Writing Your Own Spiritual Will

Hank Mattimore Series of 3 Tuesdays: Sept 7, 14, 21 from 4:30-6:30 pm. Cost: $60

Have you made out your spiritual will? Most of us are smart enough to make out our legal wills, disposing of our valuables. But what about passing on our values to our loved ones?

Spiritual or ethical wills harken back to an ancient Jewish tradition in which people left to their loved ones their hopes and dreams, their vision, their family stories, their gratitude and forgiveness. It's a marvelous way to tell the important people in your life that who you are and who they are is much more important than the "things" we possess.

Hank Mattimore, a former Catholic priest, is the author of "The Priest Who Couldn't Cheat," Caritas Communications 2004. Marinites may remember Hank as the first director of the Novato Human Needs Center. He is currently chairman of the Sonoma County Juvenile Justice Commission and writes a newspaper column for the Daily Republic Newspaper in Fairfield.

Mattimore is one of the Associates of the Legacy Center in Minneapolis/ St. Paul and has been writing about and conducting workshops on Spiritual or Ethical Wills for the past three years. He is committed to teaching people how to go about writing their own spiritual wills, calling them "love letters" to those we leave behind and "a marvelous antidote to the crass materialism that pervades our culture."
