Four Sessions 






THIS CLASS IS FULL/AT CAPACITY

This course is offered online via the easy-to-use Zoom program.

This four-session course introduces the concept of “legacy letters” and encourages participants to craft their own legacy document. A legacy letter (sometimes called an “ethical will”) is a written document that allows people to share their life lessons, express their values, and transmit their blessings to future generations. The course includes discussion and brief writing exercises to help participants examine their life histories, explore their values, and capture important insights. It offers advice, encouragement, and a model structure to help participants draft and complete a legacy document that can be shared with family and friends.
