Seven Generation Legacy Projects
What is the Seven Generation Legacy Process?
The Seven Generation Legacy Process is a groundbreaking approach to cultivating lasting legacy projects with purpose. It’s about planting the seeds of significance today to flourish for generations to come, embracing the wisdom of ancestors, and inspiring future descendants. Our innovative model challenges the conventional focus on immediate project success by encouraging a visionary perspective—spanning at least 150 years.
As Thich Nhat Hanh eloquently reminds us:
“If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and all generations of your ancestors. All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the continuation of each of these people.”
The Seven Generation Legacy Process inspires visionaries to create impactful legacies that transcend generations through these guiding principles:
1. Respecting Traditions
Celebrate and preserve the values, stories, and practices of past generations. This foundation honors heritage and ensures its continuity in a meaningful and respectful way.
2. Documenting and Preserving Best Practices
Every member within a legacy project brings unique gifts that contribute to collective success. By documenting and sharing these insights, legacy projects can sustain their strengths and knowledge for future generations, rather than leaving their preservation to chance.
3. Finding Common Ground
A unified vision thrives on shared purpose. Identifying and committing to a collective mission fosters harmony within significant legacy projects.
4. The Whole Is Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts
True wealth encompasses more than material success—it’s about pooling resources to create a cultural legacy. This includes intellectual, financial, experiential, relationship, and spiritual capital, ensuring a richer, holistic inheritance.
5. Life is the Ultimate Gift
Your time, talents, and treasures are meant to fulfill your highest life purpose rather than merely amassing worldly goods.
6. Prioritizing the Value of Legacy Over Ownership
Everyone leaves a legacy—intentionally or not. Legacy projects are focused on how you’ll be remembered by your loved ones, community, and future generations. Each action you take today contributes to the legacy you’ll leave behind.
7. Making Bold Choices and Moving Forward
Embrace life passionately. Every decision shapes a legacy project. Share your gifts, make a difference daily, and inspire future generations to do the same.
The Seven Generation Legacy Process empowers legacy projects to create enduring impacts that resonate across time.

True Wealth is so much more than financial capital. Henry Ward Beecher said, “No man can tell whether he is rich or poor by turning to his ledger – it is the heart that makes a man rich – he is rich, according to what he is, not according, to what he has.” Therefore, to distinguish your financial wealth from more holistic wealth, we will refer to the latter as “True Wealth.”….To learn more,
Your life is but a fleeting moment in time. There is no guarantee of a tomorrow.
