The Legacy Center is designed as a one-of-a-kind educational center where art and science come together in an inspiring natural setting. All our work is based
on scientific research, bringing together some of the best ideas of today's top thinkers. The Legacy Project enhances the education children receive in school, and provides lifelong learning opportunities for adults. Without new approaches to education that look at the bigger picture, there will be no solutions, inventions, discoveries, cures – and no hope. Education is the means through which we fulfill our greatest hopes and leave a meaningful legacy for generations to come.

On an individual level, social science research tells us that the need for legacy – the need to feel as though your life has meaning – is universal, spanning all races, cultures, and countries. On a social level, your individual decisions not only have meaning in your own life, but also affect the world we create and pass along to our children and grandchildren.

The Legacy Center's educational workshops emphasize seven-generation systems thinking, offering an opportunity to develop individual potential, strengthen intergenerational relationships, and advance action strategies on global issues like the environment. While the human mind may not be able to comprehend the effect our life has over thousands of years, it can comprehend seven generations. With increases in longevity, it's most likely you will have contact with seven generations: your own; three generations before you (parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents); and three generations after you (children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren). How can seven-generation systems thinking enhance the way you live your life and the legacy you create?

Workshops for children, teens, young adults, and older adults will encompass a variety of experiences, from interactive small-group presentations complemented by good food and inspiring views, to guest speakers who provoke new perspectives and discussion, to creative art and music events, to hide-and-seek nature explorations and guided Tree of Life Walks.
