Guided by a trained instructor, participants are led through themes and priming questions that evoke memories of events once known but filed away and seemingly forgotten. Each participant writes a story on a particular theme each week, brings the story to class, and reads it to a small group of receptive classmates. Writing and sharing life stories with others is an ideal way to find new meaning in life and to put life events into perspective. While connecting with one another on their journeys of self-discovery, participants feel enlivened by the group experience and gain a greater appreciation of their own lives and of the lives of others. GAB can be a powerful catalyst for improved self-esteem, self-confidence, and communication within communities and within families.

THIS IS A 4 WEEK CLASS. SATURDAYS FEB 8, 15, 22, and MARCH 8

An Ethical Will is a gift you leave your loved ones. It’s a way to express your experiences, values, and other important themes and life lessons you want to pass down. Unlike traditional Wills, no money or property is passed on through Ethical Wills. Instead, you’re sharing your wisdom and advice with loved ones. 

In many ways, this kind of advice-giving can offer far more than anything of monetary value. Generally, an Ethical Will – sometimes called a legacy letter – focuses on a personal link from one family generation to the next. 

You can use an Ethical Will to pass on history, thoughts, life lessons, blessings, apologies, hopes, wishes, memories, and more.
