About the session

Death has a 100% participation rate, with no chance of escape. But in your final moments when you take pause and look back on your life, what will you see? How might you be remembered, and what will you leave behind after you're gone?

In this expressive arts workshop, we'll use the concept of "legacy" to explore what's meaningful in life, and what makes for a good death. Through a range of fun writing and drawing activities, we'll explore the things that matter most (and least), and how we might each use our short time on Earth to make a difference. Our actions are our footprints, and thinking deeply about our legacy forces us to ask ourselves, "Are we being good citizens, and are we being good ancestors?
