Broughton Coburn's Aama’s Journey
Broughton Coburn, Harvard graduate, author of five books (including two national bestsellers) and public speaker brings Aama’s Journey -- a true and heart-felt story -- to senior living audiences. Join him on this exuberant, warm, captivating, poignant and powerful adventure.
Aama’s Journey shatters concepts of aging by demonstrating the wit and wisdom of the elderly in Himalayan culture – in a thoroughly American context. It is a perfect public speaking occasion for senior lifestyle staff and residents, raising challenging questions on aging and explores topical issues.
A speaker with a powerful message and an impressive resume, Coburn delivers high-level addresses for discerning audiences:
. 35 Knife and Forks Clubs across America – a renowned circuit of fellowship clubs offering diverse programs – personalities, political & religious leaders, entertainers, entrepreneurs and humorists
. American university and college audiences
. Corporations, museums and religious audience

Based on his first two books, Coburn’s compelling illustrated program begins in a subsistence farming village in the foothills of the Himalaya, where we are absorbed with the cosmology and philosophy, and the hope and humor of Aama — an elderly village woman with no previous exposure to Western civilization.
In 1992, Aama turned 84, a watershed year sanctified by a long-life ritual that relieves the elderly from further worldly duty, a time when they can focus on gaining additional merit before death.
That’s when Aama came to America. With Coburn and his companion Didi (now his wife), Aama’s searches 12,000 miles for the soul of the United States. Her feedback to the USA is humorous, surprising and sometimes disconcerting, yet her emotions and sensibilities live and breathe within us all.
Coburn is a premier authority on the culture and environment of the Himalaya. Now, he brings his fascinating story to the senior housing speaking circuit through Aama’s Journey.
