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.

Finding Home in America: A conversation with Baltimore Newcomers
Note: This is a past event, additional resources may be available below.
Many of us can relate to being a newcomer to a community. Aida Medina, Cross-Cultural Competencies Director of Highlandtown’s Gallery Church Baltimore, will lead a conversation with members of her community who are recent newcomers from Mexico, El Salvador and Colombia. We’ll explore how communities can actively embrace the rich cultures and traditions that newcomers bring, so everyone feels welcome and connected. Portions will be translated live from Spanish to English.Many of us can relate to being a newcomer to a community.
