For more than 30 years, Marc Freedman—one of the world’s leading experts on the longevity revolution—has been on a quest to answer some of life’s modern-day and most urgent questions: With so many people living so much longer, what is the meaning of the increasing years beyond 50? How can a society with more older people than younger ones thrive? How do we find happiness when we know life is long and time is short? 

Get answers to these questions and more! Join Oasis for a power-packed discussion on Freedman’s best seller, How to Live Forever: The Power of Connecting the Generations.

Seven year old Alice McLeod has a special ear, an ear for musical sounds in and around her home in Detroit. A thunderstorm keeps Alice awake one night and as she listens to the storm from her bedroom window, the sounds of an owl and the rain seem to call her name. Playing outside becomes a sensory adventure for Alice.  "Alice's Musical Debut" re-imagines one day in the childhood of the late jazz pianist, harpist, composer, and organist Alice Coltrane - wife of the legendary jazz saxophonist and composer, John Coltrane. Set in the 1940s, "Alice's Musical Debut" reveals the magical connection young Alice McLeod has with nature sounds and musical rhythms. "Alice's Musical Debut" is a story filled with poetic language and imagery that speaks to the hearts of all children.
