> This virtual retreat focuses on promoting a sense of wellbeing and
> self-confidence despite living with newly acquired vision loss, and/or
> lifelong blindness. Our collective experience has taught us that learning
> about blindness from competent blind people, while sharing the camaraderie
> of fellow retreat members, strengthens personal growth and guides seniors to
> advocate for themselves. Participants can look forward to receiving training
> in basic skills in adaptive techniques, development of new strategies for
> solving problems, an introduction to valuable resources, all to be better
> able to determine for themselves, what steps they can take to Live The Life
> They Want. We cannot overstate the positive impact an individual will
> experience as a member of a group of seniors, working together, sharing the
> life-changing activities in a retreat of this nature; just ask one of our
> recent graduates!
