Creating a Transformative Context for Family Legacy Work

Culture, Connection & Mindfulness

Executive Summary

  • This white paper aims to explore the potential inherent in utilizing mindfulness and connection practices in conjunction with recent advances in values-based intergenerational estate and legacy planning. We have found that this holistic combination of approaches supports exceptional outcomes for families seeking to pass on sustainable legacies of wealth, well-being, and meaning.
  • We propose three experiential pillars of practice: (1) understanding cultural connection challenges; (2) shared positive integrative experiences; and (3) ongoing connection practices that reinforce healthy ties.
  • Although some of the background information in this paper is detailed and may sound complex, the actual experiences and exercises we recommend are simple and wholesome. We sincerely hope that simply in reading this paper, you take away something that enhances connections and opens new possibilities in relationships for you and those you love.

In the end, this work is simple. We build connection through ongoing, shared experiences and awareness. We discover the wholeness and affinity that lies at the core of who we are. And we celebrate the return to our natural, joyful state of authentic connection, together.
