What to Expect
Seminar Dialogues
Each day starts by getting grounded with classic seminar dialogues. With a curated mosaic of global leaders and Aspen Institute-trained moderators, participants will take time to pause and gain new perspective. Asking the “big questions” will prepare you to engage and innovate in the day ahead. The seminar table is ready for you, download the readings and complete them once before arrival.
Nature, Reflection, and Movement
With the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains, we will spend intentional time engaging with nature, sound and movement to refresh the body and spirit. Explore regenerative Move and Metabolize sessions. Offerings include sound healing, creativity empowerment workshops, nature walks, and more.
The Youth Action Forum
If you registered your child for the Youth Action Forum, please be on the lookout for emails from Program Director Christian Devers. Parents are required to sign DocuSign Waivers, please check your emails to ensure they are completed before arriving to campus. Please download the readings and be sure that your youth participant completes them once before arrival. View the Youth agenda here.
Partnership with Generations Over Dinner
A curated, whole-table dinner conversation by tables of ten where we aim to have four generations at each table. The dinner is an exercise in trustful dialogue across generations, with the aim of building our collective wisdom.
Communities of Praxis
Communities of Praxis are your protected space and time at the Action Forum for intentional gatherings of participants who are working (or could be working) on related projects. One of the greatest strengths in our community is the trusting connections we build through dialogue. It follows that one of the greatest opportunities for impact is through leveraging these connections.
