Había oído hablar maravillas de Aspen Institute España, pero, aun así, el seminario al que asistí en Ronda superó todas mis expectativas. Vivimos en un mundo tan acelerado que a menudo resulta difícil encontrar el espacio y el tiempo para reflexionar sobre cuestiones fundamentales. Aspen Institute España me proporcionó ese espacio de reflexión y me permitió además compartirlo con un grupo extraordinario de personas con las que debatir y contrastar ideas desde la serenidad, la empatía y la escucha. Diría incluso que volví de Aspen transformada, con una mirada más serena sobre el mundo
