Life Mapping with David Oldfield

Описание: Chevy Chase at Home hosts an engaging conversation with David Oldfield about drawing your life’s journey as a map. The story of a long life fully lived is the great gift older adults offer – to their families and future generations, and to themselves. A fun and creative way of telling this story is by drawing your life’s journey as a map. Maps use images to symbolize where we’ve been, what’s impacted us, what we’ve learned, and how we’ve changed. Peaks of accomplishment and swamps of despair, crossroads of big decisions and shores of new beginnings – images are truly worth a thousand words!
Speaker David Oldfield has been inviting older people to construct maps of their lives for many years. He shares stories and illustrations from his recent book, "An Atlas of Aging," which features the life maps of 20 older adults from around the world. David Oldfield is the founder and director of Farther On, a movement dedicated to reframing the later years of life as an adventure to be lived rather than a problem to be solved. David has spent the last 35 years designing transformational experiences and toolboxes to help people through threshold times in the lifecycle--adolescence, midlife, retirement, and the final threshold of our deaths. David’s guidebooks and programs address these profound transitions and have been used around the world. Additionally, he is devoted to helping corporations and organizations through their own threshold moments of growth and renewal. His work is grounded in the timeless wisdom of world mythology.
This Speaker Series event was hosted by Chevy Chase At Home and moderated by Chevy Chase At Home Board Member, Susan Post.
