This workshop was presented as part of the Moral Ecology Trust, an initiative of the Colloquy on Culture and Formation at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture at the University of Virginia. The Trust seeks to network senior leaders across sectors to improve the health of the ecosystems that form good children, wise leaders, and virtuous citizens.
