We have begun a new course, Writing an Ethical Will.
Monday evening, January 31, is the second of four sessions. No matter if you missed the first session – feel free to join the group at 7 pm via Zoom.
What is an ethical will? It’s a brief document that offers a window into the soul of the author, a creative summary of the lessons the author has learned over the course of his/her life. These “legacy letters” often become a “treasured part of a family’s history,” as it says on the back of the book Ethical Wills and How to Prepare Them.
During this course we will look at several examples composed throughout history, and then create our own. You will be invited to share your ethical will with the class, but it will not be a requirement, should you prefer to keep your writing private.
