Obituary & Legacy Letter Writing

Introduction to Guided Autobiography Workshop

Determine how you will be remembered by writing your own obituary and establishing what you want on your gravemarker. Why leave this to chance? Plus, it will be a huge gift to your family to have it written and decided before you die. One less thing for them to worry over.

We will also cover writing Legacy Letters so you can let the people you love and care about know how you feel about them, and pass on your values that are not typically shared in a Last Will and Testament. These can be given now, or the recipient can be given the letter after your death.

This is a five hour, two session class. You'll have two weeks between the first 3 hour class and second 2 hour session to compose your obit and write one Legacy Letter. You will need at least 4 hours writing time between classes. The second class we will hear each other's work and receive feedback. We will learn a great deal in the process.

A workshop to introduce a group of neighbors, friends, co-workers to GAB (Guided Autobiography takes two hours. You'll learn about GAB, it's history, the way it works with sensitizing questions around a theme, and do several writing prompts. We'll have the opportunity to share what we have written with the group.

This is a great way to test the waters and see if GAB is a good fit for you, without committing to a 7 class session.

Class needs 6 to go, $25 per person. Contact Mimi to set up a two hour workshop.

Class needs 4 to go, is capped at 6. $50 per person.
