Lasell Village Seminar - "Wisdom of Earth's Elders"
Jerry Friedman, photographer, author and founder of Earth's Elders Foundation, spent four years on a landmark project to introduce the world to the sixty oldest people on earth. Using his lens to capture a community that has never before been documented, the award-winning photographer has shed new light on the "invisible" world of people 110 years and older, known by researchers as "super centenarians." His work provides an unprecedented look at the hearts, minds and spirits of these "extreme elderly," and in the process, uncovers remarkable insights into health and the aging process. Inspired by the opportunity to improve the quality of life of the elderly, to teach children to recognize the wisdom and value of the elderly as positive and essential parts of our families and our society, and to improve the health of our communities through intergenerational tolerance and communication, Friedman created Earth's Elders Foundation an educational non-profit organization and published Earth's Elders: The Wisdom of the World's Oldest People in 2005.
