CONSULTING THEMES & FEES
MANAGE HOME COLLECTIONS/ ECLECTIC CLUTTER & FAMILY HEIRLOOMS
Your home is full of family heirlooms and unique collections: rare books, silverware, ceramics, textiles, furniture, Ancient Greek antiquities, portraits, sculpture - and other fine artefacts all adding to its unique atmosphere. However, your home may require a review, to better manage, optimise, repurpose, protect or place more incoming things. Some acquisitions may be cluttering your spaces into an eclectic 'fine mess' or lay forgotten deep in storage for years - needing to be sorted out.
Also, consider the future of your precious possessions. Will your successors want them, as much as you do? Or, will they be auctioned off, at first opportunity? Are the items in your testament clearly stated and have they been recently appraised? Is the provenance of your art and its documents in order? Whether you are the present owner, inheritor or future heir of cultural artefacts, the Inheritance Muse sessions can help you sort out your thoughts and things. |

VALUE-BASED
SUCCESSION PLANNING & MEANINGFUL WEALTH TRANSFER Succession is a touchy subject for most people. It signifies accepting one's mortality and the impact one's life has on the life of others.

FAMILY LEGACY-
EXPLORE THE GEMS & BURDENS PASSED DOWN THROUGH LINEAGE When delving deeper into our family story, we will find intangible elements passed down to us by our parents & ancestors. These may include beliefs, values, strengths, talents, character traits, insights and experiences, that subtly shape our daily lives.
Some of these may be connected with limiting beliefs / patterns, cultural codes, family trauma or carry legacy burdens. Epigenetic science, has shown us that the memory of trauma can be transferred through DNA. Many personal dilemmas, anxiety or family conflict, originate from unresolved lineage issues. The Inheritance Muse Method™ offers the opportunity to map out, address, release, heal and evolve these parts, so that your personal & ancestral narrative becomes a more empowering one. |
