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.

  1. Aspen Community Programs

Presented as part of the Advancing Women’s Health Series.

Featuring Dr. Vonda Wright, board-certified orthopedic surgeon, author, and internationally recognized expert on women’s musculoskeletal health and active aging. Dr. Wright will explore how women’s bodies change with age and how science-backed strategies around movement, strength, and mindset can help us thrive in our 40s, 50s, and beyond. Drawing from decades of clinical experience and research, Dr. Wright will address the unique orthopedic and performance needs of women as they age, including how hormonal shifts affect joint health, bone density, posture, and injury risk. She’ll offer evidence-based guidance on how to stay strong, mobile, and resilient—supporting long-term health and quality of life at any age. This series is generously sponsored by Meredith Loring and Sami Inkinen.
Paepcke Auditorium, doors at 4:30 pm
