What is an Ethical Will?
An Ethical Will is a document of video passing wisdom,
knowledge, and cultural information to the next generation. It is usually
prepared by the elderly or terminally ill. It is a living, loving, spiritual
statement to the future. It is your legacy.
Why is an Ethical Will important?
In today’s fast-paced world where things are changing in the
moment, it’s easy to lose track of one another. It can also be difficult for
the current generation to understand where their traditions and heritage comes
from. A family may have lived in one geographical area for centuries, yet that
same area is completely different from when a grand or great-grandparent was
growing up. If someone is facing their mortality, sharing their hopes and
dreams with their loved ones can be therapeutic. Consider it a love letter to
your family or just to posterity—the lived experience of one helping
others.
What is your legacy? What are you leaving for future
generations? If you’ve lived, are at a turning point, or facing a life-changing
challenge, you should document your life. It can even be done virtually with a
just a bit of computer knowledge. If you have Skype, you can complete your
Ethical Will workshop from anywhere in the world.
