Writing a Legacy Letter In-Person
A legacy letter (also called an “ethical will”) is a written document that allows you to share your life lessons, express your values, and transmit your blessings to future generations. Writing one is a rewarding experience that creates an enduring gift for family, friends, and loved ones.
This introductory workshop includes discussion and brief writing exercises to help you examine your life history, explore your values, and capture important insights. It offers advice, encouragement, and a model structure to help you draft and complete your own legacy letter.
