Writing a Legacy Letter (Zoom)

7:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Event Details

This Zoom workshop invites you to write your own legacy letter.  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. A legacy letter is 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 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.  Because this is an interactive workshop, attendance is limited to 20 attendees.

In a long and varied career, Jay Sherwin has practiced law, given away money for five charitable foundations, worked as a philanthropy consultant and served as a hospital chaplain. Drawing on all those experiences, Jay created the Life Reflections Project to educate people about legacy letters and ethical wills; he now teaches classes and workshops on legacy writing and helps people craft their own legacy documents.  

Registration required.  Please sign up online or call 203-762-6334.  Attendance is limited but waitlist is available once the session is full.  Contact asato@wiltonlibrary.org with questions.
