The space inside the new Legacy Center building will inspire and educate, providing a unique environment for the sharing of ideas and information.

In a world of "too much, too big, too fast," the Legacy Center will offer a moment to reflect and rejuvenate. Educational experiences for children and adults will emphasize seven-generation systems thinking. The center will celebrate and explore who we are, where we've come from, and where we're going – as individuals and as communities. Guests will be able to enjoy the literal trees while exploring the figurative forest.

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 workshops will speak to a fundamental understanding of ourselves, our connections with others, and our role in the world from a seven-generation perspective. 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?
