 Something New-Ethical Will Writing Workshop
  Many people want to preserve and share their stories and wisdom, but they don't know where to begin or how to craft their message. A 4,000-year-old tradition, the Ethical Will, is the record of your beliefs and values, life lessons and hopes for the future, meant to be shared with loved ones. It began as storytelling and oral blessings passed on at life's end. Today, an Ethical Will can be expressed as a video, audio tape, embellished journal, scrapbook, or a simple handwritten letter. And it can be a cherished gift shared with loved ones during your life or a treasured statement to be passed on after you have, well, passed on.
