The Murdock Mind, Body, Spirit Series reflects the founding principles of the Aspen Institute – a commitment to nurturing the ‘whole’ individual – by bringing a range of experts, innovators, and leaders to Aspen to discuss their research and share the latest revelations about the link between mindfulness, physical activity, and emotional well-being. The Murdock Series complements and expands the Institute’s work in the health arena, while introducing new speakers and audiences to its broader mission. The series is generously underwritten by Gina and Jerry Murdock.
