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.

Buck, NEW VIEWS: Documentaries & Dialogue
Note: This is a past event, additional resources may be available below.
The Horse Whisperer may be the stuff of Hollywood legend but the cowboy who inspired the novel and film is very real. Buck Brannaman—master horseman, raconteur, and philosopher—is a no-excuses cowboy who travels the world sharing a hard-won wisdom that’s often more about human relationships than about horses. A Sundance audience-award winner, this wonderfully warm, gently revealing portrayal follows Brannaman from a troubled childhood to his inspiring work as a teacher. As he says, “Often, instead of helping people with horse problems, I’m helping horses with people problems.”
Guest: Director Cindy Meehl
