May Aperture: “Writing a Legacy Letter,” led by Jay Sherwin
Wednesday, May 15, 7:00pm, Zoom ONLY
Also called an “ethical will,” a Legacy Letter is a written document that allows you to share your life lessons, express your values, and transmit your blessings to future generations. It’s shorter than a memoir, typically just a few pages. Writing one is a rewarding experience that creates an enduring gift for family, friends, and other loved ones. This introductory online workshop includes discussion and 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.
Please note that this Aperture will meet online via Zoom only. If there is enough interest, we hope to schedule a series on this topic in the near future. Please indicate your interest on the registration form. Register now
