In a culture that prizes urgency, it’s easy to overemphasize the surge of energy that comes with doing and underemphasize what comes after completion. But sustainability isn’t found only in the high points of collective action; it’s built in the in-between, the troughs: the recovery rooms, the post-meeting debriefs, the kitchens and living rooms where people land, decompress, and make sense of what just happened. There is much in the moments of celebration and reflection to remind us of what we are building together.
