"Healing Past Relational Wounds: By Mindfully and Compassionately Embracing the Present" with Dr. John Caldwell, Ph.d. Dr. Caldwell has been practicing mindfulness for more than a decade and it has been an important part of his personal and professional journey. While his formal practice of Vipassana (i.e., to see things as they really are) meditation has been critically important, the application of mindfulness in every-day life has been the most transformative. Over time, he has learned how to incorporate mindfulness techniques into his therapeutic work and how to teach people to use these techniques in their own lives. Filmed on 9.12.2019 at the Dor Hosier Building, Aspen Insititute, Aspen, Colorado. GrassRoots TV is the country’s first and oldest community cable television station.

As a child, Lou Dawson pored over his father's mountaineering books. So, after his troubled parents uprooted the family to live among Aspen's 1960's hippie counterculture, the obsessed teen seized the chance to explore the magnificent peaks literally right out his back door. When he discovered the addictive rush of powder snow and the mountain's dizzying heights, Dawson's lifelong affair with the all-consuming thrills of extreme sports began. While longing for a soulmate and the close-knit family he'd always desired, Dawson struggled to reach beyond the mountains' siren call- to find the true courage and forgiveness required of lasting relationships. In this conversation we get to know how the first alpinist to ski all of Colorado's Fourteeners found his true calling as a father crafting a solid foundation for his family.

Stephen Prina stages a special performance of his 1976 composition String Quartet for Six Players, which takes as a starting point Mozart’s String Quartet No. 15 in D minor, albeit conceptually rearranged. Using chance as a guiding compositional principle, the work is performed in response to the throwing of a die. Musical performers are from the Aspen Music Festival and School. Stephen Prina works in various media, including installation, painting, sculpture, film, and musical performance. His work examines the production and consumption of culture by making pre-existing media his regular point of departure, from the complete paintings of Manet to the classical compositions by Mozart to the book his father used to learn English upon emigrating to the United States. Without discarding their original meaning, Prina re-arranges and re-presents ideas to bring new possible meanings to the fore. This deconstructive approach poses questions about authenticity, authorship, and originality. Prina’s bodies of work often form continuous series in which elements are often revisited and repeated over the course of his career. Prina creates a framework of references that recontextualizes history with the contemporary, deftly drawing connections and challenging assumptions about representation and the role of art objects.
