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.

Exploring Hamlet through Film
Note: This is a past event, additional resources may be available below.
All truly great phrases come from Hamlet. This, our second annual seminar, is best captured by Shakespeare’s character, Guilderstern, when he said there will be “much throwing about of brains.” Over the course of two highly interactive sessions, Shakespearean experts Ken and Carol Adelman will lead participants through an exploration of Hamlet in film.
Participants will view and discuss clips from nine different films of Hamlet, gaining a more thorough understanding of this compelling work. Dinner will be provided both evenings (February 5 & 12, 2009).
Fee: $125. This program is open to anyone under the age of 45.
Featuring Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris, Ralph Metzner Distinguished Professor in Neurology, Psychiatry, and Behavioral Sciences at the University of California, San Francisco.
Featuring Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, renowned psychologist, neuroscientist, best-selling author, and University Distinguished Professor at Northeastern University.
Featuring Dr. Richard Haass, president emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations and author of “The Bill of Obligations: The Ten Habits of Good Citizens.”
