Reflecting
The creation of your life's timeline, decade by decade, provides a reference tool for curating and crafting your sacred legacy.
Gathering
With sacred intention, you'll revisit the photos, letters, and souvenirs you've gathered through the years. Journal harvesting will also be explored. Your choices will become stepping stones for your legacy's curation.
Curating
While referring to your decades' timeline and your gatherings, you will choose a box, basket and/or binder to contain the curation of your sacred legacy.
Releasing
Identify your material essence and release the tangible and intangible things that no longer serve you. Discern which belongings that you're ready to pass along to others.
Reconnecting
What did you enjoy making, doing, and imagining as a child? The invitation is to reconnect with your imaginative and playful child-self.
Preparing
Your sacred legacy includes preparing for the life to come. How and to whom will you express your final wishes? Contemplate your preparation for the great adventure of eternal life as you grow ever closer to God, in the spirit of Memento Mori.
Embracing
Spiritual and creative practices will be explored to enrich daily life. The crafting of your sacred legacy is an ongoing practice and process. When the elder years are embraced through the lens of sacred legacy and intentional living, transformation is possible.
