David Oldfield is Director of The Center for Creative Imagination at The Foundation for Contemporary Mental Health in Washington, D.C. He holds a Masters Degree in Religion from Yale Divinity School, and a Masters Degree in Special Education from Southern Connecticut State University. He is the author of several books: The Journey: A Creative Approach to the Necessary Crises of Adolescence, a modern rite of passage experience used in schools, mental health facilities, churches and youth centers in over 40 states and several foreign countries; The Legacy, a diary of reminiscences for parents of teenagers; Private Paths, Common Ground: An Adult Rite of Passage, a multimedia tool for men and women to mark and honor the significant passages of their middle and later years; and Seven Islands of Experience, a multimedia program of renewal for education, mental health, community planning and the world of work. His workplace series, The New Basics, has been used by government agencies, financial institutions, corporations and non-profit organizations in re-organization, as a means for breaking old paradigms and developing more efficient, meaningful, and sustainable strategies for meeting the challenges of the future. A Year of Renewal is an ongoing organizational learning program that helps corporations assess their current level of functioning, and co-create a conscientious path into the future. The Second Journey: A Modern Call for the Ancient Role of Eldering is a program designed to reawaken in old people the treasures they hold within, and the means to share those treasures with young people. Mr. Oldfield is the architect of specialized programs for schools, business and industry, mental health institutions, government, service and religious organizations across the country. Under his guidance since its founding in 1980, The Center for Creative Imagination has become internationally recognized for its contribution to our understanding and use of imagination, myth and ritual, and creativity in our personal, professional, and organizational lives.
