Nationally known writer and educator Joannah Merriman and I will be co-facilitating a workshop on LEAVING A LEGACY: WRITING YOUR ETHICAL WILL this February and March.
This course offers you an opportunity to examine and write your personal values, beliefs, life turning points and perhaps words of wisdom, creating a written record for the people who are most important in your lives. Writing what is often referred to as an ethical will can be as important as any material possession, but is often forgotten or put aside while we consult with our legal advisors when putting our finances and health care wishes in order.
We will reflect on our individual life experiences, learning to put into writing what we have found to be most valuable to us. Through this process, you will create a personal document in your own words and form, a legacy you can leave for your children, grandchildren or other family and friends.
Co-Facilitators: Joannah Merriman, M.A. and Steve Martin, CFP (r), RLP (r), MBA.
Cost: $125 for the 4-week course, including materials; $95 ($30 discount) for registrations before February 8th.
Schedule: Monday evenings: 6:30 – 8:30 p.m., beginning on February 22nd and running 4 weeks.
