Aspen España is for me an impulse to reconnect with my own curiosity when it is diluted between tasks and urgencies. In a world that requires us to give quick answers, and where dogmatism seems to be the only way to face the feeling of risk and navigate complexity, Aspen España offers forums where you can explore questions that do not have an easy solution and live (creatively) with uncertainty. For me, Aspen España meetings are always an opportunity to connect reflection with its ultimate and most important goal: an action that is meaningful and that aspires to generate some kind of good.

Aspen Institute Spain manages to create spaces in which it is possible to share freely, without egos and with humility, our ideas, to debate about great questions and values, with the unexpected goal of finding that the doubts that arise unite us, that they are universal and shared. To enter an Aspen seminar is to enter a bubble, in which the how is more important than the what, in which active listening is to participate, in which the conversation with the texts, with others and with our inner self is what allows us to find and build the common good. A place that is a flash in the eye, about our social responsibility.
