Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

Olivia Toro is a Program Manager for Aspen Challenge. For the 10 years prior to joining the Aspen Institute, she taught Earth science to middle school students in Brooklyn, New York and Washington, DC.
