The Legacy Project celebrates families, communities, and individuals. Through myriad activities, you will deepen your appreciation for and understanding of the people you care for, yourself, the Earth and her other inhabitants, and the Mystery that binds us all.
Your stories contain treasures of unimaginable wealth.
Through creative activities and storytelling opportunities, we will...
Explore individual and collective stories
Uncover insights and the gifts they carry
Heal hurts
Express your stories through words, images, recordings, and actions
Archive them for yourselves, those you love, and the ones you will someday love
Create new memories and stories
The original set of "Not-So-Trivial Matters: The Tom McLaughlin, Sr." edition, created in 1995
You’ll laugh and wonder and grow. Some memories and the gifts they contain may be challenging to revisit. You can begin composting those difficult memories and lessons to help you grow more beauty and love.

Other categories of inquiry you want to dive into
Whatever focuses you choose, we'll explore them through the metaphor of the 4 seasons cycle:
Spring: new beginnings and rebirth
Summer: high energy and growth
Fall: harvesting the fruits of our life
Winter: loss and hibernation
Spring Again: life and love win - spring always follows winter
