity, that she was transferring in that room.

339
00:42:52.610 --> 00:43:06.499
Robert Browning: And then, of course, when you have men, so the Secretary General of the UN, Antonio Gutierrez, then he gave a speech, celebrating the 80 years and the UN's commitment in a non-political way.

340
00:43:06.800 --> 00:43:09.880
Robert Browning: To hopefully bring balance to the world.

341
00:43:10.010 --> 00:43:18.349
Robert Browning: But they just, they started doing the opening lineup, who is the first and only woman to ever serve as the director of the WHO.

342
00:43:18.460 --> 00:43:27.090
Robert Browning: Groh Harlem Brutland. She's German, she's a former physician, from Norway. She was the former Prime Minister of Norway, I guess.

343
00:43:27.240 --> 00:43:32.799
Robert Browning: But she gave voice, and it's the tenacity over time

344
00:43:33.190 --> 00:43:40.279
Robert Browning: You know, part of Heart Ambassadors is, you know, there's a world sometimes that over-atalyzes the youth.

345
00:43:40.430 --> 00:43:45.319
Robert Browning: As the future of the world, but you see these people who've been in the game

346
00:43:45.460 --> 00:43:54.289
Robert Browning: For so many years, the seasoning, the maturation of their soul, to still have the tenacity to not let the world beat them down.

347
00:43:54.630 --> 00:43:56.139
Robert Browning: To not resign.

348
00:43:56.340 --> 00:44:08.870
Robert Browning: That's also part of being a hard ambassador, and so these… these politicians… so she would stood up, and she still, with force and stability, in senior years in this chapter of her life.

349
00:44:09.050 --> 00:44:18.070
Robert Browning: is giving still an energy to all those in the room and all being broadcast globally. So it's like a never give up, right? Never give up.

350
00:44:18.310 --> 00:44:26.710
Robert Browning: So after this opening, and then a Nobel Peace Prize winner, Maria Ressa.

351
00:44:26.960 --> 00:44:29.669
Robert Browning: In terms of her…

352
00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:37.939
Robert Browning: advocacy for freedom of expression. She was powerful. Anosheva, I don't know if you want to say anything about her, but…

353
00:44:38.100 --> 00:44:42.470
Robert Browning: I know you were particularly moved by her. I was.

354
00:44:42.660 --> 00:44:47.019
Robert Browning: So… She talked about the different pillars of,

355
00:44:47.210 --> 00:44:54.199
Robert Browning: A stable society, and the cost of fake news to those pillars of truth.

356
00:44:54.350 --> 00:44:55.320
Robert Browning: Trust.

357
00:44:56.130 --> 00:45:06.790
Robert Browning: And, she was actually there by special permission because her own country, the Philippines, is censoring her.

358
00:45:07.390 --> 00:45:14.530
Robert Browning: But she teaches… she's a journalist, and she teaches at Columbia University, and she spoke about the dangers of AI.

359
00:45:14.600 --> 00:45:31.160
Robert Browning: In disrupting a shared truth, a shared global truth, and without shared global truth, she was advocating that we can't adequately construct with the stuff of reality if we don't have a common reality.

360
00:45:32.540 --> 00:45:33.500
Robert Browning: It's beautiful.

361
00:45:34.150 --> 00:45:46.559
Robert Browning: So once that opening, so kind of set the tone of the whole event, they went into… And I did put in the chat, by the way, excerpts from the President of the General Assembly and the Secretary General's speeches, which were…

362
00:45:48.310 --> 00:45:57.040
Robert Browning: Just addressed so profoundly the idea… the misnomer that peace is weakness, or peace is a…

363
00:45:57.400 --> 00:46:05.780
Robert Browning: a fairy tale, and it was really profound. And you can hear Sheva speak on my computer, yeah, when she slides over? Yeah, excellent.

364
00:46:05.940 --> 00:46:11.859
Robert Browning: So, as it continued.

365
00:46:12.120 --> 00:46:23.019
Robert Browning: It transitioned into the theme of the day, which was about this balancing of the, women in the… and the role of women in the world.

366
00:46:23.050 --> 00:46:38.099
Robert Browning: and the female energy. And essentially, what came next, and we were not going to go over each one, because there's several other major things that happened during this week, ending with this beautiful invitation to the Globalization of compassion from Dr.

367
00:46:38.100 --> 00:46:54.329
Robert Browning: Ashok Patel had given us… You're with us today. Thank you, Ashok, for being here. And, so we really want to give proper and due attention to all the events, but so I'll move through this relatively quickly, this part, but what came next were about 15 presidents, 8 prime ministers, 2 queens.

368
00:46:54.330 --> 00:47:07.869
Robert Browning: Not a partridge in a pear tree. Four deputy prime ministers, and 27 ministers of foreign affairs, all giving their reports. And, to Sheva's point, there's this implicit,

369
00:47:09.100 --> 00:47:19.509
Robert Browning: level playing field, like Shevo was saying, we're bumping into each other in the bathrooms, where every… the Madame President of the General Assembly said, look, we know there's presidents in the room.

370
00:47:19.700 --> 00:47:23.699
Robert Browning: We know there's Prime Ministers and Queens, but all of you get 3 minutes.

371
00:47:23.840 --> 00:47:25.569
Robert Browning: We're all human here.

372
00:47:25.620 --> 00:47:43.880
Robert Browning: And if you're continuing to talk at 3 minutes, apologize ahead of time, but your mic is getting turned off, and we will escort you off the stage. They get the vaudeville hook. And so these presidents who flew from all over, wherever they flew, for 3 minutes in this… And traveled across New York for hours in their motorcade.

373
00:47:44.170 --> 00:47:57.870
Robert Browning: Yeah, exactly. I, it was… it was beautiful, because each one, they would bring them up to the stage, there would be this deferential humility, almost kind of a bow to the female president of the General Assembly.

374
00:47:57.870 --> 00:48:05.029
Robert Browning: they would turn to the mic, get their 3 minutes, they would say… and I would say 50% just kept going, and then the mic turned off.

375
00:48:05.100 --> 00:48:10.100
Robert Browning: And there would be a very sincere apology, excuse us, we're having to turn off the president's mic.

376
00:48:10.110 --> 00:48:31.809
Robert Browning: And then someone, a female, would come out to the stage and just gently escort them off the stage. And so… and there was a deferential, so each person, except for one or two, were relatively, incredibly dignified through the whole process. When they realized their time was up, there would be this almost, like, you know, very respectful thank you for coming, but it was giving voice as a global

377
00:48:31.880 --> 00:48:32.900
Robert Browning: wholeness.

378
00:48:33.050 --> 00:48:39.340
Robert Browning: Being better together, as opposed to the, so often comes in politics, the posturing.

379
00:48:39.390 --> 00:48:55.429
Robert Browning: of what that can be, the temptations for being important in the world. These were true civil servants. It really was an energy to emphasize being of service to the world, and we're in service to each other. And that was the whole arc.

380
00:48:55.430 --> 00:49:12.850
Robert Browning: And so, just as a quick thing with some highlights… Oh, so we'll just say, needless to say, it gave Robert and I a whole different perspective on the 6 minutes they're willing to give us at the WHO in December. Yes, Shev and I were praying for forgiveness that the WHO would…

381
00:49:12.850 --> 00:49:19.580
Robert Browning: would reopen their doors, because we, we, 6 minutes? We did, we were trying to meet with them at midnight last night. Yeah, I wanted to meet this morning.

382
00:49:19.620 --> 00:49:29.190
Robert Browning: So, oddly still, there's still… out of the entire European Union, there's only 2 female presidents, and out of all the countries in the UN, there's 16.

383
00:49:29.230 --> 00:49:42.509
Robert Browning: But a large majority of them were all in that room, and given, real estate to… so the first president of Suriname, she opened it up, she's the first woman president of that country, she was wonderful.

384
00:49:42.590 --> 00:49:48.950
Robert Browning: I mean, we wish you could have heard all of it than the president of Switzerland, who is also, Karen Keller-Sutter.

385
00:49:49.200 --> 00:49:56.560
Robert Browning: She kind of looks like Nyanka. Nyanka, you should run for president. The president of Namibia.

386
00:49:56.960 --> 00:50:04.629
Robert Browning: Each one had their own unique dignity and their own unique leadership tone. The president of Peru.

387
00:50:04.720 --> 00:50:18.439
Robert Browning: she was just a force to be reckoned with. You could just feel… in some of these images, Jean Marie, I'm trying to give texture of the energy. Her hand is on her heart. Her hand is on her heart, it's, like, true, just like a… a wave of strength.

388
00:50:18.550 --> 00:50:20.880
Robert Browning: And some of them,

389
00:50:21.730 --> 00:50:33.339
Robert Browning: She abolished, actually, in 2023, child marriage in Peru. So they would give certain highlights of some key legislator or policy that they would move through to help advance.

390
00:50:33.500 --> 00:50:40.079
Robert Browning: The, the woman… Status of one. Thank you. The president of Slovenia,

391
00:50:40.580 --> 00:50:51.559
Robert Browning: And she gave her… she used her platform for the need… there's yet to be a Secretary General of the entire UN who has been female yet, so she actually used a lot of her time.

392
00:50:51.660 --> 00:51:05.139
Robert Browning: to make a pitch for that, and the importance. I don't know how that is chosen. And when she… when she did that, everyone in the audience… well, we kind of initiated it, but then the whole General Assembly started applauding and stood up.

393
00:51:05.440 --> 00:51:19.699
Robert Browning: Yes, yes, and there was, and then the first man came up, and he said to save the honor of some of the men in the room. But it was… there was conversation about not just gender parts.

394
00:51:20.340 --> 00:51:22.630
Robert Browning: But about how…

395
00:51:22.680 --> 00:51:41.720
Robert Browning: how important it is for the female… the need to nurture, the need to care for, the caring energy, to rise in men as well, and for men to support that, and so to help create that balance. And that was part of what Daniel Chapo, who was the president of Mozambique, spoke.

396
00:51:41.820 --> 00:51:52.979
Robert Browning: And then, the woman president of the Marshall Islands spoke. Just on and on, they were all supporting each other, getting each other's back. The president of North Macedonia.

397
00:51:53.190 --> 00:52:08.360
Robert Browning: She is one of those senior, beautiful women who've been in the game for many, many decades, but the level of the tenacity of her soul, you can just tell, you know, there's the concept of…

398
00:52:08.830 --> 00:52:22.810
Robert Browning: growing in strength as we age, as opposed to thinking age means to just be weaker and diminish over time. It's a new perception of a new world emerging, and she was definitely part of that representation.

399
00:52:23.120 --> 00:52:35.669
Robert Browning: President of Albania, the Prince of Monaco, I'm just gonna kinda stop and… and he paused, and he won an auxiliary peace prize that day. This is also…

400
00:52:35.670 --> 00:52:46.390
Robert Browning: Thanks to Ashok Patel, this was the, the permanent mission to the UN of Monica was the one that hosted this special event outside of the UN on globalization of compassion.

401
00:52:46.420 --> 00:53:00.129
Robert Browning: And when he got up and shared the stage, he was… he was really using his platform for the importance as the primary need for the economic driver for the world.

402
00:53:00.170 --> 00:53:09.550
Robert Browning: where there's world economic imbalances is because girls need to be… have full access to all sorts of education. So he… he was really an advocate of that.

403
00:53:10.390 --> 00:53:16.010
Robert Browning: Is this pacing okay? President of Commerce,

404
00:53:16.240 --> 00:53:20.959
Robert Browning: one of the younger presidents, I think he was in his early 30s of Senegal.

405
00:53:21.050 --> 00:53:30.939
Robert Browning: And he… he represented… he did represent a whole other energy. He was passionate. He was almost, like, in, like, a music rapper style.

406
00:53:30.940 --> 00:53:49.170
Robert Browning: as president of Senegal, and he was almost sing-songy in a way of having… there should be no abuse, because there was a lot of abuse of women in that, and he… being the president, being a man, he was… he was really saying how we all hold a shared responsibility to have no abuse of women, like, to really see all as human, all as equal.

407
00:53:49.170 --> 00:53:57.859
Robert Browning: And so, it was a really strong… So, the Central African Republic, the president of Liberia,

408
00:53:58.570 --> 00:54:04.420
Robert Browning: the president of the Central African Republic, this gentleman, Fauston.

409
00:54:05.120 --> 00:54:11.290
Robert Browning: He was saying that the heart of humanity hangs in the balance of us needing to invest in girls.

410
00:54:12.050 --> 00:54:20.000
Robert Browning: And so, hmm. And the president of Liberia, Joseph.

411
00:54:20.320 --> 00:54:23.349
Robert Browning: Was saying, you know, this theme of better together.

412
00:54:23.720 --> 00:54:28.969
Robert Browning: He was saying, look, when a spider… when all the spider webs unite, it can stop a lion.

413
00:54:29.250 --> 00:54:33.889
Robert Browning: And so this force that has, like, pushed it down, when we all do our part.

414
00:54:34.120 --> 00:54:42.760
Robert Browning: Just as hard ambassadors, as we all stitch that one fabric of the spiderweb, it can stop these forces that seem to be unstoppable.

415
00:54:43.710 --> 00:54:46.799
Robert Browning: President of Czech Republic.

416
00:54:48.340 --> 00:55:03.519
Robert Browning: the Prime Minister of the Solomon Islands, each one, one by one, giving their 3 minutes, some of them, most of them, getting yanked off the stage in their passion, but at the same time being… the Prime Minister of Ireland was very proud of all the advancements they've done with women.

417
00:55:03.840 --> 00:55:05.740
Robert Browning: The Prime Minister of Fiji!

418
00:55:07.070 --> 00:55:19.199
Robert Browning: Some of these presidents, when they would come out, you would feel their heart way more, like, just, you could feel the radiance of their heart, the nobility of it, the warmth of it. Prime Minister of Norway.

419
00:55:19.750 --> 00:55:25.180
Robert Browning: He was talking… he was just boasting as part of the European bloc.

420
00:55:25.300 --> 00:55:41.920
Robert Browning: of how they had been investing in women, and they brought more proceeds to oil and gas than any of the men ever did. So he was making the business case, where so often they feel saying how a third of all the military he runs is women. It's like, basically, they can't run without it.

421
00:55:46.700 --> 00:55:49.530
Robert Browning: Let me just continue to skip.

422
00:55:49.710 --> 00:55:53.140
Robert Browning: Because there's so many. Just some of the highlights.

423
00:55:53.600 --> 00:55:57.470
Robert Browning: Prime Minister of Luxembourg.

424
00:55:58.170 --> 00:56:00.939
Robert Browning: Prime Minister Luxembourg has a daughter.

425
00:56:01.690 --> 00:56:09.660
Robert Browning: And he said one of the platforms he ran on is when he realized, in the world he was growing up, his own daughter just wouldn't have the same freedom.

426
00:56:10.000 --> 00:56:11.380
Robert Browning: As every son.

427
00:56:11.910 --> 00:56:23.569
Robert Browning: And so as he grew into becoming Prime Minister of Luxembourg, that became one of his slogans, that every daughter should have the same freedom of every son, and has made it in every strategic move that he had.

428
00:56:23.770 --> 00:56:33.410
Robert Browning: Queen Matilda of Belgium, lickenstein?

429
00:56:35.600 --> 00:56:41.449
Robert Browning: Prime Minister of Pakistan. Now, I will have to say, Every once in a while.

430
00:56:42.020 --> 00:56:47.299
Robert Browning: There… you would… you would hear the tone… intonation of authenticity or not.

431
00:56:48.130 --> 00:56:59.859
Robert Browning: And you could tell, when there's a wave of people being so authentic, it still drives those who may have been hiding sometimes in their inauthenticity to at least go for it.

432
00:57:00.280 --> 00:57:14.580
Robert Browning: And I could feel this in the president of Pakistan, some of the policies, where you could feel he wanted to be a part of this movement, even though he can feel the weight of the history of some of the policies he's held. And so even in the struggle.

433
00:57:15.050 --> 00:57:20.109
Robert Browning: The notion of holding each other with compassion, because everyone's doing the best from where they come from.

434
00:57:20.550 --> 00:57:28.060
Robert Browning: And to not judge, but to help this new momentum of new love carry all into their higher nature.

435
00:57:28.420 --> 00:57:30.459
Robert Browning: Prime Minister of Iceland spoke.

436
00:57:30.650 --> 00:57:32.800
Robert Browning: I want to pause on her for a moment.

437
00:57:33.790 --> 00:57:36.749
Robert Browning: Only to say…

438
00:57:37.130 --> 00:57:45.210
Robert Browning: and I filmed her speech, if anyone wants it, I can text it to you, because we've done so much work as an organization in Iceland.

439
00:57:46.170 --> 00:57:50.339
Robert Browning: What she shared is that when she was a child.

440
00:57:51.390 --> 00:57:55.410
Robert Browning: The President of Iceland and the Prime Minister of Iceland were women.

441
00:57:56.620 --> 00:58:02.480
Robert Browning: And so that's what she saw on TV, and for her, she grew up thinking, oh, presidents are women.

442
00:58:06.450 --> 00:58:10.000
Robert Browning: And here she is, because she could see it, she could be it.

443
00:58:12.540 --> 00:58:17.600
Robert Browning: That… that was just a standout moment for me. Yeah, no, absolutely, it was a standout moment.

444
00:58:19.350 --> 00:58:30.229
Robert Browning: I think… I have a feeling, because then all the foreign ministers shared.

445
00:58:30.960 --> 00:58:32.899
Robert Browning: In the second room we were in.

446
00:58:33.550 --> 00:58:49.079
Robert Browning: Foreign Minister of Canada. It might be nice just to share the woman from Syria, because she's so incredible. Yeah. So… That's the… that's the Foreign Minister of Nicaragua. Nicaragua. So any of you who were with us in our projects in Nicaragua.

447
00:58:49.270 --> 00:58:53.559
Robert Browning: can ask us about what he shared. It was very interesting.

448
00:58:54.100 --> 00:58:55.260
Robert Browning: Exactly.

449
00:58:56.290 --> 00:59:04.249
Robert Browning: Hungry? This is a gentleman that actually spoke in the session that Angel spoke at, at the High Level Political Forum.

450
00:59:04.720 --> 00:59:10.180
Robert Browning: We are really interested in meeting him, yeah. I think Angel's on the call, so yes, he was here.

451
00:59:10.570 --> 00:59:18.290
Robert Browning: The… the brand new Foreign Ministry of the United Kingdom?

452
00:59:18.470 --> 00:59:20.830
Robert Browning: Came in and basically…

453
00:59:22.100 --> 00:59:28.449
Robert Browning: was talking about domestic abuse in England, and how their commitment to turn that around.

454
00:59:28.860 --> 00:59:41.239
Robert Browning: So to… to Sheva's… Maybe closing on the… on the Syrian… On the Syrian person, yeah, so let's just kind of skip to that. Please forgive your eyes for a moment. As you can see, there was just so many.

455
00:59:41.710 --> 00:59:50.510
Robert Browning: All incredible. All incredible. And all reporting… this is Queen Noor, or… The Queen of Jordan, Rania, was there.

456
00:59:51.150 --> 00:59:53.449
Robert Browning: Doing her impassioned bit.

457
00:59:53.860 --> 00:59:59.919
Robert Browning: Congo, UAE, Chile… give me one second,

458
01:00:00.880 --> 01:00:08.250
Robert Browning: The one thing about… the interesting thing about the Prime Minister of Chile, he was… he came from the… he was a Holocaust… his family was a Holocaust survivors.

459
01:00:08.440 --> 01:00:13.659
Robert Browning: And he brought all that. They had sucked, sucked refugee in Chile.

460
01:00:14.730 --> 01:00:20.550
Robert Browning: But here's the… the minister… the Foreign Minister of Syria.

461
01:00:21.420 --> 01:00:24.340
Robert Browning: And in the recent regime change.

462
01:00:24.870 --> 01:00:28.760
Robert Browning: It's the first time in 14 years that a… that a woman

463
01:00:29.560 --> 01:00:42.150
Robert Browning: Or that any foreign minister has actually been able to speak at the UN. Exactly. And there's… so she was standing there in that room, and as you can see, there she is on the floor.

464
01:00:42.790 --> 01:00:49.810
Robert Browning: As a symbol of hope and transformation and regime, places where

465
01:00:50.000 --> 01:00:54.020
Robert Browning: Things that seemed impossible were possible.

466
01:00:54.830 --> 01:00:58.889
Robert Browning: She, she, was very moving.

467
01:00:59.490 --> 01:01:02.290
Robert Browning: to both Sheva and I in that… in that regard.

468
01:01:02.420 --> 01:01:08.640
Robert Browning: And she's the only woman In the Syrian cabinet. Yeah.

469
01:01:08.960 --> 01:01:14.709
Robert Browning: So there's 23 members of the Syrian cabinet, she's the only one that's a woman, and somehow.

470
01:01:15.010 --> 01:01:22.410
Robert Browning: She wears her hair wild as can be, just like you see here in the picture. Without a hijab. Without a hijab.

471
01:01:22.520 --> 01:01:40.959
Robert Browning: And so she, she is… she is who she is. And she is. No beef about it. Creating her reality. She really is. So I'm gonna stop sharing my screen. So that was the first day, and it was an… it was an overwhelmingly unexpected…

472
01:01:41.410 --> 01:01:45.079
Robert Browning: Shower of… of dignity.

473
01:01:45.220 --> 01:01:48.130
Robert Browning: And humanity. And hope. And hope.

474
01:01:48.780 --> 01:01:52.159
Robert Browning: I'll turn off my mic for a moment, Chet, so you can jump in.

475
01:01:55.770 --> 01:01:56.530
Sheva Carr: God.

476
01:01:57.640 --> 01:02:03.269
Sheva Carr: I think we have these UN… you have to turn off your sound.

477
01:02:04.370 --> 01:02:07.410
Sheva Carr: Because I was grabbing the UN videos they were flying.

478
01:02:07.780 --> 01:02:18.280
Sheva Carr: What I'm actually gonna do is have us all take a stand. Stand up. Sitting is the new smoking, and we were there as part of a big initiative for health.

479
01:02:18.690 --> 01:02:25.189
Sheva Carr: So move your body in a way that feels good, because we've been sitting here for just about an hour.

480
01:02:26.960 --> 01:02:38.960
Sheva Carr: And let your stand be a stand for women and girl children, as these incredible pioneers have been working their entire lifetimes to see this moment.

481
01:02:39.310 --> 01:02:45.129
Sheva Carr: With so many women presidents and prime ministers and foreign ministers and diplomats.

482
01:02:48.020 --> 01:02:49.999
Sheva Carr: And just take a breath in.

483
01:02:52.680 --> 01:02:55.769
Sheva Carr: And appreciate them and yourself.

484
01:03:07.400 --> 01:03:18.740
Sheva Carr: Does anyone have any questions from that before we go to the whole reason we actually thought we were going to the UN in the first place? This was all the bonus material.

485
01:03:21.400 --> 01:03:26.449
Sheva Carr: Any questions or anything anyone wants to share before you hear?

486
01:03:27.120 --> 01:03:34.280
Sheva Carr: the big Harry Potter reason we were there, where Sondra and I both had to go to street corners to get secret…

487
01:03:35.010 --> 01:03:37.300
Sheva Carr: Willy Wonka golden tickets?

488
01:03:39.810 --> 01:03:45.559
Sheva Carr: I'm gonna pass the baton to Sandra, and we're all… Gonna send her…

489
01:03:47.170 --> 01:03:54.590
Sheva Carr: No, the U.S. actually did not have any representation there that I know of on that day.

490
01:03:58.550 --> 01:03:59.950
Sheva Carr: On the first day.

491
01:04:00.240 --> 01:04:03.129
Sheva Carr: But we… we did take breaks.

492
01:04:03.620 --> 01:04:07.939
Sheva Carr: Because they go all day long, so we… we took lunch break, and…

493
01:04:08.310 --> 01:04:16.180
Sheva Carr: We had to leave a little early to get back across town for our night meeting, so it's possible they showed up while we were out, but…

494
01:04:16.360 --> 01:04:18.090
Sheva Carr: We didn't see them on the agenda.

495
01:04:18.330 --> 01:04:20.179
Sheva Carr: Thanks for your question, Micah.

496
01:04:20.930 --> 01:04:28.789
Sheva Carr: But not all of the member states participate in all of the dialogues. There actually isn't even space for it. You'll… you'll see.

497
01:04:29.840 --> 01:04:33.909
Sheva Carr: They're cutting presidents off at 3 minutes.

498
01:04:34.040 --> 01:04:48.080
Sheva Carr: So, I'm gonna pass the baton to Sandra, who's gonna share the context of what drew us to apply to be present at this General Assembly in the first place, and the meetings that Sandra and I attended for that, which are advancing.

499
01:04:48.250 --> 01:04:50.740
Sheva Carr: Our bigger work has heard ambassadors.

500
01:04:51.890 --> 01:05:05.719
Sandra Solano: Thank you. And first, I just want to celebrate all the work that led for us to be invited. This was an invitation, event. And then after the invitation, you have to apply, and we are used to the UN

501
01:05:05.740 --> 01:05:11.949
Sandra Solano: we want to go to high-level political forum, here is where I want to go. No, this was a, like, a four-page application.

502
01:05:12.010 --> 01:05:28.169
Sandra Solano: We were like, oh my gosh, I don't feel like I'm applying for a loan or something. There were a lot of questions of intention, what you can contribute, what is your message, what you want to add to this event. And what the event was, is that, during the General Assembly.

503
01:05:28.170 --> 01:05:41.390
Sandra Solano: The General Assembly sponsors a high-level meeting to develop strategies for non-communicable diseases. So those are, like, diseases that are non-infectious, like hypertension, diabetes, cancer.

504
01:05:42.490 --> 01:05:54.979
Sandra Solano: And, being able to develop national strategies and goals for the World Health Organization, pretty much where they're going to put their efforts and resources, and how we're going to measure that we have been making progress.

505
01:05:55.160 --> 01:05:58.279
Sandra Solano: So, the last one has been in 2021.

506
01:05:58.280 --> 01:06:01.699
Sheva Carr: As non-communicable diseases, mental health.

507
01:06:02.340 --> 01:06:11.170
Sandra Solano: Well, I'm going there. Like, the last one was in 2021, and it did not include mental health or well-being. So, one of the big…

508
01:06:11.210 --> 01:06:26.329
Sandra Solano: transformations of advocacy of the people that have been working on this was that mental health was added to this year's document of a strategy. So, I'm putting here in the website, kind of the main page.

509
01:06:27.110 --> 01:06:34.729
Sandra Solano: I was very glad to see today they just posted the primary… the plenary Panel 1 and Panel 2.

510
01:06:35.110 --> 01:06:38.990
Sandra Solano: So this is how we work. In the application, they told us.

511
01:06:39.130 --> 01:06:43.830
Sandra Solano: There's no space for everybody, so which one do you want to apply if you are accepted?

512
01:06:43.870 --> 01:07:01.229
Sandra Solano: And then we have to say, oh, I would love to go first to Panel 1, second the plenary, third, Panel 2. So we all had to put it strategically, which one we wanted to go to. So I was accepted to attend Panel 1, and Sheva was accepted to attend Panel 2.

513
01:07:01.930 --> 01:07:07.230
Sandra Solano: We had no idea what that meant, because we have never gone. We have never done this.

514
01:07:07.410 --> 01:07:23.929
Sandra Solano: We didn't know what was going to happen, we didn't know what… But I know, because of my previous trips to the United Nations, that some of the things are more meaningful, because, you know, why don't we just watch the videos when they post them next week, right? It's because when you show up in person.

515
01:07:24.000 --> 01:07:41.540
Sandra Solano: all of a sudden, you are able to just sit next to somebody, and that's the person that you needed to contact there, and that's exactly what happened. I showed up a couple of hours earlier. By the way, we made the joke with Sheva that we finally were together at the United Nations, and we were not able to be together at the United Nations, because your pass was only for your session.

516
01:07:41.540 --> 01:07:44.029
Sandra Solano: We were not allowed to go into any other session.

517
01:07:44.420 --> 01:07:57.280
Sandra Solano: And she was not allowed to come into the building until her session passed time, so we… I had to come out, and she had to come in, so we never actually, at the same time in the United Nations. We… they have a little 10-minute debrief before she went in.

518
01:07:58.660 --> 01:08:02.620
Sandra Solano: But one of the things that happened was that

519
01:08:02.890 --> 01:08:07.850
Sandra Solano: there is this, three people sitting in the bench, and I sit next to them, and I was like.

520
01:08:07.870 --> 01:08:14.369
Sandra Solano: Hi, how are you doing? I'm Sandra, how are you? And then they introduce themselves. Where are you from? And they're from Zambia.

521
01:08:14.370 --> 01:08:31.429
Sandra Solano: oh, great, and where are you from? It's like, oh, I'm representing the Fiera Foundation, and what you're doing here, and, it's a continuation of, kind of, the efforts that we have put through so many years of really bringing, emotional self-regulation HARMAD tools

522
01:08:31.430 --> 01:08:36.259
Sandra Solano: Into a public health intervention for non-communicable diseases and mental health.

523
01:08:36.340 --> 01:08:40.940
Sandra Solano: That's why we accepted this invitation, that's why we were making the effort of being there.

524
01:08:41.350 --> 01:08:57.059
Sandra Solano: And as it is supposed to happen, then the lady's like, oh, you need to talk to him, because he is our Secretary of Non-Communicable Diseases and Mental Health for the government of Zambia. So, the one person that I needed to talk to.

525
01:08:57.090 --> 01:09:08.790
Sandra Solano: He's a psychiatrist. We had a very lovely shot, and we're sending him now a presentation of what our public health intervention proposals are, and of course, we wanted to see the data.

526
01:09:08.960 --> 01:09:19.879
Sandra Solano: Of what this is about, because the idea… one of the things we have learned as we talk with governments is the idea of non-pharmacological interventions. It's something nebulous.

527
01:09:20.010 --> 01:09:30.490
Sandra Solano: And that they cannot really put their arms around. So, we really have learned, and we're still learning how to ground them into information that they can see and digest.

528
01:09:31.710 --> 01:09:38.090
Sandra Solano: So, so that was one of the things that if we had not been there, it would have not happened.

529
01:09:38.430 --> 01:09:54.629
Sandra Solano: And then also understanding how the bureaucracy, but also the advocacy of the WHO works, because we have never been part of that kind of very close event.

530
01:09:54.740 --> 01:10:07.669
Sandra Solano: thing. So, I had the fortune to sit next to the policy advisor for the non-communicable deceased Federation, which is the organization that has full-time staff to advocate

531
01:10:07.730 --> 01:10:24.149
Sandra Solano: for certain interventions into the WSO. We also learned that the WSO has something called Best Buys, which is what they are proposing to the countries to be able to, implement as interventions that are going to be cost-effective.

532
01:10:24.680 --> 01:10:38.880
Sandra Solano: And one of the things that it was very noticeable, especially because mental health was not, until this year, considered one of those things that we're going to have interventions on, is that they don't have a best buy for mental health.

533
01:10:39.190 --> 01:10:43.079
Sandra Solano: So, that is, something that,

534
01:10:43.240 --> 01:10:52.190
Sandra Solano: that we see an opportunity, because we have a Best Buy for mental health, a non-pharmacological intervention that is very cost-effective, so…

535
01:10:52.200 --> 01:11:05.239
Sandra Solano: Those are the type of things that you learn, and you're able to see how you can blow your mission, and how to transform our strategic plan into action, and being able to make the connections that hopefully are opening the doors

536
01:11:05.260 --> 01:11:07.590
Sandra Solano: We're learning of how to do this.

537
01:11:08.040 --> 01:11:14.889
Sandra Solano: So, right there, then I'm like, how is this going to work? Because I have no idea. It's like, oh, it's going to be a panel?

538
01:11:15.060 --> 01:11:21.739
Sandra Solano: So the panel is going to present 6 minutes, so that's what actually Shea and Robert are invited to do in India, to be part of the panel.

539
01:11:21.890 --> 01:11:28.129
Sandra Solano: So there is a panel, and each person on the panel speaks for 6 minutes, so… and there were 5 of them.

540
01:11:29.130 --> 01:11:45.460
Sandra Solano: After the chairman does an introduction, and there was a co-chair that does an introduction. And then you… after the panel, they say, we're going to start with member states. If you're a member state and you wish to speak, push your button, so you get into a queue of when you're going to speak.

541
01:11:45.590 --> 01:11:57.460
Sandra Solano: If you are a civil society, we had to write our name in these little papers, and the organization we were representing, and they said, we randomly will select.

542
01:11:57.460 --> 01:12:07.689
Sandra Solano: Who to talk, but the reality, there were only, like, 6 organizations that, that were able to talk, and there were 75 of us, so most of us did not get to talk.

543
01:12:08.130 --> 01:12:18.729
Sandra Solano: However, for me to even just learn that these federations and global organizations exist, and what their position as… the position is, was very, very informative.

544
01:12:18.730 --> 01:12:30.200
Sandra Solano: And I did more of my advocacy just talking to them about it, kind of letting them know, like, this exists, this is a possibility, this is something that can help with cardiovascular disease, that can help with mental health.

545
01:12:31.130 --> 01:12:49.399
Sandra Solano: So, one of the things that, we're going to do is, if you've seen that website, there is the final document that was adopted at the… at the end. Oh, so then the plenary is where they… they just talk, there is no… in the plenary, there is not, interventions by civil society. That's just…

546
01:12:49.520 --> 01:12:53.529
Sandra Solano: Countries, but we have a lot of countries speaking in our session.

547
01:12:54.020 --> 01:13:03.530
Sandra Solano: And one of the things that I was really very surprised, because a lot of these documents are really well digested and done by the time that you hit the high-level politic… the high-level forum.

548
01:13:03.700 --> 01:13:20.609
Sandra Solano: But there were changes done, like, almost by the hour on the document. And, the final document actually was version 4, and when we arrived there, it was version 0. And I could see the things that were connected.

549
01:13:20.840 --> 01:13:26.809
Sandra Solano: To what people were advocating on the floor, appearing in the document, in the final version.

550
01:13:27.080 --> 01:13:43.950
Sandra Solano: Tomorrow, I also… so then tomorrow, during science, I'm going to go really deep on the document. Like, what does it mean? Go over the epidemiology, the interventions that they're advocating, what I think is missing from our perspective. Also, the parts where I can see our work.

551
01:13:44.390 --> 01:13:52.789
Sandra Solano: With the G20, and even the things that we said at the high-level political forum have bled into the document.

552
01:13:52.800 --> 01:14:07.420
Sandra Solano: content is very clear, where you can see our language that have been lifted and added to the document. So I think that that's a celebration that hopefully you come to science tomorrow and we get to do together to see that connection.

553
01:14:08.850 --> 01:14:16.369
Sandra Solano: And, one of the things that were highlights, I have a lot of notes of everybody who spoke.

554
01:14:16.820 --> 01:14:26.190
Sandra Solano: But things that I did not know, and that were really very touching, one of the panelists, was…

555
01:14:26.390 --> 01:14:27.920
Sandra Solano: Sarah Klein.

556
01:14:28.140 --> 01:14:35.859
Sandra Solano: Who is, the president of United for Global Mental Health, is one of those federal federation organizations.

557
01:14:36.240 --> 01:14:40.280
Sandra Solano: She lives with bipolar and anxiety from the age of 9.

558
01:14:40.650 --> 01:14:45.110
Sandra Solano: And has been doing all this advocacy for, most of her life.

559
01:14:45.810 --> 01:14:50.150
Sandra Solano: And one of the things that I was not aware

560
01:14:50.290 --> 01:14:57.050
Sandra Solano: I have seen it kind of mentioned in the original… in the first draft of the document, but I didn't know why it was mentioned.

561
01:14:57.570 --> 01:15:12.729
Sandra Solano: is that suicide is illegal in 26 countries, as criminalized. No assisted suicide, but committing suicide. It's considered a criminal activity. Therefore, those things impede

562
01:15:12.960 --> 01:15:22.509
Sandra Solano: Prevention strategies, or public health strategies, because it's seen as a crime, and only achievable to the moral failures of the person.

563
01:15:23.240 --> 01:15:25.310
Sandra Solano: No, as consequence.

564
01:15:25.570 --> 01:15:30.140
Sandra Solano: Of a disease process. So, one of the things that they're advocating is to eliminate

565
01:15:30.680 --> 01:15:35.399
Sandra Solano: The criminalization of suicide on those 26 countries.

566
01:15:35.990 --> 01:15:41.039
Sandra Solano: Something overall that was really present.

567
01:15:41.150 --> 01:15:44.700
Sandra Solano: Was the acknowledging… acknowledgement, and…

568
01:15:45.140 --> 01:15:50.629
Sandra Solano: asking for the acknowledgement, which show up in the final document. It was not in the original.

569
01:15:50.930 --> 01:15:55.400
Sandra Solano: That mental health and non-commutable diseases are linked

570
01:15:55.560 --> 01:16:11.269
Sandra Solano: In an intrinsic way, that they are not different things, that when you have things like hypertension or heart disease, you're more likely to have a mental health diagnosis, that if you have a mental health diagnosis, you're less likely to have a premature death and suffer of any of the other non-communicable diseases.

571
01:16:11.330 --> 01:16:20.219
Sandra Solano: So that was a new message within the assembly environment, and it was really emphasized almost by all the speakers.

572
01:16:24.310 --> 01:16:31.530
Sandra Solano: I'm not going to go today over every single country, because I did take notes, just especially to look which countries would be most…

573
01:16:31.830 --> 01:16:37.710
Sandra Solano: Ready for, .

574
01:16:39.360 --> 01:16:40.980
Sheva Carr: For our… the…

575
01:16:40.980 --> 01:16:41.910
Sandra Solano: collaboration.

576
01:16:41.910 --> 01:16:49.880
Sheva Carr: And really, what has emerged from the invitation that Sondra Robert and I received to travel to meet

577
01:16:50.190 --> 01:16:55.240
Sheva Carr: the Secretariat of Health and Secretariat of Economy in Mexico last month.

578
01:16:56.040 --> 01:17:05.299
Sheva Carr: And our work at the G20 two years ago is a vision that we have for our organization to do a nationwide public health intervention.

579
01:17:05.570 --> 01:17:19.520
Sheva Carr: To bring HeartMath to hair salons and sports teams, and through the media, through edutainment and telenovelas, and through hospitals and corporations, so… and schools, so whole communities.

580
01:17:20.280 --> 01:17:32.230
Sheva Carr: can benefit from the health benefits of this. And we have a full, sort of, plan for a national intervention, and so we're looking for the countries that want to be our pilot tests.

581
01:17:33.090 --> 01:17:38.250
Sheva Carr: And so, Sondra and I were in these high-level meetings, listening to the countries present.

582
01:17:38.620 --> 01:17:48.319
Sheva Carr: As the roomy poem says, if you're thirsty, the water is looking for you, and what we learned unequivocally.

583
01:17:49.310 --> 01:17:53.250
Sheva Carr: Is there our countries looking for what we have to give?

584
01:17:55.060 --> 01:18:00.060
Sheva Carr: And this document, did you put that full document in the chat, Sandra?

585
01:18:00.220 --> 01:18:12.530
Sandra Solano: I put the link for the website where the recording of Panel 1, 2, and Plenary are on the document, but I also added the document to the science reading for tomorrow.

586
01:18:13.130 --> 01:18:16.860
Sheva Carr: Fantastic. So you can find the document and read through it.

587
01:18:17.490 --> 01:18:20.699
Sheva Carr: It's like a roadmap of what we do.

588
01:18:21.290 --> 01:18:22.810
Sheva Carr: In many ways.

589
01:18:23.170 --> 01:18:32.699
Sheva Carr: Certainly the non-pharmacologic parts. So, both Sondra and I were prepared to speak in these planner… in these panels, or side events.

590
01:18:33.180 --> 01:18:38.479
Sheva Carr: And I wonder if you… do you want to share your speech, Sandra?

591
01:18:39.090 --> 01:18:40.649
Sheva Carr: And these, by the way, you got.

592
01:18:40.650 --> 01:18:41.370
Sandra Solano: Sure.

593
01:18:43.030 --> 01:18:45.370
Sandra Solano: Okay, let me pull it up.

594
01:18:52.070 --> 01:18:55.980
Sheva Carr: While Sandra pulls that up, you want to see just a few more photos?

595
01:18:58.710 --> 01:19:06.660
Sheva Carr: I'll share with you… the moment that Sandra and I got to share near the UN, outside of the…

596
01:19:09.480 --> 01:19:10.930
Sheva Carr: No, go.

597
01:19:11.890 --> 01:19:13.210
Sandra Solano: I'm ready whenever you are.

598
01:19:13.210 --> 01:19:18.030
Sheva Carr: This was us in the in-between debrief with our herd ambassador pins.

599
01:19:18.720 --> 01:19:22.199
Sheva Carr: And these pins are the Sustainable Development Goal pins.

600
01:19:23.930 --> 01:19:26.599
Sheva Carr: Alright, here we go, Sandra.

601
01:19:26.910 --> 01:19:27.700
Sheva Carr: Yes.

602
01:19:28.380 --> 01:19:37.629
Sandra Solano: So I want to start with deep appreciation for all the work, passion, heart, and dedication that each of you and your partners back home

603
01:19:37.860 --> 01:19:42.700
Sandra Solano: Have put forward to create this forum and the documents to be approved later today.

604
01:19:43.320 --> 01:19:52.209
Sandra Solano: There is an inextricable link between mental health and overall wellness, and mental illness and the developmental of other non-communicable diseases.

605
01:19:52.430 --> 01:19:57.810
Sandra Solano: The WHO list of best buys does not include interventions directly related to mental health.

606
01:19:58.020 --> 01:20:05.509
Sandra Solano: The FIRA Foundation recommends that evidence-based psychosocial interventions be considered as a low-cost, high-impact intervention.

607
01:20:05.730 --> 01:20:08.269
Sandra Solano: And we strongly recommend that,

608
01:20:09.070 --> 01:20:13.149
Sandra Solano: Oh, actually, I was writing this in the… in the hall.

609
01:20:16.180 --> 01:20:31.640
Sandra Solano: In addition, recommendation 31, that was referring to the original document, in the draft declaration regarding hypertension does not include non-pharmacological interventions, such as evidence-based heart rate variability-based emotional self-regulation.

610
01:20:31.640 --> 01:20:43.089
Sandra Solano: which have been proven to be an effective intervention for hypertension. 6 weeks of practicing these interventions was shown to reduce hypertension twice the impact of a salt-restricted diet.

611
01:20:43.310 --> 01:20:52.970
Sandra Solano: Equivalent to 2 years of pharmacological intervention, or equal to 40 pounds of weight loss, and an exercise program without the weight loss or the exercise.

612
01:20:53.920 --> 01:21:04.059
Sandra Solano: The solution that we're proposing leverages emotional and physical self-regulation skills while improving to improve mental health outcomes and non-communicable disease outcomes equitably.

613
01:21:04.340 --> 01:21:12.290
Sandra Solano: As a scalable public health intervention to improve population health and reduce the burden of diseases on providers and systems.

614
01:21:12.680 --> 01:21:27.020
Sandra Solano: Finally, one of the most critical contributors to our global mental health care crisis and lack of ubiquitous and needed access to mental and physical healthcare services is healthcare provider secondary trauma, burnout, and turnover.

615
01:21:27.160 --> 01:21:39.300
Sandra Solano: HRV self-regulation tools have been clinically proven in peer-reviewed publications to reduce healthcare provider burnout and turnover, and can be deployed at scale through licensure and CEO requirements.

616
01:21:39.450 --> 01:21:48.509
Sandra Solano: Increase the well-being of the total healthcare provider workforce will reduce turnover and burnout, increasing accessibility to care through a stabilization of the workforce.

617
01:21:48.750 --> 01:21:51.939
Sheva Carr: Andra's gonna keep going, but just so you know.

618
01:21:53.420 --> 01:21:56.759
Sheva Carr: You're listening to these with a little earpiece.

619
01:21:58.080 --> 01:22:04.369
Sheva Carr: And at that moment, if the person's speaking in your language, it just goes dead.

620
01:22:04.730 --> 01:22:05.450
Sandra Solano: Yeah.

621
01:22:05.450 --> 01:22:14.560
Sheva Carr: You see their lips continuing to move, and if it's being translated through your earpiece, the translator says, and the speaker's mic was cut.

622
01:22:16.000 --> 01:22:30.490
Sandra Solano: So I had actually that last paragraph, I had it… because you see the mic blinking when you have 30 seconds? So my strategy was that if it was blinking by the time I got to that paragraph, I was going to skip it, because the part I did not want to miss.

623
01:22:30.490 --> 01:22:43.520
Sandra Solano: was to offer our help. So the team of the Fear Foundation is honored to make ourselves available in any capacity, and partner with you in exploring and implementing this proposal, or speaking to it, and the robust research behind it.

624
01:22:44.930 --> 01:22:45.590
Sheva Carr: Ta-da!

625
01:22:45.850 --> 01:22:47.759
Sheva Carr: Thank you, Sandra!

626
01:22:48.720 --> 01:22:55.089
Sandra Solano: But I did not get to say it. I did say it to all the people around me, and I handled lots of hearts, and everybody loved their hearts.

627
01:22:55.440 --> 01:23:00.769
Sandra Solano: And it was a really conversational opener, to… to start hunting those hearts.

628
01:23:01.890 --> 01:23:10.400
Sheva Carr: I'm gonna share briefly. So, Sandra was in the morning session, which actually was such an auspicious gift.

629
01:23:10.730 --> 01:23:19.019
Sheva Carr: Because it afforded Robert and I the opportunity, to be invited to this session.

630
01:23:19.260 --> 01:23:30.040
Sheva Carr: at the permanent mission to the United Nations for the country of Monaco, on the globalization of compassion.

631
01:23:31.500 --> 01:23:37.829
Sheva Carr: And what I think that we will do is, in your October schedule, Robert and I will put

632
01:23:38.410 --> 01:23:43.119
Sheva Carr: a, during either a member's call or a Heart Start call.

633
01:23:43.540 --> 01:23:49.160
Sheva Carr: We'll do a special focus on the globalization of compassion session.

634
01:23:49.300 --> 01:23:56.050
Sheva Carr: There were multiple Nobel Peace Prize winners there. Robert and I took selfies with the President of Armenia.

635
01:23:56.170 --> 01:24:04.940
Sheva Carr: and hung out with him. It was one… Susanna Kay is getting a thumbs up from our Armenian heart ambassador there.

636
01:24:05.430 --> 01:24:14.890
Sheva Carr: Very, very profound. Carrie Kennedy of the Kennedy family and the Kennedy Center for Human Rights.

637
01:24:15.200 --> 01:24:18.110
Sheva Carr: Was there, and,

638
01:24:18.830 --> 01:24:26.699
Sheva Carr: it was a hugely moving session that really warrants its own separate conversation, so look for that in your October schedule.

639
01:24:27.250 --> 01:24:30.450
Sheva Carr: The fact that…

640
01:24:32.780 --> 01:24:48.530
Sheva Carr: They put me in the afternoon session, and Sandra in the morning session meant I could go into this crazy side event with all these people, and have the first Arab woman to have won a Nobel Peace Prize push my shoulder down so I would be at the front of the group picture.

641
01:24:48.720 --> 01:24:50.459
Sheva Carr: It was very funny.

642
01:24:50.770 --> 01:24:58.520
Sheva Carr: But… then we traded places, and I went into the UN building.

643
01:24:58.650 --> 01:25:02.889
Sheva Carr: For the afternoon, and I'm just gonna share a little bit with you.

644
01:25:05.290 --> 01:25:06.870
Sheva Carr: of,

645
01:25:10.150 --> 01:25:15.869
Sheva Carr: what happened in my session that I think is relevant. Give me one moment.

646
01:25:17.080 --> 01:25:26.480
Sheva Carr: So I was taking notes in this iPad the whole time. These are all…

647
01:25:30.240 --> 01:25:34.569
Sheva Carr: Notes from the session on compassion.

648
01:25:35.300 --> 01:25:38.190
Sheva Carr: Which I'm very excited to share with you.

649
01:25:38.980 --> 01:25:44.759
Sheva Carr: This was… The… what the room looked like here.

650
01:25:46.020 --> 01:25:54.940
Sheva Carr: In the… Panel sessions on the health programs.

651
01:25:56.560 --> 01:26:07.219
Sheva Carr: There was a woman from AstraZeneca on the panel, speaking about the need for vaccinations and, you know, very, very different worldviews.

652
01:26:07.420 --> 01:26:15.390
Sheva Carr: This woman was incredible. Again, a nod to our work in Nicaragua. She is the Minister of Health for Nicaragua.

653
01:26:15.510 --> 01:26:18.149
Sheva Carr: But she's also an Indigenous healer.

654
01:26:19.770 --> 01:26:34.089
Sheva Carr: So she spoke about starting her career. She's a physician, an MD, and an Indigenous healer, and she started her career as a doctor in Nicaragua 50 years ago, where she said the primary issues

655
01:26:34.430 --> 01:26:43.079
Sheva Carr: health issues in the rural third world in that day were diarrhea and TB, and now it's diabetes, high blood pressure, and suicide of youth.

656
01:26:44.430 --> 01:26:46.980
Sheva Carr: Especially due to climate anxiety.

657
01:26:47.830 --> 01:26:55.509
Sheva Carr: So she was a strong stand for reincorporating Indigenous wisdom and in healing.

658
01:26:55.770 --> 01:27:05.460
Sheva Carr: This, I'm very excited about, and I'll share with you. I got to meet with him and speak with him personally at the end. Dr. John Nassland is the,

659
01:27:07.280 --> 01:27:12.860
Sheva Carr: He's the co-chair of the Harvard program called Mental Health for All.

660
01:27:13.340 --> 01:27:18.120
Sheva Carr: And at Harvard, they've decided that, even…

661
01:27:18.580 --> 01:27:22.890
Sheva Carr: Clinicalizing mental health is compromising mental health.

662
01:27:23.050 --> 01:27:30.170
Sheva Carr: So he wants to see mental health brought into the communities, very much like our public health initiative that we have a vision to do.

663
01:27:30.490 --> 01:27:47.219
Sheva Carr: To bring public health to sports teams, and schools, and women's clubs, and men's clubs. And so, at Harvard, they're working actively on this with evidence-based techniques. He had never heard of HeartMath before, so we're gonna meet with John

664
01:27:47.490 --> 01:27:54.209
Sheva Carr: And look at how we can collaborate with the Harvard's Medical School Mental Health for All program.

665
01:27:55.020 --> 01:27:56.929
Sheva Carr: Really, really incredible.

666
01:27:59.480 --> 01:28:12.290
Sheva Carr: Liberia just had such a strong presence in all the meetings that we were in. Liberia is one of those countries, Sandra, that could be a great candidate for us, because they're striving for universal healthcare for all.

667
01:28:12.550 --> 01:28:20.209
Sheva Carr: This was the speech I wrote impromptu in the moment, which, if people want to hear it, I could deliver.

668
01:28:20.700 --> 01:28:28.899
Sheva Carr: And then the president of the International Diabetes Foundation spoke. Estonia is also looking for partnerships, like.

669
01:28:29.020 --> 01:28:34.280
Sheva Carr: hours and establishing universal healthcare, would love to work with Estonia.

670
01:28:34.870 --> 01:28:42.520
Sheva Carr: Japan, the Minister of Health from Japan,

671
01:28:42.900 --> 01:28:49.170
Sheva Carr: shared with us something that we also learned from the Secretariat of Economy for the Health Budget for all of Mexico.

672
01:28:49.450 --> 01:28:59.929
Sheva Carr: And so I think this is really a problem for many countries, which is that, we're living longer.

673
01:29:01.170 --> 01:29:06.170
Sheva Carr: But the second half of life is when we need the most health interventions.

674
01:29:07.430 --> 01:29:12.140
Sheva Carr: And it's also the time when, in countries like Japan and Mexico, people are retired.

675
01:29:12.600 --> 01:29:16.100
Sheva Carr: So they're not adding to the economics of the country.

676
01:29:16.480 --> 01:29:25.690
Sheva Carr: So there's a crisis waiting to happen where the elder generation is no longer contributing to the economy, but taking from it for their healthcare.

677
01:29:26.080 --> 01:29:33.389
Sheva Carr: And there's not enough young people entering the workforce and the healthcare workforce to take care of the older generation.

678
01:29:33.540 --> 01:29:37.169
Sheva Carr: And both, I mean, the Minister of…

679
01:29:37.440 --> 01:29:42.550
Sheva Carr: economy for the health budget in Mexico told us this keeps him up at night.

680
01:29:43.700 --> 01:29:49.899
Sheva Carr: Because it's a massive crisis waiting to happen, and the minister from Japan shared the similar

681
01:29:50.160 --> 01:30:06.510
Sheva Carr: similar issue. And this is an arena where, when we met with the Minister of Mexico, we expressed how heart math can be part of the solution to that crisis, because as people practice HeartMath interventions, they extend not just their lifespan, but their health

682
01:30:06.510 --> 01:30:10.530
Sheva Carr: span. Health span means you live longer, but live better.

683
01:30:11.190 --> 01:30:18.329
Sheva Carr: And don't pull as much on the economy, and have the energy, vitality, health, and passion to contribute to it.

684
01:30:19.530 --> 01:30:27.989
Sheva Carr: The International Federation of Medical Students had spoken right before Angel at the High Level Political Forum, and they also spoke in the session that I was in.

685
01:30:28.510 --> 01:30:36.680
Sheva Carr: Ireland also was represented here, and they have a community-based mental health initiative. They could be great candidates to work with.

686
01:30:42.970 --> 01:30:49.609
Sheva Carr: this gentleman's speech, who was from the Global Mental Health Action Network, and I met with him at the end as well.

687
01:30:49.730 --> 01:30:55.659
Sheva Carr: was by far, aside from the President of the General Assembly, the most moving speech I heard all day.

688
01:30:56.430 --> 01:31:02.209
Sheva Carr: And I will do with you what he did with us during his 2 minutes, which is to say.

689
01:31:02.810 --> 01:31:06.190
Sheva Carr: Pause for 5 seconds of silence.

690
01:31:15.910 --> 01:31:20.859
Sheva Carr: In that 5 seconds, one person in the world has died of suicide.

691
01:31:21.130 --> 01:31:29.359
Sheva Carr: One entered a psych ward for months, or possibly years. 140 children were experiencing abuse, physically.

692
01:31:29.470 --> 01:31:34.370
Sheva Carr: 130 people looked down at an empty plate with no food on it, hungry.

693
01:31:34.650 --> 01:31:38.579
Sheva Carr: We cannot afford even one more second of silence.

694
01:31:39.680 --> 01:31:42.760
Sheva Carr: We must raise our voices to change this.

695
01:31:44.720 --> 01:31:53.490
Sheva Carr: That's how he began his speech, and we're gonna connect to see how we can support what the Global Mental Health Action Network is doing.

696
01:31:54.800 --> 01:32:06.019
Sheva Carr: for, or mental health worldwide. As you can see, also many ministers of countries. Russia was represented, Switzerland.

697
01:32:06.190 --> 01:32:19.629
Sheva Carr: The… Bangladeshi… and… Bhutan stood out to me the most in the session.

698
01:32:20.020 --> 01:32:27.750
Sheva Carr: as candidates for our collaboration, they were actively asking for development partners.

699
01:32:27.850 --> 01:32:32.649
Sheva Carr: To help reduce tobacco use, and in Bhutan.

700
01:32:33.260 --> 01:32:39.150
Sheva Carr: Which we'll speak more about when we, talk about the globalization of compassion.

701
01:32:39.500 --> 01:32:41.590
Sheva Carr: The King of Bhutan.

702
01:32:41.760 --> 01:32:51.310
Sheva Carr: who my cousin Paul is friends with, actually. The King of Bhutan has set aside a million acres in the country of Bhutan.

703
01:32:51.530 --> 01:32:54.610
Sheva Carr: To create a model city for the future.

704
01:32:55.730 --> 01:33:09.480
Sheva Carr: With sustainability, of energy, with… but also with the well-being of all being taken into account. So I flagged for me that we should reach out to Bhutan and see could they…

705
01:33:09.600 --> 01:33:14.070
Sheva Carr: The first hospital to incorporate HeartMath from the ground up.

706
01:33:14.910 --> 01:33:20.020
Sheva Carr: From literally building the hospital, and bringing in the staff.

707
01:33:21.680 --> 01:33:29.269
Sheva Carr: when Joint Commission, came to evaluate the hospital before it opened its doors.

708
01:33:29.630 --> 01:33:35.149
Sheva Carr: The nursing team that walked the evaluators through the hospital

709
01:33:35.470 --> 01:33:40.479
Sheva Carr: Did a quick coherence and heart math with them before they started the evaluation.

710
01:33:41.020 --> 01:33:44.230
Sheva Carr: And it was the first time that Joint Commission

711
01:33:44.640 --> 01:33:48.749
Sheva Carr: Ever had zero findings at the opening of a new hospital.

712
01:33:49.170 --> 01:33:52.560
Sheva Carr: That was Kaiser Antioch many years ago.

713
01:33:52.700 --> 01:33:58.360
Sheva Carr: Imagine if a model city for the world, the future of the world, from the ground up.

714
01:33:58.540 --> 01:34:06.810
Sheva Carr: incorporated heart math as a public health intervention, so we have plans to reach out to Bhutan.

715
01:34:10.110 --> 01:34:12.750
Sheva Carr: I will close this section.

716
01:34:14.210 --> 01:34:19.570
Sheva Carr: With the final speech that was given in my section, and actually.

717
01:34:20.810 --> 01:34:24.409
Sheva Carr: I'll just see… if you look at this picture here…

718
01:34:24.870 --> 01:34:29.469
Sheva Carr: Do you guys see me in the background? That's me with the mask on, taking the picture.

719
01:34:30.440 --> 01:34:40.030
Sheva Carr: So, the final speech that was given was by the president of an organization called Health Age International.

720
01:34:41.120 --> 01:34:52.220
Sheva Carr: They're in 99 countries, and honor, again, that the older population in the last half of life is the most vulnerable to non-communicable diseases and mental health.

721
01:34:52.500 --> 01:34:58.860
Sheva Carr: And within the document that Sandra referenced that was part of what we were there to facilitate the building of.

722
01:35:01.280 --> 01:35:13.299
Sheva Carr: They… she acknowledged and appreciated the document and all the efforts gone into it, but everywhere in the document, at least in the zero draft that we saw originally.

723
01:35:13.810 --> 01:35:20.619
Sheva Carr: They referred to premature death from non-communicable diseases and mental health issues below the age of 70.

724
01:35:21.390 --> 01:35:27.519
Sheva Carr: Which subtly communicates, or not so subtly, that, well, it's normal to die of those things after the age of 70.

725
01:35:27.910 --> 01:35:31.600
Sheva Carr: And her advocacy was to remove age.

726
01:35:31.950 --> 01:35:33.570
Sheva Carr: as a criteria.

727
01:35:34.490 --> 01:35:38.129
Sheva Carr: And create more universal risk measures.

728
01:35:38.370 --> 01:35:45.120
Sheva Carr: That would include those in the latter half of life being protected from death due to non-communicable disease.

729
01:35:45.780 --> 01:35:49.649
Sheva Carr: I really, really appreciated that perspective shift.

730
01:35:49.820 --> 01:35:57.639
Sheva Carr: Especially as, at Heart Ambassadors, we celebrate our longevity matrix every new year.

731
01:35:58.830 --> 01:36:04.940
Sheva Carr: I'm just gonna check the chat, and then I have a couple of photos to close with.

732
01:36:06.440 --> 01:36:13.510
Sheva Carr: Yes, Armenia would definitely be considered, Susanna, and we could discuss ways to have that.

733
01:36:14.520 --> 01:36:18.590
Sheva Carr: Mary Beth is asking about,

734
01:36:19.130 --> 01:36:23.610
Sheva Carr: whether the U.S. is a candidate, for,

735
01:36:24.220 --> 01:36:30.289
Sheva Carr: And it looks like, Dutch Queen Maxima, maybe Nyanka can connect us with her.

736
01:36:31.060 --> 01:36:35.950
Sheva Carr: I love it that all the countries are lining up.

737
01:36:38.640 --> 01:36:47.929
Sheva Carr: So, the United States really became a candidate when Sandra Robert and I were in Mexico.

738
01:36:48.150 --> 01:37:00.200
Sheva Carr: As there were, delegates on our, Track 3 diplomacy delegation, which is business diplomacy, from the Make America Healthy movement.

739
01:37:00.520 --> 01:37:02.699
Sheva Carr: Make America Healthy Again movement.

740
01:37:03.070 --> 01:37:11.100
Sheva Carr: And they were very open to and very interested in HeartMath because they are interested in anything non-pharmaceutical.

741
01:37:11.890 --> 01:37:19.310
Sheva Carr: And so, we have to see where that goes. We've worked with Health and Human Services in the United States in the past.

742
01:37:19.630 --> 01:37:27.660
Sheva Carr: But never as a nationwide public health intervention. In fact, when we met with the Minister of…

743
01:37:28.140 --> 01:37:36.579
Sheva Carr: the economy for the health budget for the country of Mexico, and presented what we do to him. His first question for us is.

744
01:37:37.000 --> 01:37:48.809
Sheva Carr: If this really does what you say it does… do you remember when Javier said this, Sandra? If this really does what you say it does, why isn't it public policy at the national level in the United States?

745
01:37:49.340 --> 01:37:50.410
Sheva Carr: And…

746
01:37:50.550 --> 01:38:04.109
Sheva Carr: We essentially shared that we already do work with the VA, and with Health and Human Services, and the California Select Committee on the Mental Health Crisis, etc, etc, but that, really, we just

747
01:38:04.660 --> 01:38:09.149
Sheva Carr: passed our policies at the G20 only 2 years ago.

748
01:38:09.250 --> 01:38:18.599
Sheva Carr: And so, we have yet to find the country that's willing to be our nationwide pilot. You want to add something to that, Sandra, while I pull up the final?

749
01:38:18.600 --> 01:38:29.459
Sandra Solano: And actually, in the United States, we don't have the ideal conditions to be the pilot for a public health intervention, because we don't have a government self-pay system.

750
01:38:30.100 --> 01:38:38.499
Sandra Solano: So, the system, even Medicaid and Medicare now, has been mostly given to private, for-profit organizations.

751
01:38:38.780 --> 01:38:48.869
Sandra Solano: And in the rules of those contracts, and I know this in Ohio because actually I headed Medicaid when we transferred from fee-for-service, or the Medicaid system, to the managed care system.

752
01:38:49.160 --> 01:38:57.300
Sandra Solano: There is guaranteed payment of certain level of administrative costs. That is a percentage of the premiums that you collect.

753
01:38:57.810 --> 01:39:07.199
Sandra Solano: So, for example, in Ohio, we guarantee 14% administrative costs for all the Medicaid clients that you enroll.

754
01:39:08.110 --> 01:39:21.439
Sandra Solano: But that has translated into a vicious cycle where there is an incentive for the managed care organization to reduce costs, because if you reduce costs, you reduce…

755
01:39:21.540 --> 01:39:24.009
Sandra Solano: The administrative fee that you get paid.

756
01:39:24.570 --> 01:39:39.840
Sandra Solano: So, and actually, two days ago, I got a check from my insurance, because my insurance is in the marketplace, and there are similar regulations, and they charge more for premiums that they spent, so they had to return money.

757
01:39:39.950 --> 01:39:50.539
Sandra Solano: So, if they implement cost-savings measures, they have to return money, and 20% of $1,000 is less than 20% of $2,000.

758
01:39:50.690 --> 01:40:02.140
Sandra Solano: And because they're for-profit, it's more profitable to charge 20% of $2,000. So actually, we have a pervasive financial system when there is not even incentives for savings.

759
01:40:02.140 --> 01:40:03.859
Sheva Carr: Unless you are…

760
01:40:03.860 --> 01:40:08.360
Sandra Solano: Except at a place like Kaiser, which has been a huge… They say it's self-pay, yeah.

761
01:40:08.360 --> 01:40:17.170
Sheva Carr: Because it's self-pay. So that's why you're hearing that Asandra and I are vetting countries, basically, to see who we want to date.

762
01:40:17.570 --> 01:40:29.330
Sheva Carr: It's like speed dating at the nation level. You'll see that we highlighted all the countries that either have universal healthcare funded by the government.

763
01:40:29.740 --> 01:40:38.769
Sheva Carr: Or are striving to achieve universal healthcare and looking for best practices and best buys that will help them achieve that with the budgets they have.

764
01:40:39.190 --> 01:40:40.470
Sheva Carr: So that.

765
01:40:40.470 --> 01:40:54.580
Sandra Solano: One of the countries that I was very excited and I went to follow up with was France, because the Minister of Health of France talked very specifically about mental health. They had a mental health initiative the last 3 years, and they did a lot of cost-benefit analysis.

766
01:40:54.770 --> 01:41:09.129
Sandra Solano: And her conclusion was that investing in mental health actually was a profitable affair, and they have research to back that up. So, that's already a country that's thinking in the way that we are trying to get to.

767
01:41:09.400 --> 01:41:13.369
Sheva Carr: Country Tinder swiping, says Nyanka.

768
01:41:13.510 --> 01:41:18.790
Sheva Carr: Well, it's more like a speed date, because you were listening to them for 3 minutes. They get 3 minutes.

769
01:41:22.090 --> 01:41:29.940
Sandra Solano: And they turn off the mics. So… You are listening for 3 minutes, it's like, okay, no, that one.

770
01:41:29.940 --> 01:41:33.090
Sheva Carr: It's pretty much like that.

771
01:41:34.720 --> 01:41:37.200
Sheva Carr: I,

772
01:41:38.120 --> 01:41:50.069
Sheva Carr: we will set a time to talk about the Globalization of Compassion meeting, which was such a huge gift, and we'll invite Dr. Patel, who got Robert and I into that meeting, to join us for that.

773
01:41:50.380 --> 01:41:52.800
Sheva Carr: But I want to share,

774
01:41:53.240 --> 01:42:00.500
Sheva Carr: some experiences, just briefly, 5 minutes, if you'll indulge me for that, of walking the UN grounds.

775
01:42:02.700 --> 01:42:09.229
Sheva Carr: It's… it's so interesting how one's Heart Blueprint calls you.

776
01:42:09.690 --> 01:42:17.690
Sheva Carr: And… I am not an urban girl. Put me… you guys all know, I'm sort of half… very half…

777
01:42:18.530 --> 01:42:22.250
Sheva Carr: Alien. Put me in a forest, and I'm in my natural habitat.

778
01:42:22.970 --> 01:42:29.069
Sheva Carr: So being in the concrete jungle of New York is, like, never the place I would choose to go.

779
01:42:29.460 --> 01:42:33.609
Sheva Carr: But… that… That inner calling.

780
01:42:35.290 --> 01:42:40.790
Sheva Carr: makes the impossible possible. Turns it into I'm possible.

781
01:42:42.150 --> 01:43:01.470
Sheva Carr: But for me, then, just to say, to be in New York with all the stimulation, like, you know, Robert and I go out of our way to go on hikes during the week when no one else is there, like, we don't like crowds, we don't like concrete, so you have to imagine this is completely putting us out of our comfort zone.

782
01:43:03.080 --> 01:43:10.649
Sheva Carr: And… The things that I want to share with you is then you get to the UN grounds.

783
01:43:11.360 --> 01:43:18.130
Sheva Carr: Where there's literally whole places in New York where you cannot see Anything green.

784
01:43:19.120 --> 01:43:22.020
Sheva Carr: And then there's this whole garden.

785
01:43:23.840 --> 01:43:28.929
Sheva Carr: So I ended up doing Tai Chi, Next to the press corps.

786
01:43:29.450 --> 01:43:37.989
Sheva Carr: In the garden, with bees and flowers, and the resilience of nature. There's the concrete jungle.

787
01:43:38.710 --> 01:43:42.690
Sheva Carr: And here we are at the UN in a rose garden.

788
01:43:43.720 --> 01:43:46.839
Sheva Carr: These values of all life.

789
01:43:47.490 --> 01:43:55.430
Sheva Carr: This is the garden with the flowers, where the bees were, where I was doing Tai Chi, and you can see over there is where the press corps is hiding.

790
01:43:55.990 --> 01:44:01.020
Sheva Carr: This gives you a sense of the whole building we were in, and all the different rooms.

791
01:44:01.380 --> 01:44:05.710
Sheva Carr: We were in the Trusteeship Council in this room.

792
01:44:06.320 --> 01:44:09.340
Sheva Carr: For the second half of the first day.

793
01:44:09.470 --> 01:44:12.220
Sheva Carr: and the General Assembly on the first day.

794
01:44:13.210 --> 01:44:17.770
Sheva Carr: this statue of St. Agnes.

795
01:44:18.780 --> 01:44:25.750
Sheva Carr: Is one of the few things that survived The bombing of Nagasaki.

796
01:44:27.310 --> 01:44:30.080
Sheva Carr: She was found face down.

797
01:44:32.210 --> 01:44:37.710
Sheva Carr: after the bombing of Nagasaki, holding the lamb with her right arm missing.

798
01:44:41.770 --> 01:44:48.849
Sheva Carr: So the exhibits in the UN, like, everywhere, bringing peace forth from war.

799
01:44:51.090 --> 01:44:57.049
Sheva Carr: And there's a quote on the wall on the UN grounds, so I was leaving these little hearts everywhere.

800
01:44:57.390 --> 01:45:01.040
Sheva Carr: This was in the UN flag outside the press corps room.

801
01:45:01.340 --> 01:45:05.219
Sheva Carr: The UN was not created to take mankind to heaven.

802
01:45:05.570 --> 01:45:11.740
Sheva Carr: He said the first, or the second UN Secretary General, it wasn't created to bring us to heaven.

803
01:45:12.070 --> 01:45:14.149
Sheva Carr: But to save us from hell.

804
01:45:17.960 --> 01:45:25.100
Sheva Carr: And within those… corridors of the UN.

805
01:45:28.180 --> 01:45:44.669
Sheva Carr: Here's me standing outside the press corps, so you have every country in the world with their nation's press team. They're interviewing heads of state in the garden, and ministers, and PR people addressing what was ratified, or who said what, and…

806
01:45:45.290 --> 01:45:47.660
Sheva Carr: What it meant for the world.

807
01:45:49.100 --> 01:45:57.940
Sheva Carr: But… This was one of the things that we found there.

808
01:46:00.470 --> 01:46:08.950
Sheva Carr: in the exhibits in the UN is a new element Humanium metal.

809
01:46:09.530 --> 01:46:13.589
Sheva Carr: So there's a picture, Jean Marie, of a watch made with this metal.

810
01:46:14.290 --> 01:46:15.750
Sheva Carr: H U.

811
01:46:17.370 --> 01:46:24.909
Sheva Carr: These sustainable products are made from humanium metal, sourced from destroyed illegal firearms.

812
01:46:25.140 --> 01:46:37.889
Sheva Carr: to highlight the alarming global issue of gun violence. With the support of governments of El Salvador and Sweden, Humanium Medal is an initiative of the I Am Swedish Development Partner.

813
01:46:38.210 --> 01:46:41.620
Sheva Carr: It promotes peaceful and inclusive societies.

814
01:46:42.520 --> 01:46:50.690
Sheva Carr: It not only delivers vital financial support to affected individuals and communities, but carries a strong ethical message.

815
01:46:51.600 --> 01:46:56.980
Sheva Carr: So, turning firearms into jewelry… And watches.

816
01:46:57.840 --> 01:47:00.470
Sheva Carr: Humanium metal.

817
01:47:00.630 --> 01:47:04.220
Sheva Carr: The transformation of violence into peace.

818
01:47:04.620 --> 01:47:10.139
Sheva Carr: And for those who don't know, some members of our community, follow the spiritual path of Ekinkar.

819
01:47:10.720 --> 01:47:15.899
Sheva Carr: Which… Celebrates the hue as their version of the ohm.

820
01:47:17.650 --> 01:47:27.619
Sheva Carr: I'm gonna close this… Well, first I'll just share this photo is on the UN grounds.

821
01:47:28.710 --> 01:47:35.039
Sheva Carr: The UNGA stands for UN General Assembly. That's me and Robert there the first day.

822
01:47:36.270 --> 01:47:40.000
Sheva Carr: And this is a video near the Humanium metal.

823
01:47:40.680 --> 01:47:44.189
Sheva Carr: And I'll read for Jean Marie and others who can't see it.

824
01:47:46.190 --> 01:47:54.849
Sheva Carr: This is, it says from Ban Ki-moon, a United Nations Secretary General, the world is over-armed and peace is underfunded.

825
01:47:55.040 --> 01:47:59.549
Sheva Carr: And it's a running tally of the daily military expenditure worldwide.

826
01:48:00.330 --> 01:48:00.910
Audio shared by Sheva Carr: And I…

827
01:48:00.910 --> 01:48:01.580
Sheva Carr: darted.

828
01:48:02.020 --> 01:48:04.020
Audio shared by Sheva Carr: It was… Six.

829
01:48:05.640 --> 01:48:06.890
Audio shared by Sheva Carr: Billion or trillion, I guess.

830
01:48:07.510 --> 01:48:09.059
Audio shared by Sheva Carr: That's 6 trillion.

831
01:48:11.990 --> 01:48:16.350
Audio shared by Sheva Carr: Maybe it's… So the annual And the chair. Thank you.

832
01:48:16.650 --> 01:48:17.500
Audio shared by Sheva Carr: Brilliant.

833
01:48:18.000 --> 01:48:23.639
Audio shared by Sheva Carr: Official development Bill UN budget.

834

Audio shared by Sheva Carr: 3.4 pounds.

835
01:48:25.260 --> 01:48:25.980
Sheva Carr: skin.

836
01:48:27.440 --> 01:48:31.570
Sheva Carr: International disarmament is only 66…

837
01:48:34.240 --> 01:48:40.849
Audio shared by Sheva Carr: And by the time I went back, It had already gone up.

838
01:48:41.860 --> 01:48:43.979
Audio shared by Sheva Carr: By another million dollars.

839
01:48:44.230 --> 01:48:45.350
Audio shared by Sheva Carr: Just this second.

840
01:48:46.050 --> 01:48:46.860
Audio shared by Sheva Carr: Daily.

841
01:48:50.610 --> 01:48:58.409
Sheva Carr: This is… the hell that the United Nations was designed To save us from.

842
01:48:59.340 --> 01:49:07.260
Sheva Carr: And from the conversations that we were all privileged to have, It's happening.

843
01:49:08.500 --> 01:49:09.810
Sheva Carr: It's real.

844
01:49:09.960 --> 01:49:15.880
Sheva Carr: It may not look like it to you on what gets… the drama that gets highlighted on the news.

845
01:49:16.460 --> 01:49:18.190
Sheva Carr: But in the hallways.

846
01:49:18.420 --> 01:49:26.730
Sheva Carr: In the places, like… the… roads of Calcutta.

847
01:49:27.130 --> 01:49:33.510
Sheva Carr: Where a woman is taking care of her husband who's had a stroke, and her child, who has cerebral palsy.

848
01:49:33.640 --> 01:49:41.840
Sheva Carr: And she herself needs a… A malaria vaccine. Or malaria medication.

849
01:49:42.930 --> 01:49:45.120
Sheva Carr: and the Minister of Health

850
01:49:45.900 --> 01:49:54.610
Sheva Carr: Found ways to scalably get that to her. Support for her husband, support for her child, support for her.

851
01:49:54.760 --> 01:49:56.930
Sheva Carr: to the street of Calcutta.

852
01:49:59.220 --> 01:50:00.370
Sheva Carr: It's there.

853
01:50:03.870 --> 01:50:05.789
Sheva Carr: I'll just say that…

854
01:50:08.360 --> 01:50:15.879
Sheva Carr: in the Compassion… the Globalization of Compassion Forum, which will create time for you to hear more about.

855
01:50:18.570 --> 01:50:19.840
Sheva Carr: the…

856
01:50:20.300 --> 01:50:26.669
Sheva Carr: Daughter of the Nobel Peace laureate that began the program shared the story of the hummingbird and the fire.

857
01:50:28.490 --> 01:50:31.150
Sheva Carr: Some of you have probably heard this story.

858
01:50:31.970 --> 01:50:39.500
Sheva Carr: That the forest is burning. This one, the first time I heard it, we were evacuated from a fire in our forest, so it really got me.

859
01:50:40.970 --> 01:50:45.260
Sheva Carr: The forest is burning, the world is on fire, and the hummingbird

860
01:50:45.770 --> 01:50:53.419
Sheva Carr: Keeps flying out of the burning forest to a little puddle and picking up water in her beak and flying back in.

861
01:50:54.030 --> 01:51:02.519
Sheva Carr: And the other animals that have fled are saying, what are you doing? You're crazy, your wings are getting singed. Why do you keep going back in?

862
01:51:03.050 --> 01:51:06.679
Sheva Carr: She says, because I can carry a drop of water in my beak.

863
01:51:08.040 --> 01:51:11.239
Sheva Carr: And that drop of water may be all that I can add.

864
01:51:11.960 --> 01:51:13.829
Sheva Carr: But I will do my part.

865
01:51:16.170 --> 01:51:20.989
Sheva Carr: That's what compassion does, and that's what each of you do as Heart Ambassadors.

866
01:51:22.720 --> 01:51:34.709
Sheva Carr: Let me just check the chat to see if there's any final questions. Nope, just Tinder swiping countries. Is there anything else anyone else would like to share or ask to complete?

867
01:51:35.300 --> 01:51:38.839
Sheva Carr: Our time together on this report back.

868
01:51:39.340 --> 01:51:41.249
Lola Moonfrog: Just thank you so much!

869
01:51:41.410 --> 01:51:43.569
Lola Moonfrog: Thank you, thank you, thank you!

870
01:51:44.500 --> 01:51:50.280
Sheva Carr: Thank you, Lola. Well, let's honor that the FIRA Foundation exists because of Lola.

871
01:51:50.790 --> 01:51:51.770
Lola Moonfrog: Thank you.

872
01:51:51.770 --> 01:51:59.689
Sheva Carr: Lola's organization, the Pond Foundation, so she was the hummingbird that picked up the pond in her beak.

873
01:52:00.100 --> 01:52:06.560
Sheva Carr: And she funded the legal fees that got us our nonprofit status in 2012.

874
01:52:07.790 --> 01:52:14.770
Sheva Carr: So thank you, thank you, thank you, Lola. We wouldn't be… we wouldn't have access to the UN without what you did.

875
01:52:15.300 --> 01:52:18.370
Lola Moonfrog: Well, there's more to come. I'm sure!

876
01:52:18.370 --> 01:52:21.740
Sheva Carr: We'll get your butt to the UN with us one day.

877
01:52:21.740 --> 01:52:23.019
Lola Moonfrog: I would love that.

878
01:52:23.020 --> 01:52:24.720
Sheva Carr: Do its little birthday.

879
01:52:24.720 --> 01:52:27.487
Lola Moonfrog: Yeah, oh yeah.

880
01:52:28.530 --> 01:52:29.440
Lola Moonfrog: Yeah.

881
01:52:29.610 --> 01:52:30.470
Lola Moonfrog: Yeah.

882
01:52:31.690 --> 01:52:36.870
Sheva Carr: This is a we, not a me. Everyone here has played a part in this.

883
01:52:37.500 --> 01:52:40.029
Lola Moonfrog: My heart's calling is full of surprises.

884
01:52:41.410 --> 01:52:46.020
Sheva Carr: Who would have imagined me excited to go to the concrete jungle?

885
01:52:48.320 --> 01:52:50.540
Sheva Carr: I'm full of surprises.

886
01:52:55.030 --> 01:53:01.400
Sheva Carr: Thank you, Susanna. Anyone else have anything you'd like to share?

887
01:53:01.730 --> 01:53:04.220
Sheva Carr: Or ask… Awesome.

888
01:53:05.010 --> 01:53:06.169
Sheva Carr: Like the joke.

889
01:53:06.290 --> 01:53:08.880
Sheva Carr: Make a cup. Yes, please.

890
01:53:10.420 --> 01:53:12.250
Sheva Carr: Is that Karen Glowacki?

891
01:53:13.370 --> 01:53:17.400
Sheva Carr: Yeah, can I say something real quick here, Gal? Absolutely. Thank you.

892
01:53:18.120 --> 01:53:20.019
Sheva Carr: Oh my gosh, thank you for…

893
01:53:20.140 --> 01:53:23.090
Sheva Carr: all of this work, and I…

894
01:53:23.280 --> 01:53:33.659
Sheva Carr: I feel such… I'm so removed from it, it feels like it, and when I hear this, I feel like I was at the UN. The way you guys,

895
01:53:33.990 --> 01:53:38.449
Sheva Carr: delivered this information. You, Robert, and, Sandra.

896
01:53:39.040 --> 01:53:46.589
Sheva Carr: So, incredibly amazing, and I'm just gonna thank you from the top and bottom and middle and…

897
01:53:46.740 --> 01:53:57.070
Sheva Carr: Pardon my heart, and one of the things that came to mind in the beginning, when you shared, even now, about the concrete jungle, way back.

898
01:53:57.460 --> 01:54:00.620
Sheva Carr: 50 years ago, 46 years ago, when I

899
01:54:01.050 --> 01:54:07.560
Sheva Carr: started studying the Bible and getting heavy into, you know, like, understanding what this book was that

900
01:54:07.700 --> 01:54:16.759
Sheva Carr: sat up on the altar at the Catholic Church, whatever. One of the certain verses which just jumps out at me that invoke such truth, just such pearls of wisdom.

901
01:54:17.010 --> 01:54:21.720
Sheva Carr: And one of them was that Your greatest weakness.

902
01:54:22.300 --> 01:54:24.520
Sheva Carr: I'll be your breeder.

903
01:54:25.300 --> 01:54:38.310
Sheva Carr: And it came to mind when you were talking about a little 7-year-old girl who was in the psychiatric office, you know, needed whatever, is now all over the world building peace, and it's…

904
01:54:39.040 --> 01:54:46.560
Sheva Carr: Just the hope of listening to that, hearing your story, is This reminds me of…

905
01:54:47.090 --> 01:54:51.089
Sheva Carr: When I was 4 years old, they nicknamed me Hysteria.

906
01:54:51.360 --> 01:54:55.779
Sheva Carr: And I remember one of my coaches later in life, as I heard that, he said.

907
01:54:56.590 --> 01:55:11.180
Sheva Carr: it's like the hysteria, you know, it's like you're here to transform that and become the opposite. And I've… ever since I've been part of Heart Mastery, I'm watching that happen, and that is a beautiful process, to be able to be…

908
01:55:11.450 --> 01:55:20.590
Sheva Carr: stable, and to be neutral, and to be available, and to be present, and all the things that you can't when you're in hysteria, so…

909
01:55:20.910 --> 01:55:23.389
Sheva Carr: so much hope in all of this, and I just…

910
01:55:23.570 --> 01:55:35.960
Sheva Carr: Oh my gosh, I'm just sending hugs to every one of you listening, and to you and Sandra and Robert, thank you, thank you, thank you. It's so poignant to me that you called that back out about my…

911
01:55:36.370 --> 01:55:47.979
Sheva Carr: beginnings in a psychiatrist's office as a 7-year-old, because what triggered And precipitated that… Multi-factor intergenerational trauma.

912
01:55:48.810 --> 01:55:53.510
Sheva Carr: was, in light of humanium metal.

913
01:55:54.200 --> 01:55:57.039
Sheva Carr: My best friend being murdered in gun violence.

914
01:55:58.170 --> 01:56:04.969
Sheva Carr: And so, for me, the work of mental health is inextricably linked to the work of peace.

915
01:56:06.140 --> 01:56:10.139
Sheva Carr: Nyanka, I think you wanted to get your voice in here, please.

916
01:56:10.140 --> 01:56:14.169
Nienke van Bezooijen: I just want to thank you for passing on the hope.

917
01:56:14.500 --> 01:56:22.409
Nienke van Bezooijen: Because if I saw the mainstream media, I felt there was more, but I couldn't reach it on a…

918
01:56:22.710 --> 01:56:28.519
Nienke van Bezooijen: tangible level, as you shared, together with Robert and Sandra, so I really want to thank you for that.

919
01:56:28.540 --> 01:56:43.579
Nienke van Bezooijen: And I was wondering if the Compassionate cities are involved in the Compassion Project, because there is a whole network of compassionate cities already existing, and I hear and feel a connection there.

920
01:56:43.740 --> 01:56:46.650
Sheva Carr: Beautiful. Will you send me information on compassion?

921
01:56:46.650 --> 01:56:47.780
Nienke van Bezooijen: Yep.

922
01:56:47.780 --> 01:56:53.930
Sheva Carr: not hear them mention that in the Globalization of Compassion session, but if you send me that information, we're going to.

923
01:56:53.930 --> 01:56:54.779
Nienke van Bezooijen: Oh, well.

924
01:56:54.780 --> 01:57:01.039
Sheva Carr: Anyway, so we'll see if we can… Facilitate that connection.

925
01:57:01.370 --> 01:57:02.670
Sheva Carr: I just wanna…

926
01:57:02.910 --> 01:57:11.170
Sheva Carr: maybe share one last photo. It's not, like, the best photo or anything, but it's sweet. It shows you how…

927
01:57:11.630 --> 01:57:20.560
Sheva Carr: How these conference rooms that are committed to changing the world for the better for humanity are…

928
01:57:21.020 --> 01:57:27.850
Sheva Carr: And, this, I mentioned I met the Harvard gentleman doing mental health for all.

929
01:57:28.220 --> 01:57:37.380
Sheva Carr: And you can see this was in the side event, United Nations high-level meeting on the Prevention and control of non-communicable Diseases and the promotion of mental health and well-being.

930
01:57:37.640 --> 01:57:39.270
Sheva Carr: better together.

931
01:57:39.570 --> 01:57:50.709
Sheva Carr: And that… how could that not… we didn't know that was the theme, and there it is. From me to we, we were just talking about it the night before in the happiness class.

932
01:57:51.100 --> 01:57:52.809
Sheva Carr: Better together.

933
01:57:53.560 --> 01:57:56.299
Sheva Carr: And we are. We are so much better.

934
01:57:56.470 --> 01:57:59.470
Sheva Carr: To do this together with all of you.

935
01:58:00.010 --> 01:58:06.030
Sheva Carr: I thank you, thank you, thank you, each and every one of you, for being ambassadors of heart.

936
01:58:06.920 --> 01:58:12.489
Sheva Carr: And I look forward to being with you on the Heart Start call tomorrow.

937
01:58:13.130 --> 01:58:16.460
Sheva Carr: As we continue our heart radiance.

938
01:58:16.810 --> 01:58:25.280
Sheva Carr: Anything else that anyone needs to be complete for today? Thank you for that resource in the chat. I've pulled it up, Inka.

939
01:58:28.000 --> 01:58:30.579
Nienke van Bezooijen: Yes, I love you. We love you.

940
01:58:30.690 --> 01:58:31.340
Nienke van Bezooijen: Okay.

941
01:58:31.340 --> 01:58:32.650
Sheva Carr: Have you back.

942
01:58:33.430 --> 01:58:36.980
Sheva Carr: Perhaps we can close with a quick coherence.

943
01:58:38.290 --> 01:58:48.789
Sheva Carr: That all these many people that you got to lay eyes on, or hear, or the ones you even didn't, walking the hallways of the United Nations.

944
01:58:50.160 --> 01:58:53.860
Sheva Carr: Stretching out of their comfort zones, all of us.

945
01:58:54.990 --> 01:58:56.720
Sheva Carr: Because we care.

946
01:58:58.900 --> 01:59:06.590
Sheva Carr: And because we love… To fill all those hearts with hope and vitality.

947
01:59:07.180 --> 01:59:08.650
Sheva Carr: And tenacity.

948
01:59:14.420 --> 01:59:16.109
Sheva Carr: to radiate.
